Cisco IOS® Software is always evolving to provide you with more features of higher quality. Cisco IOS XE Software releases provide a modular structure for Cisco® ASR 900 Series Aggregation Services Routers. Why is this modularity important? It allows the software to significantly enhance quality and performance by taking advantage of the separation of the data plane and the control plane.
Cisco IOS XE Software on the Cisco ASR 902 Router, ASR 903 Router, ASR 907 and ASR 914 Routers, includes licenses for Metro Services, Metro IP Services, and Metro Aggregation Services. Feature sets can be activated as needed. In this way, customers pay only you for what they require and use.
Flexible Software Activation
ASR 900 Series routers support the Cisco IOS software activation feature. With this capability, Cisco IOS Software feature sets can be activated with software licenses, supporting a “pay as services grow” model. This model allows service providers to invest in software resources only when their businesses need it. All Cisco ASR 900 Series software licenses, except OC3/OC12/OC48/OC192 port licenses, are on a per-chassis basis. Cisco ASR 900 Series routers offer three Cisco IOS Software licenses:
● Metro Services license: Offers advanced Quality of Service (QoS), Carrier Ethernet Layer 2 features, Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) and Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) capabilities.
● Metro IP Services license: Offers all capabilities of the Metro Services license with the addition of IEEE 1588-2008 Ordinary Clock and Transparent Clock, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), Layer 3 features for advanced IP routing protocols, multi-VPN routing, and Layer 3 Multicast and Forwarding Customer Edge (multi-VRF CE) capabilities.
● Metro Aggregation Services license: Adds the following capabilities to the Metro IP Services license: Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP); MPLS, Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS), Circuit Emulation Service over Packet Switched Network (CESoPSN), and Structure Agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP) pseudowires; Multirouter Automatic Protection Switching (MR-APS); Multichassis Link Aggregation and Control Protocol (mLACP); MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS TE); MPLS Fast Reroute (FRR); and MPLS VPN support.
Table 2 lists the main features in the Cisco IOS licenses for ASR 900 Series routers. Availability of features is dependent on software release and implementation schedule.
