FAQs

Q: What is included under Flexible Consumption?
A: Flexible Consumption leverages Smart Licensing to enable capacity and feature entitlements based on subscription, rather than perpetual licenses.

A: SE (Scale Edition) provides higher control-plane and forwarding scale (e.g., routes, ACLs) suitable for larger networks.

Q: Are AC and DC power options available?
A: Yes. The platform supports AC or DC PSUs depending on the selected power SKU, with dual PSU redundancy.

Q: Which optics can be used on the 100G ports?
A: QSFP28 100G optics (e.g., SR4/LR4/ER4) and DAC/AOC cables are supported; verify exact SKUs on the official compatibility list.

Q: Does it support automation and telemetry?
A: Yes, with model-driven telemetry and modern APIs such as NETCONF/YANG and gNMI.
