Cisco DefensePro X80-10G Upgrade to X80-20G — License Upgrade, 10 G to 20 G | Appliance, DDoS — L-RD-DPXUX80-10G=

Raise operational capacity for deployed DefensePro X80 appliances by upgrading the licensed throughput from 10 G to 20 G. This upgrade license is designed for infrastructure teams that need more mitigation bandwidth without the cost, downtime and revalidation of a hardware swap. Activation applies to the existing X80 appliance chassis and preserves configured signatures, policies, and event history so incident response and logging continuity remain intact. The license produces immediate capacity changes once installed through Cisco licensing portals and local appliance management, enabling rapid response to evolving traffic and threat patterns. For procurement and architecture teams, this option reduces capital expense and accelerates time-to-capacity, while keeping the same appliance platform and operational processes in place. Note: this SKU represents a license upgrade; ensure appliance compatibility and service contract alignment prior to purchase. Ideal For Scale mitigation capacity for a DefensePro X80 deployed at internet edge Increase throughput for a datacenter ingress under growing traffic loads Address new service rollouts that raise peak traffic without swapping hardware Extend service life of DefensePro X80 while deferring capital replacement Why This Product 1 Increase throughput without replacing chassis to avoid capital expense and long procurement cycles 2 Activate capacity immediately via license instead of waiting for hardware delivery and installation 3 Preserve existing policies and signatures to avoid revalidation and configuration drift 4 Lower total cost of ownerJTFp by extending appliance service life versus full hardware refresh
