Cisco Encryption License for 100G Client Ports | NCS 2000, Enterprise — L-NCS2K-MRE100GK9=

Enable encryption on 100G client ports with a Cisco software license designed for secure optical transport environments. This entitlement is intended for organizations that need to protect high-speed client traffic while keeping the deployment anchored to the existing platform. For teams responsible for regulated data, inter-site transport, or sensitive backbone traffic, encryption is not an optional layer. It is part of the architecture. This license provides a direct path to activate encryption capability on supported 100G client ports, helping align security requirements with operational reality. The result is stronger traffic protection without introducing additional hardware complexity or redesigning the transport layer. Because it is a software license, procurement and deployment stay focused on the capability you need rather than the equipment you already own. That makes it a practical choice for environments where security, performance, and lifecycle control must stay in balance. Ideal For Enable encryption for 100G client traffic in transport networks Support secure inter-site connectivity for regulated data flows Add encryption capability without deploying external security appliances Standardize protected high-speed links across an existing Cisco platform Why This Product 1 Adds encryption capability without new hardware 2 Targets 100G client ports for high-speed transport 3 Fits secure backbone and inter-site traffic requirements 4 Uses a software entitlement model for simpler procurement
