C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y Description
The C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y is a Cisco DNA Advantage software subscription license for 48-port Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink switches. The subscription runs for a 5-year term, the default in Cisco Commerce Workspace, and carries SD-Access enablement plus bundled ThousandEyes and Spaces Extend entitlements.

Key Features
The Advantage tier adds SD-Access, ETA, IPsec, app hosting and ERSPAN, AVC and Wireshark on top of the Essentials feature set.
A 5-year term is the longest-running default option in Cisco Commerce Workspace, with 3 and 7-year terms also offered.
The license line is chosen by port count, so it applies to the 48-port C9300L models and not to 24-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 university or office campus can deploy 48-port Catalyst 9300L switches as SD-Access fabric edge nodes in dense wiring closets, since the Advantage tier enables SD-Access.
A school district or hospital that keeps access switches in service for about five years can cover the whole period with one 48-port Advantage subscription.
A multi-building site can use the bundled ThousandEyes entitlement on its 48-port Catalyst 9300L access switches to test application reachability from each building.

C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y is the 48-port, 5-year DNA Advantage subscription for C9300L switches, and C9300L-DNA-E-48-5Y covers the same port count 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. For a shorter commitment, C9300L-DNA-A-48-3Y keeps 48-port Advantage on a 3-year term, while 5 years is the configurator default and 7 years is also listed. A 24-port C9300L switch needs C9300L-DNA-A-24-5Y instead, because the license line is chosen by port count. Advantage terms also include ThousandEyes and Spaces Extend entitlements by default.
Ordering Checklist
- Subscription tier: Pair C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y with a -A switch such as C9300L-48T-4X-A and C9300L-48P-4X-A. A new order needs the subscription tier to match the switch’s Network Advantage license.
- Port-count line: Use the 48-port C9300L-DNA line; 24-port switches take C9300L-DNA-A-24. The C9300L license PID is chosen by port count.
- Term: Keep the 5-year term, which is the configurator default; 3 or 7 years changes the PID. Choosing another term in the configurator changes the line away from C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y.
- 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.
