ASR5K-041GE-T-K9= Cisco ASR5000 Spare 4-Port Copper GE QGLC Line Card

ASR5K-041GE-T-K9=: original QGLC spare control and four-port recovery checklist

ASR5K-041GE-T-K9= is Cisco's retired QGLC service-spare order: a 4-port 1 Gigabit Ethernet interface card supplied for copper SFP. It is an ASR 5000 card, not a complete chassis, router or software license.

Order-form boundary

The trailing equals sign identifies a service-spare order form. Keep the card sealed or ESD-protected, record storage location and serial number, and rehearse the slot-specific replacement procedure without treating the spare as additional active capacity.

Physical interface acceptance

Document SFP identity, cable category, pair test, remote handoff, negotiated speed and error counters. A copper order must not be substituted with an optical variant.

Chassis and slot verification

Before purchase, confirm the exact ASR 5000 chassis, supported slot, installed software release, available power and the maintenance method. Preserve a pre-change configuration and map the 4 interfaces to their intended service endpoints.

Retired-platform control

Cisco lists this order family in the ASR 5000 end-of-sale table. Confirm current support status, available spares and the migration design before using legacy stock for expansion. Acceptance should include card recognition, administrative state, negotiated link, error counters and rollback evidence.
