C8200-UCPE-1N8 8000 Series Edge Platforms Modules & Card

A platform for virtual network functions

C8200-UCPE-1N8 is Cisco Catalyst 8200 Edge uCPE hardware for branch virtualization. Its exact order lists an eight-core Intel processor, 16 GB default DRAM, one NIM slot and one PIM slot. Slots describe expansion capacity; they do not establish which modules are installed.

Software and entitlement must be specified

Cisco requires NFVIS selection and a Cisco DNA subscription when ordering this platform to run Catalyst 8000V as its routing VNF. The chassis model alone does not identify the purchased subscription tier, term or configured virtual appliances. Request the installed software inventory and entitlement evidence with the quotation.

Cisco uCPE ordering guide

Check memory and storage on the offered unit

The 16 GB figure is an ordering default, not an inspection of the unit for sale. Record installed memory, storage part numbers and module population. The ordering guide contains inconsistent default-storage references, so no default storage capacity is asserted here.

Plan around the published retirement schedule

Cisco explicitly lists C8200-UCPE-1N8 in EOL15697. Sales ended January 26, 2026; the final support date is January 31, 2031, subject to applicable entitlement. The last supported releases are NFVIS 4.18 and IOS-XE 17.18. Check contract eligibility and deployment requirements before relying on remaining support.

Cisco exact-model lifecycle notice

Keep the exact order identity on the quote

Cisco lists C8200-UCPE-1N8= separately as a chassis spare. Preserve the quoted suffix and verify included items rather than treating the two order lines as an identical bundle. Ask for a configuration list covering physical hardware, virtual appliances and transferable software rights.
