Reviewing a Cisco SmartNet renewal, and noticed this time there are two tabs on the Excel sheet - SmartNet, and ECMU.
On this ECMU Tab, they are charging about $600 per license, per switch, per year, for our Nexus 9000 licenses.
I questioned our CDW rep, who said all Cisco licenses are "subscriptions" and this is our renewal. When I sent the documentation showing our licenses are perpetual, he asked his Cisco guy, who said this is for "updates and support" on the licenses.
As you know, there is no such thing as a software update for a license. Licensed features get updated with NXOS, and I get those updates through SmartNet.
So my question is what is ECMU, and do you guys pay it?
Thanks in advance.
