Cisco DPX50/X90 Pluggable 2x40G NIC License Fixed SMS-1K | Enterprise — 95-2X40NIC-SMS-1K

Add 40 GbE connectivity to DPX50/X90 platforms with a fixed SMS-1K license tied to a pluggable 2x40G NIC configuration. This license is built for teams that need to expand high-speed network capacity without changing the operational model of the appliance. It supports environments where throughput headroom, interface density, and consistent service behavior are essential. For infrastructure teams, the value is in keeping performance aligned with traffic growth while preserving a controlled licensing footprint. That matters when the platform is carrying critical inspection, protection, or traffic-handling workloads that cannot tolerate bottlenecks. The fixed license model also simplifies procurement and standardization across deployments. Use this option when you need a precise entitlement for a specific DPX50/X90 configuration rather than a broad, variable package. It is a practical fit for organizations that want to scale capability in a measured way and maintain clear asset control across production systems.
