Overview

The Cisco ASR-9903-FC is a high-performance, 3RU compact chassis designed for the ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers under the IOS XR Flexible Consumption Model (FCM). It delivers 1.6T total capacity with a minimum requirement of 600G Essentials licenses to start, enabling service providers to deploy scalable edge routing solutions with investment protection and operational efficiency.

Cisco IOS XR Software Overview

  • Industry-leading, carrier-class, 64-bit IOS XR Software for operational efficiency, optimized utilization, and service agility (Cisco Evolved Programmable Network).
  • Rich features: Pre-boot eXecution Environment (iPXE) boot, auto provisioning, native support for third-party application hosting, machine-to-machine interface, telemetry, and flexible software package delivery.

Cisco IOS XR Flexible Consumption Model

In today’s dynamic networks, the FCM provides a simple, flexible pay-as-you-grow model. Customers can purchase software capacity incrementally as demand grows, with license pooling across the network and portability to next-generation hardware.

Customer Value Proposition

  • Reduce upfront capital: Built-in pay-as-you-grow structure lowers initial costs; defer software payments with subscriptions.
  • Utilize capital efficiently: Share licenses network-wide, eliminating stranded capacity.
  • Simplify operations: Two suites – Essentials for basic transport, Advantage for enhanced applications and resiliency.
  • Protect investment: Port RTU licenses to next-gen hardware; SIA entitles feature upgrades.

Model Components

  • Hardware: ASR-9903-FC chassis.
  • Perpetual RTU: Essentials and Advantage suites (per-100G/400G capacity).
  • Recurring SIA: 3-year (36-59 months) or 5-year (60-120 months) terms for upgrades and pooling.

Essentials suite for basic transport; Advantage adds Layer 2 advanced services, Layer 3 VPN, Peering, Traffic Engineering, MACsec, SL-API, BNG (ASR 9000).

Cisco Smart Licensing

  • Required for FCM compliance: Register devices and report usage.
  • Benefits: Real-time visibility, centralized management, telemetry, flexible organization.
  • Use My Cisco Entitlements (MCE) platform.

Supported Platforms

ASR 9000 Series including ASR-9903-FC, with 3rd/4th/5th gen line cards. Compatible with Cisco 8000, NCS 5500/540/560 Series.

Warranty and Support

  • 1-year limited hardware warranty with 10-day RMA turnaround.
  • Cisco Software Support for SIA; SP Base for device support; Advanced Services available.
