Cisco Advanced Optics License for 24X10GE Linecard

Keep 24X10GE linecards aligned with the optics capabilities your network design requires. Cisco Advanced Optics License for 24X10GE Linecard (Smart) provides the entitlement needed to activate advanced optics support under Cisco Smart Licensing, helping infrastructure teams manage feature access with clearer control and less manual overhead. This license is built for environments where port density, optics compatibility, and operational consistency matter. Rather than overbuying hardware or working around feature gaps, teams can match licensing to the deployed linecard and preserve the intended performance profile of the platform. That matters in aggregation, edge, and service-provider environments where 10 GbE connectivity still carries critical workloads. Because it is delivered through Smart Licensing, entitlement tracking stays tied to Cisco’s modern licensing model, which simplifies compliance management across distributed operations. For procurement teams, that means a cleaner path to purchasing the exact capability required. For architects, it means the linecard can be deployed with the optics support needed to meet design targets.
