S-A9K-200G-AIP-SE

Description

The Cisco S-A9K-200G-AIP-SE Smart License enables Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) functionality on the ASR 9000 Series 200G Modular Line Card in Service Edge optimized (SE) variant. This license activates full-scale VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances, supporting advanced IP services on high-capacity 200G line cards designed for carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS edge deployments.

Key Capabilities and Benefits

• Provides investment protection through modular design with two open bays for ASR 9000 Series Modular Port Adapters (MPA), allowing mix-and-match of port densities, speeds, and optics.
• Supports simultaneous Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, including IP, MPLS, Ethernet, L2VPN, and L3VPN, reducing CapEx and OpEx while accelerating service deployment.
• Service Edge optimized for enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) in customer deployments requiring predictable, managed transport services.
• Delivers line-rate Ethernet and IP/MPLS edge services for applications like video on demand, IPTV, point-to-point video, Internet video, and cloud computing.
• Compatible with Cisco ASR 9922, 9912, 9910, 9906, 9904, 9010, and 9006 routers.

Interface and Protocol Support

• Pluggable interfaces: 1-Gigabit SFP, 10-Gigabit SFP+/XFP, 40-Gigabit QSFP, 100-Gigabit CFP2-ER4/CPAK SR/LR, and 200-Gigabit options.
• G.709 and Advanced FEC for transmission-layer OA&M and enhanced performance.
• IEEE 802.3 compliant Ethernet with 10G PHY monitoring, 802.x flow control, full-duplex operation, and per-port counters for policy drops, CRC errors, and packet statistics.
• Layer 2 encryption with MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) on supported MPAs: A9K-MPA-20X10GE, A9K-MPA-1X100GE, A9K-MPA-2X100GE, A9K-MPA-32X1GE (requires minimum IOS XR software).

Monitoring and Management

• Carrier-class OA&M: NetFlow, IEEE 802.1ag, IEEE 802.3ah, ITU Y.1731, IP SLA, VCCV, ping, traceroute.
• Operates on Cisco IOS XR Software: modular, patchable, scalable, highly available carrier-grade OS.

Port Density and Flexibility

In the 200G modular line card, supports two MPAs per card (except 2-port 100G and 20-port 10G limited to bay 0), achieving up to 20-port 10G, 64-port 1G, 4-port 40G, or 2-port 100G interfaces.

Reliability and Standards Compliance

• Line card Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) without system impact.
• NEBS Level 3: SR-3580, GR-1089-CORE, GR-63-CORE.
• Environmental: Nominal 5-40°C, short-term -5-55°C; humidity 10-85%; altitude up to 4000m.
• ETSI, EMC, Immunity, Safety standards including FCC Class A, UL/CSA/IEC/EN 60950-1.

Modular Port Adapters Compatibility

• A9K-MPA-1X200GE: 1-port 200GE.
• A9K-MPA-2X100GE / A9K-MPA-1X100GE: 100GE with CFP2/CPAK.
• A9K-MPA-2X40GE / A9K-MPA-1X40GE: 40GE with QSFP.
• A9K-MPA-20X10GE / A9K-MPA-8X10GE / etc.: 10GE and 1GE options.
