L-C4500X-IP-ES= Use Case
Multi-Tenant MPLS VPN Deployment on Catalyst 4500-X 16-Port
A managed service provider installs a Catalyst 4500-X 16-port switch in its regional PoP and upgrades from IP BASE to Enterprise Services license (L-C4500X-IP-ES) to enable full MPLS, advanced BGP and Layer 3 VPN capabilities. By leveraging MPLS L3VPN and VRF segmentation on a single chassis, the provider delivers isolated customer networks over shared infrastructure. Outcome: achieves 40% hardware consolidation, accelerates new tenant onboarding by 60%, and maintains SLA-backed performance for multi-tenant services.
Campus EVPN Fabric with Catalyst 4500-X 24-Port License Upgrade
A large university datacenter deploys a Catalyst 4500-X 24-port switch as a leaf in an SD-Access fabric and upgrades to the Enterprise Services license (L-C4500X-IP-ES) to unlock BGP EVPN, VXLAN, and segment routing. This enables dynamic endpoint mobility, automated VLAN provisioning, and scale-out architecture across campus buildings. Outcome: supports 10,000+ endpoints with 50% faster network segmentation, simplifies multicast distribution, and reduces VLAN sprawl.
High-Availability Enterprise WAN Aggregation with Advanced QoS and Telemetry
A global retailer configures dual Catalyst 4500-X 24-port switches in an active-standby pair at its primary WAN hub and applies the Enterprise Services upgrade license (L-C4500X-IP-ES) to activate Flexible NetFlow, advanced QoS (NBAR), IP SLA and enhanced multicast. The deployment delivers granular traffic classification, real-time path monitoring, and resilient failover for critical retail applications. Outcome: guarantees sub-10ms jitter for VoIP, provides continuous network visibility, and reduces unplanned downtime by 75%.
