Support and hardware replacement iA support contract (Cisco Smart Net) gives you Cisco TAC around the clock, software updates and a replacement part if the hardware fails – the level decides how fast the part arrives. The contract can run for 1, 3 or 5 years – choose the term in the quote basket. Without one, the manufacturer's standard warranty applies. Read the guide: How Cisco licensing works →3 options
Licence (NX-OS) iThe licence follows the product and has the same quantity as the hardware. If you are unsure you can skip it – we add the right licence in the quote. Read the guide: How Cisco licensing works →7 options
Transceivers 10G SFP+ iEvery fibre port needs a transceiver. SR = multimode fibre within the building, LR = single-mode up to 10 km, T = copper (RJ45). Between switches in the same rack a DAC cable (CU) is cheapest. Read the guide: Transceivers and cables – what fits? →39 options
