Cisco 48-Port 1G to 10G Upgrade Smart License for SE LC | Cloud Licensing — S-A9K-48P10GSE-UG

Move SE LC ports from 1G to 10G without a hardware refresh. This Cisco Smart License is built for environments where access demand grows faster than chassis replacement cycles, giving infrastructure teams a controlled path to higher-speed connectivity on 48 ports. It is a practical way to extend the life of deployed systems while aligning port capability with changing traffic patterns. For enterprise networks, the value is in precision. Instead of overbuying new hardware to solve a speed bottleneck, you can unlock 10G operation where the platform already supports it. That keeps capital spend focused on the upgrade that matters most: throughput. It also fits procurement models that prefer software-defined entitlement over physical replacement, with licensing that is easier to track and manage across the environment. Use it when access layers need more headroom for aggregation, storage adjacency, or high-bandwidth endpoints. The result is a cleaner upgrade path, less disruption, and a better match between installed infrastructure and current performance requirements. Ideal For Upgrade access ports for higher-throughput enterprise edge deployments Enable 10G connectivity on existing SE LC hardware Extend platform life without replacing installed switching infrastructure Support bandwidth growth in aggregation or adjacent storage environments Why This Product 1 Upgrades existing SE LC ports instead of replacing hardware 2 Covers 48 ports for a defined capacity increase 3 Moves connectivity from 1G to 10G 4 Uses Cisco Smart Licensing for entitlement control
