Cisco SD-ARC-NCS1K14C NCS 1014 Controller

Provide controller hardware for a Cisco Network Convergence System 1014 environment where software is supplied separately. The SD-ARC-NCS1K14C configuration is supplied without software, keeping hardware controller selection separate from software entitlement and image planning. This distinction matters where the target environment has a prescribed software release, an existing software position, or separately selected platform software. Use this controller only in an NCS 1014 design where its platform role and software approach have been defined. It is not presented as a general-purpose Ethernet switch, a router chassis, or a standalone network-management appliance. Treat it as NCS 1014 controller hardware and validate the required controller role, installed software, interfaces, and site-specific integration requirements before installation. Within Cisco Network Convergence System hardware selections, this configuration is differentiated by its NCS 1014 controller designation and its no-software arrangement. The ordering code distinguishes hardware-only controller requirements from software-inclusive arrangements. This is relevant when replacing a controller or building an NCS 1014 platform around software that has already been selected for the environment.
