Key Features
C9300L-DNA-E-48-3Y provides the matching Cisco DNA Essentials subscription SKU for 48-port Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink switch purchase or renewal.
The 3-year term supports standard renewal planning when the buyer does not want to extend the Essentials subscription to a 5-year term.
This SKU separates 48-port C9300L software coverage from 24-port C9300L license lines, reducing quote errors in larger access switch batches.
Smart Account and entitlement ownership should be validated before purchase so the license is deposited in the correct customer or partner account.
When the design does not require Advantage, this Essentials SKU keeps the bill of materials aligned to the approved license tier instead of overbuilding the software line.
The C9300L prefix matters because this license is for fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L models, not modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 switches.
Application Scenarios
Use C9300L-DNA-E-48-3Y when a quote includes 48-port Catalyst 9300L access switches and the software requirement is DNA Essentials for 3 years.
Choose this SKU when a buyer is renewing or correcting entitlements for existing 48-port C9300L switches that should remain on the Essentials tier.
Use C9300L-DNA-E-48-3Y when multiple 48-port C9300L switches are being quoted and the buyer wants consistent SKU-level license handling.

- Choose C9300L-DNA-E-48-3Y when the requirement is 48-port Catalyst 9300L DNA Essentials coverage for 3 years.
- Choose C9300L-DNA-A-48-3Y when the same hardware and term require the Advantage tier.
- Choose C9300L-DNA-E-48-5Y when Essentials is correct but the buyer wants a 5-year term.
- Choose C9300L-DNA-E-24-3Y when the switch order uses 24-port C9300L hardware instead of 48-port hardware.
Selection Guide
1. Choose this SKU for 48-port Essentials orders
Select C9300L-DNA-E-48-3Y when the hardware family is Catalyst 9300L, the switch count is based on 48-port models, and the approved tier is DNA Essentials.
2. Choose Advantage if the feature requirement changes
If engineering confirms a DNA Advantage requirement, quote the matching C9300L-DNA-A-48 term SKU rather than modifying this Essentials line.
3. Choose a longer term when procurement wants co-terming
If the customer wants fewer renewal points or needs co-terming with a longer contract, verify the 5-year or 7-year C9300L DNA Essentials option.
4. Verify ownership before ordering
Before purchase, confirm Smart Account destination, existing entitlement status, billing entity, renewal timing, and whether the license is attached to new hardware or an existing installed base.
