Keep high-density switching environments under tighter operational control with Cisco DNA Advantage for Catalyst 9500 platforms. This 7-year license is designed for teams standardizing on policy-based automation, telemetry-driven assurance, and centralized lifecycle management across demanding campus and aggregation deployments. For infrastructure groups managing large port counts, the value is operational consistency. DNA Advantage helps reduce manual configuration drift, improve visibility into network health, and support faster response when changes or incidents affect critical services. It is a strong fit when uptime, repeatability, and governance matter more than basic connectivity alone. Compared with entry-level licensing, this tier is built for organizations that need deeper operational insight and more control over how the network is deployed and maintained over time.
