Cisco Catalyst 4500X

[PutmanoAIT]

I want to buy Cisco Catalyst 4500-X-16SFP+ and upgrade the license to Enterprise service. But license description show "IP Base to Ent. Services license for 16 Port Catalyst 4500-X". Is it means that only 16 port is Enterprise Service? If I add more 8 Ports module ,can it use Ent Service?

Please kindly advise.

Thanks,

Mano

Is it means that only 16 port is Enterprise Service?

The license is in blocks of 16- or 32 ports.  Let's say you purchase an Enterprise license for 16-ports and you got an optional 8-port module.  You purchase an additional license of "C4500X-16P-IP-ES" and this allows you an additional 16-ports of license.  You can't purchase a license for only 8 ports.

Thanks for your answer. So if we want to buy more 8 ports we need buy 16 license more?

Thanks,

Mano,

Yes thats right, if you want to buy more 8 ports you need to buy additional 16 license. Which is ("C4500X-16P-IP-ES").

hope this answers your query.
