Preserve the value of your Catalyst 3850 investment with a 1-year Cisco DNA Advantage renewal. Built for organizations that need more than basic switching management, this license tier supports policy-driven operations, deeper visibility, and automation-oriented workflows that help reduce manual effort across campus networks. For teams running production access layers, the renewal keeps advanced software entitlements aligned with the installed base, helping avoid gaps in coverage and preserving access to the capabilities that matter most in day-to-day operations. It is a practical choice when the network is stable, the hardware remains in service, and the priority is to maintain control without introducing a platform change. Compared with lower-tier licensing, DNA Advantage is positioned for environments that depend on stronger assurance and more advanced operational tooling. That makes it well suited for enterprises that want to sustain existing infrastructure while keeping management overhead in check and protecting the operational model already built around Catalyst 3850.
