The LIC-C9800-DTLS-K9 is a perpetual license that enables Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) to encrypt and secure communications between Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers and connected access points.
The DTLS license is supported on all Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series controllers, including 9800-40, 9800-80, 9800-L, and 9800-CL platforms.
The DTLS license unlocks hardware-accelerated encryption, ensuring secure, high-performance connectivity between access points and the controller for production-grade wireless deployments.
You can purchase the DTLS license through any authorized Cisco partner, reseller or via the Cisco Commerce Workspace using SKU LIC-C9800-DTLS-K9.
After purchase, register and assign the license in Cisco Smart Software Manager, then use the controller CLI command “license smart enable idtoken <token>” to activate DTLS.
Yes. DTLS licenses are transferable via Cisco Smart Licensing. Deactivate the license on the source device, then reassign it to the target controller in the Smart Software Manager portal.
The LIC-C9800-DTLS-K9 is a perpetual license. It requires a valid Cisco SMARTnet or Cisco Catalyst Wireless subscription for ongoing support and software updates.
On the controller CLI, run “show license all” or “show license summary” to confirm DTLS activation status and expiration (if applicable).
Without the DTLS license, controller-to-access-point traffic will fall back to software encryption or remain unencrypted, reducing performance and security.
Yes. The DTLS license extends secure, encrypted DTLS tunnels across both active and standby controllers in HA pairs for uninterrupted failover.
DTLS provides end-to-end encryption, preventing eavesdropping and tampering on management and data frames exchanged between access points and the controller.
DTLS is a TLS-based protocol optimized for UDP, delivering low-latency encryption for control plane traffic between access points and the controller.
Yes. The LIC-C9800-DTLS-K9 can be ordered directly from the Cisco online store or through the Cisco Commerce Workspace.
Ensure device connectivity to Cisco Smart Software Manager, verify token validity with “license smart summary”, and review “show logging” for license errors.
No. The LIC-C9800-DTLS-K9 provides only the DTLS capability; Cisco SMARTnet or wireless subscription must be purchased separately for maintenance and updates.
