Key Features
C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y provides a 5-year Cisco DNA Advantage term for 48-port Catalyst 9300L deployments, reducing renewal frequency compared with the 3-year SKU.
The SKU applies to 48-port Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink models, so it belongs on C9300L access switch orders rather than modular-uplink C9300 orders.
Select this SKU only when the design requires DNA Advantage rather than DNA Essentials; the tier should be confirmed by the network team before procurement.
The 5-year term can align the license period with a longer hardware refresh cycle, managed-service contract, or customer framework agreement.
Because Cisco Catalyst 9300L DNA licenses are handled through Smart Licensing, buyers should confirm Smart Account ownership before the order is submitted.
The full C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y SKU separates 48-port C9300L Advantage coverage from 24-port, Essentials, and 3-year alternatives during quote review.
Application Scenarios
Use C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y when the purchase order covers 48-port Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink switches and the software line must stay on DNA Advantage for 5 years.
Choose this SKU when the customer’s procurement cycle, service contract, or budget approval favors a 5-year license term instead of annual or 3-year renewal handling.
Use C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y when multiple 48-port Catalyst 9300L switches need the same Advantage tier and term for easier entitlement tracking.

- Choose C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y when the buyer needs 48-port C9300L DNA Advantage coverage for a 5-year term.
- Choose C9300L-DNA-A-48-3Y when the same tier and port count only needs a 3-year subscription.
- Choose C9300L-DNA-E-48-5Y when the same 48-port and 5-year scope is required but the tier is Essentials.
- Choose C9300L-DNA-A-24-5Y when the hardware order is 24-port C9300L rather than 48-port C9300L.
Selection Guide
1. Choose this SKU for longer 48-port Advantage coverage
Select C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y when the order is for 48-port Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink hardware and the customer wants a 5-year DNA Advantage entitlement.
2. Choose the 3-year SKU when renewal flexibility matters
If the customer prefers a shorter commitment or expects the environment to change sooner, quote the 3-year C9300L-DNA-A-48 option instead.
3. Choose Essentials only when the design supports it
Do not downgrade to DNA Essentials unless the network design, license policy, and feature requirements have been checked by the buyer’s engineering team.
4. Verify Smart Account and entitlement destination
For C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y, confirm the Smart Account, virtual account, buyer entity, renewal date expectations, and whether the license is part of a new hardware order or a standalone renewal.
