Create a forty-row SFP/SFP+ schedule and identify whether the design needs an optional 8X or 2Q network module. Test the Essentials feature set against every planned control-plane function.
Do not copy the 40X-A license record or the 40X-2Q receiving list. This base order leaves the uplink-module decision open.
Capture purchased PID, discovered base PID, chassis serial, any network module, power and fan direction, IOS XE release, port-speed mode, optics compatibility, base license, term entitlement and Smart Account destination. Retest after module, software or port-mode changes.
