Frequently Asked Questions
What are Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)?
Virtual Network Functions are software implementations of network functions that traditionally ran on dedicated hardware. VNFs allow these functions to run as virtual machines or containers on standard IT infrastructure, offering greater flexibility and scalability.
What does 'Core/Large VNFs' mean in this context?
This typically refers to the scale and complexity of the virtual network functions being managed. 'Core' functions are essential network services, while 'Large' indicates functions that require significant resources or handle substantial traffic.
Is this license tied to specific hardware?
This is a platform software license, meaning it enables the software capabilities of the Cisco IAP platform. While it manages VNFs that run on underlying hardware, the license itself is for the software platform's functionality and capacity.
