Cisco C3850 DNA Essentials 48-Port 7-Year License | Enterprise Renewal — C3850-DNA-E-48-7Y

Maintain operational control across your Catalyst 3850 access layer with Cisco DNA Essentials for 48-port deployments. This 7-year term license is built for organizations that want to preserve the value of existing switching infrastructure while standardizing network operations over a longer planning horizon. Cisco DNA Essentials provides the licensing foundation for policy-driven management and day-to-day network oversight on supported Catalyst platforms. For infrastructure teams, the value is not just feature access — it is the ability to keep a mature switching environment aligned with current operational requirements without forcing a hardware refresh cycle. A 7-year term helps procurement and architecture teams plan around budget cycles, lifecycle milestones, and support strategy with fewer short-term renewals to manage. For environments where access switching remains stable but governance expectations continue to rise, this license supports a more disciplined operating model. Choose this license when you need to extend the useful life of a 48-port Catalyst 3850 deployment and keep network operations aligned with enterprise standards.
