SLASR903-I

Description

Cisco IOS XE Software for Cisco ASR 900 Series Aggregation Services Routers provides a modular structure, enhancing quality and performance through separation of data plane and control plane. The SLASR903-I license activates the Metro IP Services feature set on the Cisco ASR 903 Router, supported as of Cisco IOS XE Software Release 3.5.0S.

Flexible Licensing Model

ASR 900 Series routers support Cisco IOS software activation, enabling a pay-as-services-grow model. All licenses except specific port licenses are per-chassis. The Metro IP Services license (SLASR903-I) includes all Metro Services capabilities plus advanced Layer 3 features: IP routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, IS-IS), Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM SM, DM, SSM with mapping), BFD, multi-VRF CE with service awareness (ARP, ping, SNMP, syslog, trace-route, FTP, TFTP), and IEEE 1588-2008 Ordinary Clock and Transparent Clock.

Software Packages
