What features are included in the default IP Base model package for the ISR 900?

Question

Options

• Abasic connectivity, VPN, and Zone Based Firewall
• Brouting protocols, Zone Based Firewall, and MPLS
• Crouting protocols, quality of service, basic connectivity, VPN
• Drouting protocols, quality of service, and basic connectivity

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  91% (43)

Explanation

Option D is correct because the IP Base feature set for the Cisco ISR 900 series provides the foundational tier of functionality: routing protocols (such as OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), quality of service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, and basic connectivity - nothing more.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because Zone Based Firewall is part of the Security license, not IP Base; VPN also requires an additional license tier.
• B is incorrect because MPLS requires a separate license, and Zone Based Firewall belongs to the Security package - neither is included in IP Base.
• C is the trickiest distractor: it correctly lists routing, QoS, and basic connectivity, but adding VPN pushes it out of scope - VPN support requires upgrading beyond IP Base.

Memory tip: Think of IP Base as "the bare minimum to route traffic intelligently." If a feature sounds like security (firewall, VPN) or advanced WAN (MPLS), it needs a higher license. IP Base = Routing + QoS + Connectivity - just "RQC, nothing fancy."
