Cisco C6500 DNA Advantage with Existing IPB or IPS | Enterprise Licensing — E2N-C6500-B-A

Keep your C6500 deployment aligned to Cisco DNA Advantage capabilities while preserving existing IPB or IPS investments. This licensing option is built for organizations that need stronger policy control, operational visibility, and centralized management across campus and branch environments without forcing a hardware refresh. For infrastructure teams, the value is in consistency. DNA Advantage helps standardize how networks are configured, monitored, and governed, reducing manual effort and improving day-to-day control across large environments. It is a practical fit for enterprises that want to expand software-defined operations while maintaining continuity with installed Cisco infrastructure. Because this is tied to existing IPB or IPS, it is suited to environments already committed to Cisco architecture and looking to extend capability rather than start over. That makes it a strong procurement choice when the goal is to protect prior spend, simplify lifecycle planning, and keep the network operating under a common management model.
