Q
Can I transfer the DTLS license to a new Cisco Catalyst 9800 controller?
A

Q
Is the DTLS license subscription-based or perpetual?
A
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.
Q
How do I verify the status of my DTLS license?
A
On the controller CLI, run “show license all” or “show license summary” to confirm DTLS activation status and expiration (if applicable).
Q
What happens if I deploy a Catalyst 9800 controller without the DTLS license?
A
Without the DTLS license, controller-to-access-point traffic will fall back to software encryption or remain unencrypted, reducing performance and security.
Q
Does the DTLS license support High Availability deployments?
A
Yes. The DTLS license extends secure, encrypted DTLS tunnels across both active and standby controllers in HA pairs for uninterrupted failover.
Q
How does DTLS improve wireless network security on the 9800 series?
A
DTLS provides end-to-end encryption, preventing eavesdropping and tampering on management and data frames exchanged between access points and the controller.

A
Yes. The LIC-C9800-DTLS-K9 can be ordered directly from the Cisco online store or through the Cisco Commerce Workspace.
Q
How do I troubleshoot DTLS license activation issues?
A
Ensure device connectivity to Cisco Smart Software Manager, verify token validity with “license smart summary”, and review “show logging” for license errors.
Q
Does the DTLS license SKU include software maintenance?
A
No. The LIC-C9800-DTLS-K9 provides only the DTLS capability; Cisco SMARTnet or wireless subscription must be purchased separately for maintenance and updates.
