Cisco DCN Security License Term N9500 Modular M4/M8/M16, 1Y | Enterprise — C1-N9K-SEC-M-1Y

Maintain licensed security coverage on Cisco N9500 modular platforms with a 1-year term built for M4, M8, and M16 configurations. This license is intended for teams that need to keep security capabilities aligned with the installed chassis and line-card environment while avoiding gaps that can complicate change windows, audits, and renewal planning. For infrastructure groups running Nexus-based data center fabrics, term licensing provides a clean way to preserve entitlement on the deployed hardware without introducing unnecessary platform changes. It supports procurement discipline as well as operational continuity, especially where security services are tied to specific modular switch configurations and renewal cycles must be tracked precisely. This SKU is suited to organizations standardizing on Cisco N9500 modular switching and looking for a defined 1-year licensing interval. It helps keep support and compliance planning straightforward, with a term structure that fits annual budget cycles and refresh reviews. For enterprise environments, that clarity matters: it reduces ambiguity, keeps the installed base aligned, and supports stable operations across critical data center infrastructure.
