Cisco L-RD-4208S-6U12= Alteon 6G to 12G Upgrade

Raise the licensed throughput ceiling of a compatible Alteon application delivery platform from 6 Gbps to 12 Gbps. Cisco L-RD-4208S-6U12= applies to the Alteon D-4208 and D-4208S platforms, providing a defined capacity increase for installations where current traffic demand has exceeded the 6 Gbps entitlement. The upgrade is intended for existing platform deployments that require greater application delivery capacity without changing the underlying appliance model. Moving to the 12 Gbps tier can accommodate growth in client connections, application traffic, and services handled through the application delivery path while preserving the installed platform architecture. This license is specifically an upgrade from 6 Gbps to 12 Gbps, rather than a base platform entitlement. Confirm that the target appliance is a supported D-4208 or D-4208S system and that its current licensed capacity is the 6 Gbps tier before assigning the upgrade. The defined throughput transition makes it appropriate where a 12 Gbps licensed capacity target is required for an established Alteon deployment.
