Cisco C3850 DNA Advantage 48-Port 3-Year License | Enterprise Network — C3850-DNA-A-48-3Y

Maintain control over a 48-port Catalyst 3850 deployment with Cisco DNA Advantage term licensing for three years. This license is built for organizations that need more than basic switch operation: centralized policy, automation, and deeper visibility across the access layer. It helps extend the value of existing hardware while supporting more consistent network operations at scale. For infrastructure teams, the appeal is straightforward. Instead of treating the switch as a static device, DNA Advantage adds the software layer needed to manage change with less manual effort and more operational consistency. That matters when access ports support business-critical users, endpoints, and applications that cannot tolerate avoidable configuration drift. This 3-year term is a practical fit for refresh planning, budget control, and standardized enterprise rollouts. It gives procurement a defined licensing horizon while giving network teams the capabilities they need to keep the environment aligned with current operational requirements. For organizations comparing license tiers, DNA Advantage is the stronger choice when visibility, policy control, and automation matter enough to justify the premium.
