Cisco C9300 DNA Advantage 48-Port Fiber | Existing Essentials, Enterprise — E2N-C9300S2-B-A

Move beyond basic switch licensing with Cisco C9300 DNA Advantage for 48-port fiber deployments. This entitlement is designed for teams that already run Cisco Essentials and need a stronger software foundation for access-layer operations, policy consistency, and lifecycle control. DNA Advantage is the tier that justifies itself when network teams need more than port activation. It supports the operational discipline required in enterprise campuses, distributed offices, and fiber-connected access layers where configuration consistency, visibility, and automation matter every day. For procurement teams, the value is in aligning the right software tier to the installed platform instead of overbuying or under-specifying the license. This license fits organizations that want to keep the Catalyst environment standardized while preserving room for more advanced network management capabilities. It is a practical choice for infrastructure leaders who need predictable licensing, clearer upgrade paths, and a software model that supports long-term network operations.
