Cisco DNAC1 ESS. TERM C3850 24P 1Y | Cisco DNA, 24-Port, Enterprise — C38501-DNAC1E-1Y

Extend Cisco DNA Essentials coverage for Catalyst 3850 24-port environments with a 1-year term built for disciplined network operations. This licensing option is intended for organizations that want a clear software entitlement tied to the switch platform, helping simplify procurement, renewal planning, and lifecycle alignment across access-layer deployments. For infrastructure teams, the value is in keeping the network stack organized around a defined support window rather than ad hoc renewals. Cisco DNA Essentials is commonly selected when the goal is to maintain consistent software coverage for the installed hardware base and preserve a clean path for operational planning. That matters in environments where access switching is part of a larger standardized architecture and downtime, drift, or licensing gaps create unnecessary risk. This term license is a practical fit for enterprises that prefer to match software spend to a specific refresh cycle. It gives procurement and technical teams a straightforward way to cover the Catalyst 3850 platform without overcommitting to longer horizons. The result is tighter control over entitlement management and a more predictable ownerJTFp model for a critical switching layer.
