Cisco DNA Essentials On-Prem, Up to 1 Gbps | Enterprise Licensing — CDMSLA-RP-E-1G

Maintain policy control where your network already lives with Cisco DNA Essentials on-prem licensing for up to 1 Gbps. This entitlement is built for organizations that want centralized network management without relying on a cloud-hosted control plane. It supports the operational discipline expected in enterprise environments, where access policy, segmentation, and configuration consistency must stay aligned across sites. For infrastructure teams, the value is in predictability. On-prem deployment keeps management under direct administrative control, which can simplify governance for regulated environments, segmented networks, and sites with strict data handling requirements. The Essentials tier is positioned for organizations that need core DNA capabilities without paying for higher-tier feature sets they may not use. At this level, Cisco DNA Essentials helps standardize how networks are managed and maintained, reducing manual drift and improving day-to-day control. The up to 1 Gbps designation makes it suitable for smaller to mid-scale deployments or defined network segments where performance requirements are clear and bounded. It is a practical choice when the priority is dependable policy enforcement and operational consistency rather than broad feature expansion.
