SLASR1-IPB-SV

Description

The Cisco SLASR1-IPB-SV is the IP Base Smart License for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, delivering foundational enterprise-class routing capabilities optimized for high-performance WAN edge and aggregation services. This license activates the IP Base feature set, enabling robust Layer 3 IP services including dynamic routing protocols, quality of service, security features, and MPLS support essential for modern service provider and enterprise networks.

Key Features and Benefits

• Advanced IP Routing: Supports static and dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF (v2/v3), EIGRP, BGP (with policy-based routing), RIPng, and IS-IS for scalable IPv4 and IPv6 routing across complex topologies.
• Quality of Service (QoS): Comprehensive QoS toolkit including Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ), Low Latency Queuing (LLQ), policy-based routing, and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) to prioritize traffic and ensure service level agreements.
• Security Services: Zone-Based Policy Firewall (ZBFW) for stateful inspection, IPsec site-to-site VPN tunnels (3DES/AES), and ACL-based security to protect network edges.
• MPLS and Carrier Features: MPLS forwarding, Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN), and Point-to-Multipoint Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) for service provider edge deployments.
• Multicast Support: Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Sparse Mode/Dense Mode, Source Specific Multicast (SSM), and Multicast VPN (MVPN) for efficient content distribution.
• Smart Licensing: Leverages Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) or Cisco Smart Software Manager Satellite for automated, flexible license management, evaluation periods, and right-to-use (RTU) enforcement with subscription flexibility.
• High Availability: Integrates with ASR1000 chassis redundancy, Stateful Switchover (SSO), Non-Stop Routing (NSR), and In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) when combined with appropriate hardware.
• Performance Optimized: Leverages the ASR1000’s embedded services processors (ESPs) for up to 100 Gbps throughput depending on chassis, with hardware-accelerated crypto and services.

This license is critical for deploying cost-effective, feature-rich edge routers in branch offices, data centers, and WAN aggregation points. It provides the baseline functionality required before upgrading to Advanced IP Services or Advanced Enterprise Services for richer capabilities like full BGP, GETVPN, or performance routing.

Deployment and Management

The SLASR1-IPB-SV license is delivered electronically via PAK key or Smart License authorization code, enabling immediate activation post-purchase. It is compatible with all Cisco ASR 1000 Series platforms including ASR1001-X, ASR1002-X/HX, ASR1004, ASR1006, and ASR1013, running Cisco IOS XE software versions supporting Smart Licensing (typically 16.9+). Management is streamlined through Cisco DNA Center, vManage (SD-WAN), or CLI/SNMP for monitoring license usage and compliance.

Use Cases

• WAN edge routing for enterprise headquarters and branches.
• Service provider PE router for L3VPN and Internet peering.
• Secure aggregation with firewall and QoS for cloud on-ramps.
• Migration path to SD-WAN with Viptela integration.
