Cisco 8000 Hardware License-100G | Routing License, Enterprise, 100G — 8000-100G-HW-LIC

Expand Cisco 8000 platform capacity with a 100G hardware license designed for environments where throughput, port speed, and long-term infrastructure planning matter. This license enables 100G functionality on supported hardware, helping teams scale network performance without a disruptive platform refresh. For enterprise backbones, aggregation layers, and service provider edge deployments, the value is in precision: add the capability you need while keeping the base system in place. That makes it easier to align spend with actual traffic growth, preserve rack and power planning, and maintain a cleaner upgrade path as demand increases. This is the kind of license procurement teams buy when the cost of under-sizing is higher than the cost of planning ahead. It supports capacity decisions that are easier to defend, easier to forecast, and easier to standardize across a Cisco 8000 deployment strategy. Ideal For Enable 100G capacity on a Cisco 8000 deployment Expand backbone throughput without replacing the base platform Standardize licensing for high-speed routing rollouts Plan capacity upgrades for enterprise or service provider networks Why This Product 1 Activates 100G capability without a platform replacement 2 Fits Cisco 8000 capacity planning workflows 3 Supports high-speed routing expansion through licensing 4 Provides a defined path for enterprise backbone growth
