Cisco ISR 4000 Configuration Guide
by PivIT Global on May 20, 2019 4:24:33 PM
The 4000 Series ISRs are Cisco’s versatile modular routers with LAN and WAN connections that can be configured by means of interface modules, including Cisco Enhanced Service Modules (SM-Xs), and Network Interface Modules (NIMs). NIM slots also support removable storage for hosted applications.
The following features are provided for enterprise and service provider applications:
- Enterprise Applications
- High-end branch gateway
- Regional site aggregation
- Key server or PfR master controller
- Device consolidation or "Rack in a Box"
- Service Provider Applications
- High-end managed services in Customer-Premises Equipment (CPE)
- Services consolidation platform
- Route reflector or shadow router
- Flexible customer edge router
The router runs Cisco IOS XE software and uses software components in many separate processes. This modular architecture increases network resiliency, compared to standard Cisco IOS software.

Cisco Smart Licensing
Based on a single technology, Smart Licensing has been designed to provide enterprise-level agreements for all Cisco products. Smart Licensing provides a software inventory management system that provides customers, Cisco, and selected partners with information about software ownership and software utilization.
Smart Licensing is a software-based end-to-end license platform that comprises several tools and processes that authorize customers to use and report Cisco products. Smart licensing has the capability to capture a customer's order and to communicate with Cisco Cloud License Service through the Smart Call Home Transport Gateway. Additionally, the Smart Call Home Transport Gateway helps to complete product registration and authorization based on the desired performance and technology levels of Cisco products.
Smart Licensing Options
View the two short videos below where we dive into a few of the options we can provide when it comes to smart licensing.
Watch the full conversation here:
Smart Licensing State Descriptions
State Name | Description | Licensing State |
Un-Configured | Smart Licensing agent is not enabled. | Not enabled |
Un-Registered | Agent is enabled, but the product is not registered. | Success unless license evaluation has expired |
Registered | Product is registered, but not authorized. | Success |
Authorized | License is a used license, but not authorized. | Success |
Out of Compliance | Never entered state | Out of compliance |
Expired | Fully authorized for all requests | Success if there is 90 days grace period |
