Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series 6-Slot 8x5xNBD Support | Enterprise — CON-L1NBD-C9606R-4

Keep a Catalyst 9600 core platform under disciplined support coverage with this 8x5xNBD service for a 6-slot chassis, one supervisor, and two line cards. It is built for environments where the switching layer carries business-critical traffic and downtime has a direct operational cost. This service aligns support response with standard business hours while preserving next-business-day replacement coverage, helping infrastructure teams manage risk without overbuying around-the-clock support for every asset. For organizations standardizing on Catalyst 9600 as a campus core or aggregation platform, that balance matters: it supports continuity, simplifies procurement, and gives operations teams a clear service boundary. The value is in reducing uncertainty. When a core switch is central to authentication, routing, segmentation, and access distribution, service coverage is part of the architecture, not an afterthought. This plan helps maintain that posture with a defined support model tied to a specific Catalyst 9600 configuration. Ideal For Campus core support for a Catalyst 9600 deployment Aggregation-layer coverage for enterprise switching infrastructure Standard business-hours support planning for network operations teams Procurement of service coverage for a defined Catalyst 9600 hardware configuration Why This Product 1 Defined 8x5 next-business-day coverage instead of ad hoc break-fix planning 2 Scoped for a specific Catalyst 9600 chassis and module configuration 3 Better fit for business-hour operations than 24x7 coverage on every asset 4 Supports core network continuity with a predictable service model
