minimum of 20 of foundational software licenses each of which licenses 10G worth of bandwidth. The
foundational software licenses are available in four types based on the software features:
• IP/MPLS - For ports that use only IP/MPLS software feature.
• IP/MPLS + L2VPN - For ports that uses IP/MPLS with layer 2 Ethernet Flow Point (EFP) software
feature.
• IP/MPLS + L3VPN - For ports that uses IP/MPLS with layer 3 Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
software feature.
• IP/MPLS + L2VPN + L3VPN - For ports that uses IP/MPLS with layer 2 EFP as well as layer 3 VRF
software features.
Additionally, each foundational software license is available in two tiers called as basic and advanced that
provide lower and higher scale support respectively for the supported software feature. You can also optionally
purchase additional licenses for specific software features that are not included in the foundational licenses.
These additional licenses are available metered on a per 10G bandwidth basis or for the entire router.
If you are installing the 8-port 100-Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (TR and SE variants) in the chassis, ensure
that V2 fan trays are installed in all the fan tray slots.
Note
16-Port 100-Gigabit Ethernet Line Card with QSFP28/QSFP+
The 16-Port 100-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) line card provides sixteen ports for QSFP28/QSFP+ modules that
operate at a rate of 100 Gbps.
Each line card has a single tristate Status LED to display card status. Each QSFP28/QSFP+ port on the line
card has a port status LED visible on the front panel. The LEDs are described in Line Card LEDs, on page
138.
When the 16-port 100GE Line Card with QSFP28/QSFP+ is inserted in a Cisco ASR 9922 chassis, you must
use the ASR 9922 Fan Tray V3.
The following figure shows the 16-Port 100-GE line card front panel and LEDs.
