Cisco Core & Agg Advantage RTU 400G for 8000 Series | Routing Licensing — ADN-CA-400G-RTU-2

Expand Cisco 8000 Series routing capacity with a 400G right-to-use entitlement designed for core and aggregation environments. This license is built for organizations that need to increase throughput on existing infrastructure while keeping procurement and deployment tightly aligned to actual demand. For network teams, the value is precision. Instead of overbuying hardware or redesigning the routing layer, this entitlement enables 400G capability within the Cisco 8000 Series framework, supporting higher-speed transport where backbone traffic, east-west flows, or aggregation loads are increasing. It is a practical fit for large enterprise networks and service provider environments that need to protect architecture decisions while adding headroom. Because it is a software licensing item rather than a physical appliance, it simplifies acquisition and planning. The result is a cleaner path to capacity growth, with licensing that maps directly to the platform already in place. For buyers comparing lower-cost alternatives, this model stands out when the requirement is not just more bandwidth, but a controlled way to extend the life and value of Cisco 8000 Series investments.
