Cisco C9500-DNX-A-24Q-3Y 24-Port 40G Fiber 3-Year License | Enterprise — C9500-DNX-A-24Q-3Y

Keep a Catalyst 9500 core deployment under a defined software term with this 3-year advanced subscription. Built for environments centered on 24-port 40G fiber connectivity, it gives infrastructure teams a clear licensing path for maintaining operational continuity without piecing together short-term renewals. This subscription fits organizations that want to align network software coverage with refresh cycles, budget windows, and support planning. For enterprise switching teams, that matters: it reduces renewal churn, simplifies asset tracking, and helps preserve consistency across a high-value core platform. The advanced tier is positioned for teams that need more than basic entitlement management. It supports a more deliberate operating model for critical switching infrastructure, where feature access, lifecycle planning, and procurement discipline all need to stay aligned. That makes it a strong fit for data center cores, campus aggregation layers, and other environments where downtime or licensing gaps are not acceptable. If your Cisco C9500 deployment is part of a larger standardized network architecture, this 3-year subscription helps keep the platform on a predictable commercial footing while preserving the value of the hardware investment.
