Cisco 8201 Chassis 24x400GE QSFP56-D | Enterprise Routing, Chassis — SD-AR1K-82011028

Keep core network capacity available with service coverage aligned to the Cisco 8201 chassis and its 24 x 400GE QSFP56-D port configuration. This Level 1 offering is built for infrastructure teams that need dependable support around a high-density routing platform, where downtime, misconfiguration, or hardware issues can ripple across critical workloads. By focusing on the chassis platform itself and excluding software support, this package fits environments where operational teams already manage the software stack separately and want service coverage centered on the physical routing system. That makes it a practical choice for backbone, aggregation, and high-throughput transport deployments where port density and optical scale matter. For organizations standardizing on Cisco routing hardware, this service helps preserve uptime discipline and reduce uncertainty around support escalation. It is a fit for procurement teams that need a clear service line item tied to a specific chassis configuration, and for architects who want support aligned to the exact platform in production. Ideal For Backbone routing support for high-capacity enterprise networks Aggregation layer coverage for dense optical transport environments Service alignment for Cisco chassis hardware under separate software maintenance Procurement of support for production routing platforms with 400GE interfaces Why This Product 1 Covers the chassis platform rather than software support 2 Supports 24 x 400GE QSFP56-D connectivity 3 Fits high-capacity routing environments 4 Provides a clear service scope for procurement
