Cisco C9600 DNA Advantage License | Catalyst 9600, Enterprise — E2N-C96001-G-A

Cisco DNA Advantage for Catalyst 9600 is built for teams that run the network core as a controlled platform, not a collection of isolated devices. This new purchase term license provides the entitlement for advanced automation, assurance, and policy-based operations on supported Catalyst 9600 line card deployments. For infrastructure leaders, the value is operational: fewer manual changes, faster issue identification, and more consistent policy enforcement across critical switching layers. That matters in core and aggregation environments where service impact is measured in minutes, not hours. DNA Advantage helps align the platform with Cisco’s intent-based networking model, giving enterprise teams the software foundation needed to manage change with more confidence. Because this is a new purchase license, it is suited to fresh Catalyst 9600 rollouts and expansion projects where licensing needs to be cleanly attached to the deployment from day one. It is a practical choice when the hardware investment must be matched with the software controls required to run a high-value network core.
