Cisco DNA Advantage C2960X 48P SMS-K | Enterprise Licensing, Cisco — C2960X-DA-48-SMSK

Give Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48-port deployments a more disciplined operating model with DNA Advantage licensing. This subscription is designed for organizations that want to move beyond basic switch administration and toward centralized policy control, automation, and assurance across access-layer infrastructure. For network teams, the benefit is operational consistency. DNA Advantage helps standardize how switches are managed, monitored, and maintained, which matters when the access layer supports thousands of users, endpoints, and business-critical applications. It also gives procurement teams a licensing structure that aligns with ongoing platform use rather than one-time ownerJTFp. Compared with entry-level licensing, Advantage is positioned for environments where visibility, control, and repeatable operations justify the investment. It is a strong fit when the network must stay predictable under load, when configuration drift is costly, and when IT wants a clearer path to managing Cisco Catalyst 2960-X assets over time.
