Cisco CON-L1SW-CAPASR1 Catalyst Center 44-Core Upgrade

Expand or refresh a Cisco Catalyst Center Appliance deployment with the 44-core Generation 2 configuration designated by CON-L1SW-CAPASR1. Catalyst Center appliances provide the compute platform for Cisco centralized network-management software, so appliance configuration must align with the planned management environment. This upgrade designation applies to the appliance platform rather than to an Ethernet switching port, wireless radio, or routing interface. The 44-core designation is the defining capacity reference in this product description. Treat that number as a configuration identifier for the appliance upgrade when checking the target system’s required platform generation. Generation 2 is equally material because it distinguishes this upgrade from appliance options intended for a different hardware generation. The combination of 44-core capacity and Generation 2 designation narrows selection to a specific Catalyst Center Appliance configuration. The practical deployment context is a Catalyst Center environment where centralized network automation, assurance, and policy workflows run from appliance-hosted software. Select this configuration where the architecture calls specifically for a 44-core Generation 2 Catalyst Center Appliance upgrade. It belongs in appliance capacity planning, where processor-core configuration and hardware generation affect the target platform selection. The product description identifies an upgrade configuration; it does not characterize an access-layer network device or a standalone endpoint.
