Cisco IE 4000 DNA Advantage 12-Port 5-Year License | Industrial Ethernet — IE4000-DNA-A-L-5Y

Maintain tighter control over industrial access switching with a 5-year Cisco DNA Advantage term license for the IE 4000 12-port platform. Built for teams that need more than basic connectivity, this license adds the software capabilities used to standardize configuration, improve operational visibility, and reduce manual touchpoints across distributed edge deployments. For infrastructure groups managing plants, substations, rail, or other harsh-edge environments, the value is in consistency. A term license helps align the switch with a defined software lifecycle, making it easier to plan renewals and keep feature access tied to the network strategy. Cisco DNA Advantage is typically chosen when the environment demands stronger policy control and more advanced management than entry-level licensing provides. This license is intended for the IE 4000 family with 12 ports and is suited to organizations that want to protect uptime, simplify administration, and support repeatable deployment standards across industrial sites. It is a practical fit when the cost of drift, downtime, or inconsistent configuration is higher than the cost of licensing.
