Cisco NXOS-NDB-F= Tap/SPAN Agg License for 1 Third-Party Switch | IT Management — NXOS-NDB-F=

Improve traffic visibility on a supported third-party switch without changing the underlying network design. Cisco NXOS-NDB-F= enables TAP/SPAN aggregation licensing for one switch, helping infrastructure teams consolidate mirrored traffic for monitoring, analysis, and troubleshooting workflows. This license is built for environments where packet capture and observability matter, but hardware refresh cycles do not fit the budget or timeline. By enabling aggregation on a single third-party switch, it supports more disciplined traffic collection and reduces the friction of working across mixed-vendor networks. For operations teams, the value is precision. You can preserve existing switching investments while improving how traffic is surfaced to monitoring tools and security workflows. That makes it easier to isolate issues, validate performance, and maintain visibility across critical segments. Cisco software licensing is often chosen when the cost of blind spots is higher than the cost of control. This SKU fits that model: targeted, specific, and designed to support a focused observability requirement on one switch. Ideal For Monitoring a single third-party switch in a data center rack Aggregating mirrored traffic for packet analysis tools Supporting network troubleshooting in mixed-vendor environments Extending observability without replacing existing switching hardware Why This Product 1 Targets one third-party switch instead of broad platform coverage 2 Focuses on traffic aggregation rather than full network management 3 Fits observability needs without hardware replacement 4 Supports mixed-vendor environments where visibility gaps matter
