Frequently Asked Questions
What is in-line CGv6 transformation?
In-line CGv6 transformation refers to the process of converting IPv4 traffic to IPv6 and vice versa directly within the network device, such as a router. This allows networks to support both protocols simultaneously and facilitates the transition to an IPv6-only environment.
What are the benefits of upgrading to IPv6?
The primary benefit of IPv6 is its vastly larger address space, which is essential as the number of internet-connected devices continues to grow. It also offers improved security features, more efficient routing, and better support for new applications and services.
Does this license require additional hardware?
This is a software license that enhances the capabilities of your existing Cisco ASR 9903 platform. It does not typically require additional hardware, but it is always recommended to consult the Cisco compatibility matrix for specific platform requirements.
