Frequently Asked Questions
What hardware is this license for?
This license is for upgrading specific Cisco SPA (Service Provider Application) modules on compatible Cisco routing platforms. It specifically facilitates the upgrade from a single-port OC12 POS SPA to a dual-port OC12 POS SPA.
What does 'SPA-1XOC12-POS-V2 TO SPA-2XOC12' mean?
It signifies an upgrade license. You are moving from a Service Provider Application module with one OC12 POS interface (version 2) to a module with two OC12 POS interfaces. This effectively doubles your port capacity for that interface type.
Is this a hardware upgrade or a software license?
This is a software license that enables the functionality of a hardware upgrade. You would typically need to install the SPA-2XOC12 hardware module in your router, and then apply this license to activate its full capabilities, including the second port.
