Cisco C9300-24-E-A-5 DNA Advantage Upgrade License | 5-Year — C9300-24-E-A-5

Upgrade 24-port Cisco Catalyst 9300 switches from Network and Digital Network Architecture Essentials to Network and Digital Network Architecture Advantage with a 5-year subscription license. This is the licensing step that unlocks a more capable operational model for teams standardizing campus switching around policy, visibility, and lifecycle control. For infrastructure teams, the value is not just feature access. It is the ability to run a more consistent network operating model across the switch estate, with licensing aligned to a defined term and a specific hardware footprint: one 24-port switch. DNA Advantage is typically chosen when Essentials no longer covers the operational demands of larger or more controlled environments. It supports organizations that need more than basic switching features and want a licensing tier that better matches enterprise campus requirements over time. Because this is a 5-year upgrade license, it also simplifies planning. Procurement can align the license term with refresh cycles, while operations gain a clearer path for maintaining the same capability set across the deployment window.
