ASR5K-SW-R8C-K9 Overview
ASR5K-SW-R8C-K9 Software Identity
ASR5K-SW-R8C-K9 is the non-spare Cisco ASR 5000 system-software PID for Release 8 CDMA and general functions. It is a legacy software orderable identifier, not a chassis, processing card or current StarOS entitlement.
Installed-asset verification
Use this PID to reconcile historical purchase records with the software actually running on the ASR 5000. Capture the active release, build, licensed functions, hardware PIDs, configuration backup and operational dependencies. A matching product code in an old order does not prove that a transferable or currently supported entitlement remains available.
Release 8 scope boundary
Cisco separately listed an `R8U` PID for UMTS, while `R8C` covers CDMA and general software. Confirm the intended technology and deployed service before associating this SKU with a platform. Do not expand it to UMTS-specific functions or later-release capabilities without separate Cisco evidence.
Migration assessment
Cisco's Release 8 end-of-life notice identified ASR5K-SW-R12-K9, Release 12.0 system software, as the replacement at that time. Treat that historical mapping as lifecycle evidence, not a current upgrade recommendation. Review every intermediate release requirement, hardware support boundary, configuration conversion, license impact and rollback plan for the actual system.
Change-control evidence
Before any upgrade, preserve boot media, configuration, license records, health outputs and recovery access. Validate target software integrity and hardware compatibility in an approved lab or maintenance process. After change, test control-plane health, subscriber/service functions, alarms, redundancy and rollback readiness.
Commercial and support status
This page describes the base non-spare PID. The separate `ASR5K-SW-R8C-K9=` spare form should be matched to the purchase document when replacement media or a spare orderable code is involved. Cisco ended Release 8 sales and support long ago; availability and entitlement must be verified rather than inferred from this page.
