C9300-DNA-E-48S-3Y Description
The C9300-DNA-E-48S-3Y is a Cisco DNA Essentials subscription license for 48-port 1G fiber Catalyst 9300 switches with modular uplinks. The license runs on a 3-year term under Cisco Smart Licensing, and the entitlement is stored in a Cisco Smart Account that the license requires. The tier must match the Network Essentials stack license on the host switch, and copper 48-port Catalyst 9300 models use the separate C9300-DNA-E-48-3Y series.

Key Features
The license covers the Essentials level of Cisco DNA for 48-port fiber Catalyst 9300 switches. It pairs with Network Essentials hardware, and the DNA Advantage license for the same port group is a separate item.
Cisco offers this license family in 3-year, 5-year and 7-year terms. This one runs for 3 years from the start date, and a longer term is a different license.
Fiber 48-port Catalyst 9300 models use their own license series, separate from the copper 48-port series. The host switch therefore decides which license applies.
Application Scenarios
A building rollout with 48-port 1G fiber Catalyst 9300 switches in the wiring rooms attaches this DNA Essentials subscription to each switch, with the entitlement held in the customer’s Smart Account.
An existing 48-port fiber Catalyst 9300 switch that already runs DNA Essentials is renewed for another 3 years, so the subscription term continues without a change of tier.
In a stack of 48-port fiber Catalyst 9300 members on Network Essentials, each member carries the DNA Essentials tier so the stack keeps one consistent license level.

C9300-DNA-E-48S-3Y is the DNA Essentials, 3-year license for the 48-port 1G fiber Catalyst 9300 group, while C9300-DNA-E-48-3Y has the same tier and term but covers the copper 48-port models, so the switch hardware decides between the two. When the design needs DNA Advantage, order C9300-DNA-A-48S-3Y with C9300-48S-A hardware; an installed Essentials switch can instead be upgraded later with a C9300-LIC= term (C9300-48-E-A-3, -5 or -7), because a license cannot be upgraded at the time of purchase. Projects that need a 5-year subscription on the same tier and port group move to C9300-DNA-E-48S-5Y.
Ordering Checklist
- Host model: Pair the license with a 48-port 1G fiber switch such as C9300-48S-E; copper 48-port models use C9300-DNA-E-48-3Y instead. Fiber and copper Catalyst 9300 switches use separate DNA license PID series.
- Tier: Select DNA Essentials, matching the Network Essentials stack license built into C9300-48S-E. The stack license follows the hardware suffix, and an Essentials-to-Advantage upgrade changes both together.
- Term: Order the 3-year PID C9300-DNA-E-48S-3Y; the configurator default term is 5 years. A default term left in place gives a different subscription length from the one planned.
- Smart Account: Name a Cisco Smart Account on the order, or create one at purchase if none exists. Entitlements are stored in the Smart Account, and the order cannot be placed without it.
