Overview
The Cisco Nexus 7700 Incremental VDC License (part number N77-VDC1K9) enables you to expand the virtual device context (VDC) capacity of your Nexus 7700 series chassis. Each license adds four additional VDCs, allowing greater segmentation, multi-tenant environments, and more granular resource allocation without additional hardware. This solution is ideal for data centers that require flexible, software-defined scaling while maintaining the high performance and reliability of Cisco's flagship switching platform.

Key Features

  • Adds four VDCs per license, increasing total VDC count up to the platform limit
  • Seamless integration with existing Nexus 7700 software and management tools
  • Supports full isolation of control plane, data plane, and management resources per VDC
  • Enables multi-tenant deployment for cloud providers, service providers, and large enterprises
  • License activation via Cisco Smart Licensing for easy tracking and compliance

Technical Specifications

  • Compatible with Cisco Nexus 7700 series chassis (e.g., 7710, 7720, 7750)
  • Requires Cisco NX-OS release that supports VDC scaling (refer to Cisco release notes)
  • Each license provides exactly four additional VDCs
  • License is perpetual and does not affect hardware warranty
  • Activation method: Cisco Smart Licensing portal or Cisco licensing manager

Applications
The incremental VDC license is suited for:

  • Large data center environments that need to partition workloads for security or compliance
  • Service providers offering isolated virtual networks to multiple customers on a shared physical infrastructure
  • Enterprises implementing multi-department or multi-project segmentation without deploying separate switches
  • Cloud platforms requiring dynamic scaling of virtual network instances while preserving performance

By adding VDC capacity with the N77-VDC1K9 license, organizations can maximize the value of their existing Nexus 7700 investment, simplify operations, and accelerate time to market for new services.
