Cisco – ASR1K feature licensing navigation

bgpbgp-ipv6ciscocisco-asr

I'm looking at deploying a pair of ASR1001 units at the WAN edge to support 2x IP Transit and 1x Peering services.

I need to do IPV4 and IPV6 eBGP and iBGP to advertise the peering routes into the core as the peering service will only be on one of the two units.

I'm having real trouble finding a succinct summary of the differences in available features between each feature license. Would anyone be able to either point me to an appropriate link or summarize what features are available from which feature set?

I have described the above scenario to a sales rep who has advised I need the Adv. Ent. Services feature set to unlock all functionality of BGP; but I'm somewhat suspicious of that recommendation…

For the ASR 1K, Advanced Enterprise Services is needed to support "legacy protocols" (IBM, IPX, etc.), but for IP protocols, including IPv6 and BGP, Advanced IP Services should be adequate. See the following links for more information.

Cisco – What are the components and licensing of a full Cisco CUCME PBX

On a 2900/3900 platform, the UC license is required to use the CUCME/SRST functionality. It is in addition to the base OS. Once unlocked the commands will be available (no upgrade needed).
As of Unity express 7.0.2, the CUE modules are licensed separately for a given number of mailboxes.
Spare phones (with an = in the part number) are technically unlicensed. You can use them with the system, as the CUCME router platform is licensed to a specific number of phones per hardware platform. While you don't need the licenses to operate the phones, you should probably purchase them to stay on Cisco's good side.
CUBE should be unlocked with the UC licenses on the 2900/3900 platform.
For 30 phones, you probably want a 2911 or 2921.

Brett is right in that you probably need to contact a Cisco VAR/Partner to sort out the licensing issues. They have people on staff that can take care of that for you and probably get you discount off list pricing.
