C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y licenses one Catalyst 9200 switch with 24 ports for 5 years. The subscription supplies DNA Essentials as a term add-on above Network Essentials and uses Catalyst Center for automation workflows. At expiry, the switch can continue with base license capabilities after the add-on is deactivated and the switch is reloaded. This Cisco DNA Essentials license fits C9200-24T-E, C9200-24P-E and C9200-24PXG-E when the order and installed license level stay at Network Essentials. The Catalyst 9200 DNA license adds foundational automation, management, visibility and assurance capabilities, which Network Essentials alone does not carry. A stack consumes one matching subscription for each 24-port member. The buyer matches port count before the PO.

DNA Essentials provides foundational automation, management, visibility and assurance capabilities through Catalyst Center. Network Essentials is the prerequisite tier on the 24-port switch, and the software term license must align with the hardware suffix at order. C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y uses Smart Licensing Using Policy on IOS XE 17.3.2a or later, while Catalyst 9200 hardware runs IOS XE 16.9.2 or later. The buyer provides a Smart Account and Virtual Account, then checks entitlement and consumption with show license summary. A RUM report is due within 90 days when add-on licenses are used under the default policy. The license is not node-locked and has portability within the same series of Catalyst 9000 hardware. A stack reports one DNA Essentials subscription count for each member. Software Support Service provides TAC support and software updates for the subscription stack.
C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y is sold as New, a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition. The PO carries the PID, quantity, term, Smart Account and Virtual Account, and delivery is electronic within 1 business day of the PO. Order the license with the switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for a renewal. The license is not returnable once delivered; order errors are corrected before delivery and terms apply. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, co-termination and multi-year quotes in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

A new 24-port Catalyst 9200 switch order using C9200-24T-E, C9200-24P-E or C9200-24PXG-E needs C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y aligned to Network Essentials. The buyer provides the Smart Account, Virtual Account, term and switch PID before the PO. Port count must match each unit.
An expiring DNA Essentials subscription on a 24-port Catalyst 9200 needs a renewal before the end of term. The buyer orders against the expiring subscription, keeps the 24-port scope, and checks show license summary for the installed Network Essentials and DNA Essentials levels.
A Catalyst 9200 stack being standardized on Network Essentials consumes one DNA Essentials subscription for each member. Every 24-port member needs the same port class and term. The buyer provides the stack member count, Smart Account and Virtual Account before the PO.
48-port Catalyst 9200 switches
A 24-port license leaves the port count mismatched. Use C9200-DNA-E-48-5Y for 48-port Catalyst 9200 Network Essentials switches for the same 5-year term.
Network Advantage switch orders
Network Advantage hardware needs a matching DNA Advantage subscription. Use C9200-DNA-A-24-5Y for 24-port Catalyst 9200 Network Advantage switches.
Catalyst 9200L switches
Catalyst 9200L is a different platform with its own license family. Use C9200L-DNA-E-24-5Y for 24-port Catalyst 9200L Network Essentials switches.
Catalyst 9200CX switches
Catalyst 9200CX uses 8-port or 12-port DNA Essentials codes. Use C9200CX-DNAE-8-5Y or C9200CX-DNAE-12-5Y to match the compact switch.

C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y is the C9200 Cisco DNA Essentials, 24-port, 5-year term license. C9200 is the Catalyst 9200 platform, DNA is the Cisco Digital Network Architecture subscription, E is Essentials, 24 is the port count and 5Y is the 5-year term.
C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y fits C9200-24T-E, C9200-24P-E and C9200-24PXG-E with 24 ports. C9200 48-port Network Essentials models use C9200-DNA-E-48-5Y. C9200 24-port Network Advantage models use C9200-DNA-A-24-5Y. C9200L 24-port Network Essentials models use C9200L-DNA-E-24-5Y.
A Catalyst 9200 switch needs the Network Essentials or Network Advantage perpetual tier from the hardware suffix and a matching DNA or Cisco Catalyst subscription. C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y is the 5-year DNA Essentials add-on for 24-port Network Essentials C9200 hardware. Network Advantage hardware uses DNA Advantage.
DNA Essentials on Catalyst 9200 includes foundational automation, management, visibility and assurance capabilities. DNA Advantage adds advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation and application-visibility capabilities. Network Essentials remains the perpetual base under the DNA Essentials subscription. Catalyst Center is the automation platform for the subscription.
C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y needs Network Essentials on the switch. The subscription tier must correspond with the Network Essentials license, so a Network Advantage switch needs the DNA Advantage code for the same port count and term. Before the PO, confirm the port count and installed tier with show license summary.
C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y includes Software Support Service besides the DNA Essentials features. Software Support Service carries TAC support and software updates for the subscription stack. Hardware replacement uses the Catalyst warranty program or a separate Smart Net Total Care contract for RMA coverage.
C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y runs for 5 years. At expiry, the buyer can renew the add-on license to keep DNA Essentials capabilities, or deactivate the add-on license and reload the switch so the Catalyst 9200 continues with base license capabilities. Forwarding continues under the perpetual base.
C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y is delivered electronically to the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account. The PO carries the PID, quantity, term and delivery target. Activation uses Smart Licensing Using Policy, and the buyer verifies consumption with show license summary on the switch after entitlement deposit.
C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y renews as a term subscription before expiry. Order the renewal against the expiring subscription and keep the 24-port count aligned to each Catalyst 9200 member. The Cisco Smart Software Manager portal can send expiry alerts for add-on licenses.
C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y is counted per switch member in a Catalyst 9200 stack. A three-member stack using 24-port Network Essentials hardware consumes three DNA Essentials subscription counts. Mixed Network Essentials and Network Advantage members need aligned license levels before stacking. Check show license summary.
C9200-DNA-A-24-5Y adds advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation and application-visibility capabilities. C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y stays at DNA Essentials for foundational automation, management, visibility and assurance on 24-port Catalyst 9200 Network Essentials switches. Use Advantage when the hardware carries Network Advantage.
C9200-DNA-E-24-7Y carries two more years of the same DNA Essentials entitlement. C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y fits the same 24-port Catalyst 9200 Network Essentials hardware for a 5-year term. Use the term that matches the renewal plan and budget cycle.
C9200-DNX-E-24-5Y carries Cisco Catalyst Essentials with base product-level support for hardware, software and OS. C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y carries DNA Essentials with Software Support Service. Both use a 5-year term for 24-port Catalyst 9200 Essentials hardware. Feature tier levels remain the same.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for C9200-DNA-E-24-5Y.
