FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Cisco licence term, feature and hardware lifecycle questions for operators in Switzerland.

Yes, for platforms past Cisco end of support, quoted against the installed configuration.
Probably not. Several Cisco platforms are sold with term licences that enable specific feature sets for a fixed period. When the term expires the hardware continues to forward traffic and the licensed features become unavailable — which presents as capability disappearing from equipment that is otherwise entirely healthy.
They are separate clocks that tend to run out near each other, which is what makes it confusing. Support ending removes the entitlement to firmware and assistance; a licence term ending removes features. An estate can hit both within months and experience it as one event.
That is a commercial question with Cisco rather than a hardware one, and we would not pretend otherwise. What we can address is the hardware layer underneath — keeping the platform supplied so the decision about licensing is made on its own terms rather than forced by a failure.
It can, where entitlement is bound to a device identity. Worth establishing before a replacement rather than during one, particularly on switching platforms.

Two Clocks That Look Like One

A Cisco platform in long service is governed by two separate expiries. Support ending withdraws firmware access and assistance. A term licence ending withdraws specific feature sets. They are unrelated mechanisms with unrelated commercial arrangements, and because they frequently run out within months of each other, an estate experiences the combination as a single confusing event.

Features Disappear From Healthy Hardware

When a term licence lapses the switch continues to forward traffic perfectly. What stops are the capabilities the licence enabled, and they stop on equipment reporting no fault of any kind. The natural reading is that something has broken, and considerable time can be spent investigating hardware that is working exactly as designed.

The Licence Question Is Not a Hardware Question

Restoring licensed features is a commercial matter with Cisco and there is no technical route around it that we would recommend. Being clear about that boundary matters, because conflating the two leads organisations to replace working hardware in the belief that it will restore a capability that was never a property of the hardware.

What We Can Keep Out of the Decision

The hardware layer. An estate whose components are obtainable makes its licensing decision on commercial grounds and on its own timetable, rather than having it forced by a failure that cannot be repaired. ICD supplies switching, fabric and UCS components for platforms past Cisco end of support, and notes that entitlement can be bound to device identity — worth establishing before a replacement rather than during one. Everything we ship is tested first and warranted for one to three years.
