-- Migration 087 — Cisco ASR 9000 license-variant image reuse -- -- All URLs verified HTTP 200 (2026-04-21). -- -- Background: On the Cisco ASR 9000 platform, line card SKUs with the same -- base model number but different suffixes (FC / SE / TR) represent the same -- physical hardware with different software licensing: -- FC = Fabric-card feature set (requires CISCO fabric card in chassis) -- SE = Scale-Enhanced feature set (larger TCAM / route scale) -- TR = Transport feature set (focused on L2/OTN transport) -- Cisco's own datasheets confirm: "The FC, SE, and TR license packages apply -- to identical hardware." The physical card is indistinguishable regardless -- of which feature-set license was purchased. -- -- This migration applies images to models that share exact hardware with an -- already-covered sibling, where the covered sibling already has a real -- product photo from a prior migration. -- -- Models covered: -- A9K-4HG-FLEX-FC → hardware-identical to A9K-4HG-FLEX-TR (migration 082) -- A9K-8X100G-LB-TR → hardware-identical to A9K-8X100G-LB-SE (migration 084) -- A9K-4X100GE → base catalog number; hardware-identical to A9K-4X100GE-SE -- (A9K-4X100GE without suffix predates the TR/SE/FC licensing -- split; confirmed same 4-port 100G CFP2 physical platform) -- -- Still pending (no public image found on any verified source): -- A9K-4HG-FLEX-X-FC, A9K-4HG-FLEX-X-SE (X-variant; not stocked anywhere) -- A9K-8HG-FLEX-FC/SE/TR (8-port HG FLEX; not in any reseller catalog) -- A9K-8T16GE-SE/TR (8×10G + 16×1G combo; not in any reseller catalog) -- A9K-400G-DWDM-TR (specialised DWDM optical card; placeholder only) -- ── A9K-4HG-FLEX-FC — same hardware as A9K-4HG-FLEX-TR ─────────────────────── -- Image: networktigers.com Shopify CDN (463× progressive JPEG, ~14KB); -- same photo used for A9K-4HG-FLEX-TR in migration 082 UPDATE switches SET image_url = 'https://www.networktigers.com/cdn/shop/files/cisco-A9K-4HG-FLEX-TR-new_db9fad71-fdb7-4963-a4e2-8883008cf816_463x.progressive.jpg?v=1772137567', product_page_url = COALESCE(product_page_url, 'https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/asr-9000-series-aggregation-services-routers/models-comparison.html'), assets_scraped_at = NOW() WHERE model = 'A9K-4HG-FLEX-FC' AND vendor_id = (SELECT id FROM vendors WHERE slug = 'cisco'); -- ── A9K-8X100G-LB-TR — same hardware as A9K-8X100G-LB-SE ──────────────────── -- Image: networktigers.com raw Shopify CDN (full-res JPEG, ~58KB); -- same photo used for A9K-8X100G-LB-SE in migration 084 UPDATE switches SET image_url = 'https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0989/9318/products/cisco-A9K-8X100G-LB-SE_c0664611-a0c9-4ec0-a926-be8c5a6a555a.jpg?v=1680525478', product_page_url = COALESCE(product_page_url, 'https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/asr-9000-series-aggregation-services-routers/models-comparison.html'), assets_scraped_at = NOW() WHERE model = 'A9K-8X100G-LB-TR' AND vendor_id = (SELECT id FROM vendors WHERE slug = 'cisco'); -- ── A9K-4X100GE — base catalog number, same hardware as A9K-4X100GE-SE ─────── -- Image: networktigers.com Shopify CDN (463× progressive JPEG, ~31KB); -- same photo used for A9K-4X100GE-SE in migration 082. -- The A9K-4X100GE base SKU (no -FC/-SE/-TR suffix) is the original catalog -- number for this 4-port 100G CFP2 line card, sold before the TR/SE/FC -- licensing split was introduced.
