The M-I ordering path is a Metro-to-Metro IP upgrade. Check the existing feature entitlement on the ASR 903 before choosing it; do not confuse an upgrade article with the separate Metro IP base-license article.
The manufacturer describes Metro IP as extending Metro Services with advanced IP routing, BFD and multi-VRF customer-edge functions. Availability depends on the software release. Metro Aggregation is a different feature tier, so an MPLS aggregation requirement must not be approved solely from this Metro IP listing.
Cisco ended ordering for the affected paper license on September 15, 2017 and names an electronic replacement. This is an article-level fulfillment transition, not evidence of an ASR 903 platform support endpoint. Keep the requested and proposed replacement codes distinct on the quotation.
No router, interface card or optics are supplied by this license identity. Request confirmation of entitlement eligibility, the installed release and the proposed fulfillment route. The page does not promise current manufacturer stock, transfer rights or automatic activation.
