Key Features
C9300L-DNA-E-24-3Y provides the Cisco DNA Essentials subscription tier for compatible 24-port Catalyst 9300L switches, keeping the order aligned with an Essentials bill of materials.
The 3-year term gives the buyer a defined subscription period without committing to the longer 5-year or 7-year Essentials options at the first purchase.
This SKU is tied to 24-port Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink models, so it should be checked against the exact hardware bill of materials before procurement approval.
The license should be assigned through the correct Cisco Smart Account path, which makes account ownership and entitlement destination part of the buying checklist.
For deployments scoped to DNA Essentials, this SKU keeps procurement from quoting DNA Advantage unless engineering has approved the higher tier.
C9300L-DNA-E-24-3Y identifies the fixed-uplink C9300L license line, which matters when a bill of materials includes both C9300L and standard C9300 switch families.
Application Scenarios
Use C9300L-DNA-E-24-3Y when the hardware order is a 24-port Catalyst 9300L switch and the approved license tier is DNA Essentials for a 3-year term.
Choose this SKU when procurement has confirmed DNA Essentials for a 24-port C9300L switch and does not have an approved requirement for DNA Advantage.
Use C9300L-DNA-E-24-3Y when reviewing a quote that may have mixed Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300 license part numbers, especially before final purchase approval.

- Choose C9300L-DNA-E-24-3Y when the order needs 24-port C9300L DNA Essentials coverage for 3 years.
- Choose C9300L-DNA-A-24-3Y when the same hardware and term require the Advantage tier.
- Choose C9300L-DNA-E-24-5Y when the same Essentials tier should run for a 5-year term.
- Choose C9300-DNA-E-24-3Y only when the hardware is a Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switch rather than a C9300L fixed-uplink model.
Selection Guide
1. Choose this SKU for 24-port Essentials coverage
Select C9300L-DNA-E-24-3Y when the hardware is a 24-port Catalyst 9300L and the buyer has confirmed DNA Essentials as the required tier.
2. Choose Advantage if the deployment requires higher-tier capability
If the network design calls for DNA Advantage, do not use this Essentials SKU; quote the matching C9300L-DNA-A-24 term license instead.
3. Choose a longer term for fewer renewal events
If procurement wants to reduce renewal handling, verify whether the 5-year or 7-year Essentials option is more appropriate.
4. Confirm license account handling
Before ordering, check Smart Account ownership, virtual account destination, new purchase or renewal status, and whether the license should be tied to a specific C9300L hardware order.
