CISCO ASR5K-00-PWGN01RM ASR 5000 Series

ASR5K-00-PWGN01RM Software Entitlement Identity

ASR5K-00-PWGN01RM is a Cisco ASR 5000 / StarOS software-license order code. It is not an ASR chassis or a physical WAN router. This page must be used to verify a software entitlement, not to select ports, power supplies, airflow, rack hardware or cabling.

Cisco's current public ASR5K software end-of-life table does not provide an exact-description row for this PID. The code is therefore retained without expanding its acronym or claiming a feature or capacity that Cisco has not confirmed in the public source.

What this order does not include

No ASR 5000 chassis, packet-processing card, interface module, cable, power component, rack accessory or physical appliance is included by this software PID. Hardware availability and compatibility must be handled as separate order lines.

Exact feature and capacity evidence

The exact feature expansion and capacity are deliberately not inferred from the PID tokens. Require a Cisco sales record, entitlement document or official product notice that repeats the complete code before approval.

PID-specific procurement case

Create a scope-bound acceptance test. The test should prove only the Cisco-confirmed function and capacity, not unrelated platform behavior. Record negative checks that show no unexpected entitlement or configuration was introduced.

Acceptance record for this line

For this exact order line, the accountable reviewer is the network change approver. The required evidence package combines the support-contract mapping, entitlement identifier and escalation contact; review it at the migration gate. If any identifier, account destination, platform scope or capacity statement conflicts, open a Cisco licensing case before consuming or transferring the right. Close the record only when another engineer can reproduce the entitlement decision from the stored evidence without relying on the product-page wording.

Entitlement identity

Require the Cisco quotation and entitlement record to repeat the complete PID, quantity and commercial term. Reject a line that shortens the code or replaces it with a family label because adjacent ASR5K licenses can authorize different functions and capacities. The approver should sign the exact order string and retain the Cisco source used to interpret it. If the source and quotation disagree, stop release and ask Cisco to resolve the discrepancy.

Feature dependency

Ask Cisco or the authorized source for prerequisite features, base licenses and release constraints. A feature entitlement may still be unusable when the required service, interface, charging function or policy package is absent. List every prerequisite as an owned configuration item. Verify those dependencies in staging or a controlled maintenance window before declaring the new feature available.

Activation acceptance

Define a successful activation test that is specific to the ordered feature. Preserve the license state, relevant configuration and one controlled functional result, then remove temporary test settings and close exceptions. The evidence should show the intended feature working and no unexpected license alarm. Record the reviewer and timestamp so a later support case can reproduce the entitlement state.

Security review

For encryption, filtering, lawful-intercept or traffic-control functions, obtain the required legal and security approvals before activation. Limit access to entitlement and configuration evidence to the authorized operational teams. Record the authorized business purpose and the teams permitted to view configuration or usage evidence. This control is especially important where the feature affects subscriber traffic or regulated functions.

Operational ownership

Assign an owner for license alarms, capacity consumption, renewal or migration dates and Smart Licensing communication. Add the exact PID to the configuration inventory so later audits do not rely on a generic router asset record. Define alert thresholds and review frequency. Close stale or duplicate entitlements so the inventory reflects what the platform can actually use.

Audit retention

Store the quote, entitlement notification, Smart Account transaction, activation output and acceptance result under one reference. Keep the exact PID searchable so an auditor can distinguish it from failover and different-capacity variants. Retain machine-readable outputs as well as screenshots. The record should let another engineer prove what was purchased, where it landed and whether it was accepted.

Lifecycle and migration check

Do not transfer the bulletin's dates from a neighboring ASR5K PID to this exact code. Ask Cisco or the authorized source to confirm lifecycle, migration and support status in the quotation, then retain that evidence with the entitlement record.
