Cisco C9500-DNX-A-16X-7Y 16-Port 10G Fiber 7-Year License | Enterprise — C9500-DNX-A-16X-7Y

Keep Catalyst 9500 infrastructure under consistent software coverage with a 7-year Cisco DNA Advantage subscription for 16-port 10G fiber configurations. This license is designed for environments that need long planning horizons, predictable renewal cycles, and access to the advanced capabilities associated with Cisco DNA Advantage on the C9500 platform. For teams standardizing on the Catalyst 9500 family, this subscription helps preserve operational continuity across campus core and aggregation roles. It supports a cleaner procurement model than short-term renewals, reducing the churn of annual licensing decisions while aligning software coverage to the hardware lifecycle. The 16-port 10G fiber scope makes this subscription relevant to high-throughput uplink and aggregation designs where optical connectivity and long service life matter. It is a practical fit for organizations that want to keep a known platform in service without requalifying the network stack every year. Because this is a renewal-oriented software subscription, it is best suited to existing Cisco DNA Advantage customers who need to extend coverage on the specified C9500 platform. That makes it a strong choice for infrastructure teams protecting prior investment while maintaining control over support and feature continuity.
