Cisco C6800-DNA-E-3Y DNA Essentials 3-Year Term | Enterprise Licensing — C6800-DNA-E-3Y

Keep Catalyst 6000 and 6800 switching environments aligned to policy, not manual effort. Cisco DNA Essentials provides a 3-year term license for organizations that need structured network management across supported C6000/C6800 platforms. It is built for teams that want clearer operational control, better visibility into the network, and a cleaner path for day-to-day administration. This license fits environments where consistency matters more than feature sprawl. Instead of piecing together separate tools and ad hoc processes, DNA Essentials helps establish a defined operational model for supported switches. That makes it easier to standardize configuration, maintain oversight, and support ongoing network operations with fewer surprises. For infrastructure teams, the value is in reducing friction across the lifecycle of the platform. A term license also gives procurement a predictable renewal window, which helps align software spend with refresh planning and support strategy. For organizations running critical switching infrastructure, that predictability matters. Choose this license when you need a Cisco-backed software entitlement for C6000/C6800 environments and want a clear, time-bound path for network operations management.
