Cisco Network Advantage License for IE9300 Series | Layer 3, Enterprise — IE9300-NW-A=

Add the routing and control features needed to run IE9300 switches in demanding industrial environments. Cisco Network Advantage licensing enables advanced Layer 3 functionality for networks that must segment traffic, support more complex topologies, and maintain predictable performance across plant floors, substations, transportation systems, and distributed facilities. This license is built for teams that have outgrown basic switching. It gives infrastructure leaders the feature set required to design cleaner network boundaries, improve traffic handling, and support more resilient operations without replacing the underlying hardware. For organizations standardizing on Cisco industrial switching, Network Advantage helps align the platform with enterprise network policies while preserving the rugged deployment profile of the IE9300 Series. Because this is a software license, it is a practical way to expand capability without adding rack space, power draw, or new hardware dependencies. That makes it a strong fit for environments where uptime, manageability, and long-term network consistency matter more than lowest-cost entry pricing.
