FLS-A901-4S= is a physical paper-license spare for the Cisco ASR 901 platform. Cisco maps it to the Gige4SfpUpgrade feature, enabling four SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports on supported 1-Gigabit models. This SKU is not an ASR 9000 router and does not ship a chassis, optics, cables or additional port hardware.
Cisco's licensing table associates this feature with A901-4C-FT-D and A901-4C-F-D. It enables SFP ports 8 through 11 on those supported models. Record the target router PID and serial, installed IOS release and current license inventory; a license intended for a different ASR 901 hardware family can install as unsupported.
The trailing equals sign identifies the spare paper-license form. Preserve the PAK or entitlement document, purchase record and device binding. Confirm that the code has not already been consumed and that Cisco can still support the intended activation workflow. The electronic counterpart is L-FLS-A901-4S= and must not be substituted without agreeing the delivery method.
Cisco lists the ASR 901 and this physical upgrade among end-of-sale products and states that no replacement is currently offered in that bulletin. Treat the purchase as support for an installed legacy platform: verify software compatibility, entitlement transferability and recovery records before relying on it.
