C9300L-DNA-A-24-3Y Description
The C9300L-DNA-A-24-3Y is a Cisco DNA Advantage software subscription license for 24-port Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink switches. The subscription runs for a 3-year term and carries SD-Access enablement plus bundled ThousandEyes and Spaces Extend entitlements, with software support only and a 1-hour TAC response target for severity 1 and 2 requests. The license covers C9300L hardware and not modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 switches, and Cisco expects its tier to match the Network Advantage license of the switch.

C9300L 24-port fixed-uplink hardware with matching Cisco DNA Advantage subscription requirement |
Key Features
The Advantage tier adds SD-Access, ETA, IPsec, app hosting and ERSPAN, AVC and Wireshark on top of the Essentials feature set.
The subscription covers a defined 3-year period, one of the 3, 5 and 7-year terms offered for C9300L Advantage licensing.
The license line is chosen by port count, so it applies to the 24-port C9300L models and not to 48-port switches.
Advantage subscriptions of 3, 5 and 7 years include Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics and a Cisco Spaces Extend entitlement for the full term.
The Cisco DNA subscription provides software support with a 1-hour TAC response target for severity 1 and 2 requests, while hardware replacement follows the switch warranty.
The entitlement is deposited in the customer’s Smart Account and can be organized by virtual account, with RTU mode available for deployments isolated from Cisco.
Application Scenarios
A campus network building an SD-Access fabric can run 24-port Catalyst 9300L switches as fabric edge nodes in each wiring closet, because the Advantage tier is what enables SD-Access.
A branch office with a single 24-port Catalyst 9300L can use the bundled ThousandEyes synthetics entitlement to test application paths from the access layer to the WAN edge.
An organization that aligns software spend with a three-year hardware refresh can keep its 24-port Catalyst 9300L switches on Advantage for exactly that period, avoiding the five-year configurator default.

C9300L-DNA-A-24-3Y is the DNA Advantage tier of the 24-port, 3-year C9300L subscription, while C9300L-DNA-E-24-3Y covers the same hardware and term at DNA Essentials; on a new order the tier must match the switch’s Network Advantage license, and Cisco lists no Advantage-to-Essentials downgrade PID. Term is the next difference: C9300L-DNA-A-24-5Y keeps the Advantage tier for 5 years, which is the configurator default, with 3 and 7 years also listed. Fixed-uplink C9300L switches take this PID family, so a modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 switch needs C9300-DNA-A-24-3Y instead. Advantage terms also include ThousandEyes and Spaces Extend entitlements by default.
Ordering Checklist
- Subscription tier: Pair C9300L-DNA-A-24-3Y with a -A switch such as C9300L-24T-4X-A and C9300L-24P-4G-A. A new order needs the subscription tier to match the switch’s Network Advantage license.
- Port-count line: Use the 24-port C9300L-DNA line; 48-port switches take C9300L-DNA-A-48. The C9300L license PID is chosen by port count.
- Term: Select the 3-year term explicitly, since the configurator default is 5 years. A line left on the default carries a 5-year term instead of C9300L-DNA-A-24-3Y.
- Smart Account: Name the Smart Account that will hold the entitlement, with a virtual account if sites are split. A Smart Account is required at order, and the license is deposited there.
