Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cisco CML CE?
Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) is a network simulation platform that allows users to build and test network topologies. CML CE (Community Edition) is a version often used for learning and basic simulation needs, while this expansion license enhances its capacity.
What does '10 Nodes' refer to?
In Cisco Modeling Labs, a 'node' typically refers to a virtual device (like a router, switch, or firewall) that you can deploy and configure within your simulation environment.
Is this a perpetual license or a subscription?
This is a subscription-based license with a term of 2 years, providing access to the expanded 10-node capacity for that duration.
