LAR0BRAS00

LAR0BRAS00 is a Huawei AR router licence. It is software rather than hardware, so nothing ships: a key or entitlement is applied to equipment you already have. The catalogue describes it as AR Bras 1K User License.

This part number needs a vendor check before we would quote it. It was not covered by the lifecycle review we ran across this catalogue, so we do not currently have a verified position on whether it is still available or what supports it. Rather than imply a confidence we do not have, we would rather check it.

What we will do. Confirm it against the vendor’s catalogue and lifecycle database and come back with the platform it covers, its current status and any replacement. Tell us what the equipment is doing and we can usually propose the right answer from the requirement rather than from the code.

The catalogue entry does not say which AR platform this licence is for, and that matters here more than it normally would. Because Huawei reused the AR numbering across two generations, a licence could belong to a platform that is current or to one withdrawn years ago, and the part number alone does not settle it. So we are not going to tell you this is obsolete and we are not going to tell you it is current. We will check it against Huawei’s catalogue and tell you which it is, along with what the current equivalent would be if it turns out to be the older generation.

One thing to be careful about with Huawei AR part numbers. Huawei reused the AR number space across generations, and the result is genuinely confusing: the AR1200, AR2200, AR3200 and AR3600 belong to the older AR G3 generation and are gone from Huawei’s catalogue, while the AR600, AR650, AR6100, AR6200, AR6300 and AR8000 are current products sold today as NetEngine AR. The numbers look similar and the status is opposite. It is also worth knowing that Huawei’s end-of-life notices for this range are titled “for Some Huawei AR Series Routers” — they retire specific part numbers rather than whole families, so no bulletin ever licenses the claim that an entire AR family is dead.

Green Code Technologies supplies Cisco and Huawei equipment and licences alongside HPE, Dell, Samsung and Netgear. We would rather tell you a part is no longer supported, or that we need to check it, than take an order for something that will not do what you need. Send us the platform, the software release and what you are trying to achieve and we will come back with a straight answer.
