Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VTEP?
A VTEP, or Virtual Tunnel End Point, is a key component in network virtualization technologies like Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) or VXLAN. It encapsulates and de-encapsulates network traffic, enabling overlay networks to run over an underlay infrastructure.
What does 'Modular HW' refer to in this license?
Modular hardware refers to network devices, such as switches or routers, that have a chassis-based design allowing for the addition or replacement of line cards, power supplies, and other components. This license is specifically designed to manage these types of flexible hardware configurations.
Is this license a perpetual or subscription-based license?
This is a subscription-based license with a term of 4 years. This means you have access to the software and support for the specified duration, after which renewal would be required for continued use.
