Cisco Asr 1001 License Plate: How to Order and Configure the ASR 1000 Series Routers



I believe it's rather telling when you look at the ASR1001-X licensing docs and read "You can upgrade the throughput of the ESP from 2.5 Gbps (default) to 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 20 Gbps " - the 20G value kind of gives it away. My time in the ISP world showed licensing issues with ISR/ASR are always a theme. Someone forgets to apply the 20G perf license on the main DC WAN router or doesn't do a restart or doesn't apply the RTU license + restart during the initial installation. And then you're the lucky one to discover the main DC is running on the default 2.5 Gbps simplex license and you need to do a reboot in the quarterly downtime window on some Saturday night. Bonus points if the end customer is the one pointing out this licensing issue and you're trying not to facedesk. Don't even get me started on the 10G interface licenses for the same ASR1K-X.
