Cisco ACI Modular 8-16 Slot Advantage C1 Perp. | Enterprise Licensing — E2N-N9500M816-B1-A

Keep large modular fabrics aligned to a consistent operating model with Cisco ACI Modular 8-16 Slot Advantage licensing. This perpetual entitlement is built for previous LAN enterprise deployments and supports 8-16 slot modular environments where policy, segmentation, and operational consistency matter. For teams standardizing on Cisco Nexus 9500-class infrastructure, it helps preserve the ACI feature set needed to manage scale without recurring subscription exposure. Perpetual licensing is a strong fit for organizations that prefer capital planning over annual renewals. It supports long-horizon infrastructure strategies, especially in environments where the fabric is expected to remain in service for years and where feature continuity is more valuable than short-term flexibility. The result is a cleaner ownerJTFp model for procurement and a more stable control plane for network operations. Use this entitlement when you need to maintain ACI capabilities across modular chassis deployments and keep your fabric aligned with Cisco’s enterprise architecture. It is a practical choice for teams that want to protect prior investment in ACI while keeping expansion and lifecycle decisions under control.
