Key Features
C9300-DNA-A-24-3Y identifies DNA Advantage coverage for a 24-port Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switch, not a C9300L fixed-uplink or fiber-model license.
The 3-year term gives procurement a defined entitlement period without moving to the longer 5-year or 7-year Catalyst 9300 DNA Advantage options.
This SKU is tied to 24-port Catalyst 9300 copper licensing, so it should not be substituted for 48-port, 1G fiber, fixed-uplink, or Catalyst 9300X license SKUs.
Cisco software entitlement ordering depends on Smart Licensing handling, so the customer Smart Account or partner account path should be confirmed before purchase.
Use this SKU only when the design has been approved for DNA Advantage rather than DNA Essentials.
The exact SKU separates Catalyst 9300 hardware family, 24-port scope, Advantage tier, and 3-year term in the buyer’s bill of materials.
Application Scenarios
Use C9300-DNA-A-24-3Y when a new 24-port Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink copper switch order requires DNA Advantage for a 3-year term.
Choose this license when the quote must remain on DNA Advantage and the buyer wants to avoid substituting the 24-port Essentials SKU.
Use this SKU when an existing 24-port Catalyst 9300 entitlement needs a 3-year DNA Advantage renewal or a corrected software line on the quote.

Required during purchase |
- Choose C9300-DNA-A-24-3Y when the confirmed requirement is Cisco DNA Advantage for a 24-port Catalyst 9300 switch with a 3-year term.
- Choose C9300-DNA-E-24-3Y only when the required subscription tier is DNA Essentials rather than Advantage.
- Choose C9300-DNA-A-24-5Y when the same 24-port Advantage license is needed for a 5-year subscription term.
- Choose C9300-DNA-A-48-3Y when the hardware or entitlement requirement is for a 48-port Catalyst 9300 switch.
Selection Guide
1. Choose C9300-DNA-A-24-3Y for 24-port DNA Advantage licensing
Select this SKU when the buyer needs Cisco DNA Advantage for a compatible 24-port Catalyst 9300 switch and the required subscription term is 3 years.
2. Choose DNA Essentials when Advantage features are not required
If the design only requires the Essentials tier, compare C9300-DNA-E-24-3Y instead of quoting the Advantage SKU.
3. Choose a different term or port-count SKU for entitlement changes
Use the 5-year or 7-year Advantage license when the buyer needs a longer term, and use a 48-port license when the covered Catalyst 9300 switch is not a 24-port model.
4. Verify account, entitlement, and switch details before purchase
Before ordering C9300-DNA-A-24-3Y, confirm the Catalyst 9300 hardware SKU, port count, existing license state, Smart Account, Smart Licensing process, renewal status, quote details, and procurement contact.
