Cisco C9500 Network Advantage 24-Port License | Enterprise Switching — C9500-NW-A-24

Extend Cisco Catalyst 9500 switching with Network Advantage licensing for 24 ports, giving infrastructure teams the feature set needed for high-performance campus deployments. This license is built for environments that depend on advanced routing, policy control, and segmentation across access and aggregation layers. For organizations standardizing on Catalyst 9500, Network Advantage helps align switch capability with enterprise network design requirements. It supports the operational model many teams need when moving beyond basic switching into more controlled, scalable campus architectures. That makes it a strong fit for networks where uptime, traffic separation, and predictable policy enforcement matter. Because this is a 24-port license, it is suited to targeted deployments where feature access must match the exact switch footprint. It gives procurement and architecture teams a clear path to enable the right software tier without overbuying capacity or settling for a lower feature set that limits future design choices.
