Cisco CX Level 1 8X7NCD9500 1Y DNA Advantage HW | Support, Enterprise — CON-L1NCD-C9531AC2

Protect the hardware layer that carries your core network traffic. Cisco CX Level 1 8X7NCD9500 1Y DNA Advantage HW provides one year of support coverage for Catalyst 9500 hardware under an 8x7 NCD service model, giving infrastructure teams a clearer way to manage risk around high-value switching assets. This is the kind of coverage that matters when uptime, response expectations, and lifecycle planning are tied to production switching. It helps keep support status visible, reduces the chance of gaps during procurement cycles, and gives operations teams a more disciplined framework for maintaining Cisco hardware in service. For organizations standardizing on Catalyst 9500, that consistency is worth more than a generic support add-on. Use it when the cost of a support miss is measured in delayed changes, extended outages, or procurement scramble. The one-year term also makes it easier to align coverage with budget windows, refresh plans, and staged infrastructure upgrades.
