information about Cisco IOS XE Software, please refer to Cisco IOS XE Software for Cisco ASR
1000 Series Routers at:
http://www.cisco.com/go/asr1000. In general, if Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Routers are deployed in the enterprise environment, the Advanced Enterprise Services consolidated
packages should be ordered. If Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers are deployed in the service provider
environment, the Advanced IP Services consolidated packages should be ordered.
Ordering Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Feature Licenses
In order to turn on services on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, software feature licenses are
required, in addition to the appropriate Cisco IOS XE Software as described in the previous section.
Currently two types of feature licenses are available: right-to-use (RTU) licenses and number-of-
session licenses. Certain services require only RTU license, whereas other services require both
RTU license and number-of-session licenses. In the future Cisco will introduce additional feature
licenses for other value-added services (for example, intrusion prevention, etc.)
Services that require only an RTU license include the following:
●
IPsec service: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router IPsec application requires a RTU license
(FLASR1-IPSEC-RTU(=)), which allows you to enable IPsec 3DES and AES, Dynamic
Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), and Easy VPN.
●
Firewall service: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Firewall application requires a RTU
license (FLASR1-FW-RTU(=)), which allows you to enable Layer 4-through-Layer 7
firewalling. To enable per subscriber/user firewall in broadband and enterprise deployments,
the firewall RTU license, as well as the number-of-session licenses listed in the “Broadband
service” section, is required. Please refer to the “Per subscriber/user firewall service” section.
●
Flexible Packet Inspection (FPI) service: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router FPI
application requires a RTU license (FLASR1-FPI-RTU(=)), which allows you to enable
Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR) or Flexible Packet Matching (FPM).
●
Cisco IOS Software redundancy: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router software redundancy
requires a RTU license (FLASR1- IOSRED-RTU(=)), which allows you to enable software
redundancy on the Cisco ASR 1002 and Cisco ASR 1004 chassis.
Note: Software redundancy requires 4-GB DRAM on the RP1. Cisco ASR1002 by default comes
with 4-GB DRAM on the built-in RP1.
Services that require both RTU and Number-of-Session licenses include:
●
Broadband service: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router broadband application requires a
RTU license and one or more number-of-session licenses. Unlike on other Cisco products,
enabling Intelligent Service Gateway (ISG) technology on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers
only requires the RTU license (FLASR1-BB-RTU(=)). There is no separate ISG license
required other than the broadband RTU license.
You can combine multiple session licenses for the session count desired; for example, you
can purchase two 4,000-session licenses for 8,000 sessions, and you can combine a 16,000-
session license with a 4,000-session license for 20,000 sessions. You must order a number-
of-session license even if you plan to enable only one session.
Please note with ASR1000-RP1, the maximum number of sessions is 24,000. To support
maximum 32,000 sessions, you will need to order ASR1000-RP2 and ASR1000-ESP20.
