What is the MPC7E-10G IR Mode License (SKU: S-MPC7E-10G-IR-SX)?
The MPC7E-10G IR Mode License (SKU: S-MPC7E-10G-IR-SX) is a software entitlement that enables in-service infrared (IR) optics support on Cisco routers equipped with the MPC7E-10G line card.
Which Cisco router platforms support the MPC7E-10G IR Mode License?
The MPC7E-10G IR Mode License is supported on Cisco CRS-3, ASR 9000 and NCS 5500 Series routers that host the MPC7E-10G line card and run IOS XR 5.x or later.
How do I install the IR Mode License on my MPC7E-10G line card?
Upload the .lic file to the router’s flash, enter license install <filename.lic> in EXEC mode, then commit with commit license to activate IR mode on the MPC7E-10G.
How can I verify that the MPC7E-10G IR Mode License is active?
Run show license status or show platform hardware throughput to confirm that IR optics support is enabled and the MPC7E-10G is operating in IR mode.
What features does the MPC7E-10G IR Mode License unlock?
Enabling IR mode on the MPC7E-10G allows use of extended-reach, low-cost infrared 10G-SR transceivers, simplifies optics replacement, and improves in-service flexibility.
What are the firmware and software requirements for IR mode?
Your router must be running Cisco IOS XR 5.3.x or later with MPC7E-10G firmware 12.4 or above. Verify compatibility in the Cisco Feature Navigator.
Does the IR Mode License affect MPC7E-10G performance?
No. The IR Mode License only toggles optics compatibility. Throughput, latency, and port bandwidth on the MPC7E-10G remain unchanged.
Can I migrate from SX to IR mode on the same MPC7E-10G port?
Yes. With the IR Mode License installed, you can replace SR/SX optics with IR-mode transceivers without hardware changes or downtime.
Is the MPC7E-10G IR Mode License perpetual or term-based?
SKU S-MPC7E-10G-IR-SX ships as a perpetual license. There are no recurring fees once the IR Mode License is installed on your device.

No. Cisco IR Mode License is validated only with Cisco-qualified infrared 10G-SR optics to ensure interoperability and maintain warranty coverage.
How do I renew or extend my MPC7E-10G IR Mode License?
Perpetual licenses do not require renewal. For enhanced support or upgrades, purchase a Cisco SMARTnet contract tied to your router’s serial number.
What is the difference between SX and IR optics on MPC7E-10G?
SX optics use multimode fiber up to 300 m, while IR optics (enabled by IR Mode License) extend reach to 550 m on 50 µm multimode fiber with the same 10G-SR transceiver.
