Cisco DNAC1 Advantage Term C3850 48P Fiber 1Y | DNA Center, Enterprise — C38505-DNAC1A-1Y

Keep Catalyst 3850 fiber access environments aligned to Cisco DNA Advantage capabilities with a 1-year term license built for operational control. This licensing model is suited for infrastructure teams that want to extend software-defined network operations on an existing switch platform while preserving budget flexibility. Cisco DNA Advantage is typically chosen when organizations need stronger policy, telemetry, and automation than basic network management can provide. For 48-port fiber deployments, the term structure helps match licensing cost to refresh cycles, pilot programs, or staged rollouts. That makes it a practical fit for enterprises that want to maintain feature access without locking into a longer commitment than the hardware lifecycle justifies. Use it to support consistent network operations across access layers, improve visibility into device behavior, and keep management aligned with Cisco’s intent-based networking approach. For teams responsible for uptime, change control, and operational consistency, this license helps preserve the capabilities that justify the Catalyst 3850 platform in the first place.
