Cisco Premier Perpetual SW for 8000 Type B Device Switch / Router

Perpetual licenses provide customers the ability to access and use specific perpetual software functionalities without the requirement to purchase the complete software package.

A DCO optics license is required when the router port is configured to operate in Digital Coherent Optical (DCO) mode. A DCO license is needed for support of any coherent optics in a Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) or Octal SFP (OSFP) form factor. These licenses are consumed per 100 Gbps for any ZR and ZRP optics, and there is no minimum fill rate. Customers should order the quantity of optics to be deployed.

The three license types mentioned above (Essentials, Advantage, and Premier) are available for each product classification, which can be either A, B, C, or D or Extra Small, Small, Medium, or Large, depending on the product family.
