CISCO A9K-9001-OPT-LIC= ASR 9001 Advanced Optical License

Identify the optical-license order

Cisco lists the exact A9K-9001-OPT-LIC= part number as an ASR 9001 Advanced Optical License in its manufacturer product-identification table. Keep the equals suffix on the purchase request. This listing is for a license, not physical switching equipment or an optical module.

Check the ASR 9001 entitlement context

The Cisco software-license operations white paper places the base A9K-9001-OPT-LIC in the ASR9001 license group and limits that entry to the ASR9001 chassis. It separately lists optical, AIP, video, mobile and ASR9001-S capacity licenses. These are distinct entitlements, not one universal feature-unlock package.

Match documentation and delivery identifiers

The historical operations table associates the base optical entry with S-A9K-9001-OPTLIC and L-SA9K-9001OPTLIC=. Those identifiers are useful when reviewing existing license records; they are not permission to substitute an order code or assume entitlement transfer. Have the supplier confirm the exact fulfillment route, receiving account and target chassis before purchase.

Before issuing a purchase order

Provide the installed chassis identity, software release and existing entitlement record. Request confirmation of the required optical feature, license applicability and support eligibility. The historical source tables do not establish present stock, immediate activation, a subscription term or current support for this exact order. Hardware, optics and a support contract should not be assumed included.
