Cisco NCS 5500 Core & Aggr License — Per 50G Bandwidth, NC55P-CRAGR-50S-C | NCS License, 50G — NC55P-CRAGR-50S-C

Scale NCS 5500 core and aggregation functionality in predictable bandwidth increments with a per-50 Gbps license. The NC55P-CRAGR-50S-C license authorizes core and aggregation feature usage on eligible NCS 5500 devices, allowing you to align licensing costs to traffic growth instead of buying static feature bundles. For infrastructure teams managing multi-terabit aggregation fabrics, capacity-based licensing simplifies budgeting and capacity planning: add license increments as throughput requirements rise. Purchase through A5 IT for procurement validation, license entitlement mapping, and optional license migration planning to avoid service interruptions. This license model helps keep capital outlays aligned to delivered bandwidth while maintaining operational consistency across the NCS 5500 estate. Ideal For Incremental capacity expansion for NCS 5500 core routers in a carrier POP Licensing for burstable aggregation fabrics where throughput grows over time Budget-aligned licensing for phased WAN refresh projects Entitlement consolidation during migration to NCS 5500 platforms Why This Product 1 Buy per-50 Gbps increments to keep licensing aligned with bandwidth growth rather than prepaying for maximum capacity 2 Preferred for phased rollouts where traffic ramps; avoids overprovisioning compared with permanent full-capacity licenses 3 Easier entitlement mapping across sites compared with device-bound feature bundles 4 Procure through A5 IT to ensure entitlement validation and avoid downstream activation delays
