Cisco C3850 DNA Essentials 24-Port 5-Year License | Enterprise — C3850-DNA-E-24-5Y

Cisco DNA Essentials for the Catalyst 3850 gives you a 5-year term license designed to keep a 24-port switch aligned with modern network operations practices. It is a practical choice for teams that want to standardize management, preserve budget predictability, and avoid short-term licensing churn across campus infrastructure. This license is built for environments where the switch is part of a broader operational framework, not an isolated asset. By tying entitlement to a defined 24-port platform and a fixed term, it supports cleaner procurement, clearer renewal planning, and more disciplined lifecycle management. That matters when the network is expected to stay stable, support business-critical traffic, and remain easy to govern over time. For enterprise buyers, the appeal is in the fit: a specific Cisco platform, a specific port profile, and a specific 5-year horizon. That precision helps justify the investment and reduces the friction that comes with mismatched or overextended licensing.
