RFP Questions and Responses:

QUESTION: Cisco Prime Infrastructure licenses were requested with C9500-16X-EDU devices, but they are End of Sale. Would you accept an offer without PI licenses for these switches?

RESPONSE: Yes, you can exclude the PI license line item.

QUESTION: For both C9300L-48UXG-4X-EDU and C9300L-24UXG-4X-EDU available part numbers seem to be without the middle dash (C9300L-48UXG4X-EDU and C9300L-24UXG4X-EDU). Please confirm that you will be accepting offers containing the latter part numbers.

RESPONSE: Yes, you can quote without the middle dash.

QUESTION: Please confirm that you will consider offers for C9300L-STACK-KIT and STACK-T3-3M if they are offered as functionally the same spare items (C9300L-STACK-KIT= and STACK-T3-3M=)?

RESPONSE: Yes, as long as the quote contains two stack modules and a 3M cable.

Is your organization specifically looking to purchase Palo Alto Networks equipment or are you open to receiving an equivalent quote from another manufacturer.
