The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco Nexus 1000V uses a multi-hypervisor licensing approach, which allows you to migrate a license from one Cisco Nexus 1000V switch platform type to another. For example, you can migrate the license from a Cisco Nexus 1000V for VMware VMware vSphere switch to a Cisco Nexus 1000V for Microsoft Hyper-V switch.

Cisco VSG license is integrated with the Cisco Nexus 1000V for VMware vSphere license. When the advanced license for Cisco Nexus 1000V for VMware vSphere is installed, the license for Cisco VSG is automatically included.

The Cisco Nexus 1000V Virtual Service Module (VSM) requires a license that controls the number of CPU sockets on each Virtual Ethernet Module (VEM) that is used for the Cisco ASA 1000V. If the VSM does not have enough licenses, and you deploy a Cisco ASA 1000V without license support, the traffic is not allowed to pass through the Cisco ASA 1000V which means the following:
For the traffic that passes from the inside to the outside interface, traffic never reaches the Cisco ASA 1000V. See syslog 4450002 for more information in the Cisco ASA Series Syslog Messages.
For the traffic that passes from the outside to the inside of the interface, the Cisco ASA 1000V allows the initial packet to pass through, but the vPath module on the Cisco Nexus 1000V rejects the packet, and Cisco ASA 1000V rejects the flow. See syslog 4450002 for more information in Cisco ASA Series Syslog Messages
