Cisco SL-ES3G-16-IPS= IPS Services Upgrade 16-Port | Enterprise Licensing — SL-ES3G-16-IPS=

Add IPS Services coverage where traffic risk is highest and keep your switching environment aligned with security policy. Cisco SL-ES3G-16-IPS= is a licensing upgrade for 16 EtherSwitch ports, giving infrastructure teams a practical way to expand inspection and enforcement capabilities on supported Cisco platforms. This type of entitlement is built for organizations that want to strengthen segmentation and traffic control without a hardware refresh. It fits environments where access-layer or distribution-layer switches must support security requirements that go beyond basic forwarding. By licensing the feature set on the existing platform, teams can preserve capital, reduce disruption, and maintain a consistent operational model across the network. For procurement and architecture teams, the value is in targeted enablement: purchase only the capability required for the deployed port count, then align security coverage with the actual switch footprint. That makes it easier to standardize configurations, document entitlements, and keep network services tied to business-critical segments.
