C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y licenses one Catalyst 9200 switch with 48 ports for 5 years. It is a Catalyst Advantage subscription license for modular Catalyst 9200 access switches that carry Network Advantage. The Cisco Catalyst Advantage license adds advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation and application visibility. Catalyst 9200 license buyers use it on C9200-48T-A, C9200-48P-A, C9200-48PL-A, C9200-48PB-A and C9200-48PXG-A hardware. The 5-year, 48-port subscription is managed through Catalyst Center. It carries base product-level support for hardware, software and OS, which C9200-DNX-E-48-5Y also carries but without the Advantage feature set.

Features enabled by Advantage on Catalyst 9200 are advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation and application visibility. Network Advantage must already be the installed Network Stack tier, and the subscription tier must align with the hardware suffix. C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y uses Smart Licensing Using Policy on IOS XE 17.3.2a and later; usage is reported with RUM reports, and show license summary verifies the installed tier. Catalyst Center deployment is not required just to use the package. At expiry, the switch can renew the add-on license, or the add-on license can be deactivated and the switch reloaded to continue with base license capabilities. Smart Licenses are transferable between the same types of devices. C9200 stacks support up to 8 members with the same license level, so every member needs its own matching port count and tier.
New condition means a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition. The PO carries the PID, quantity, term and the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account, and electronic delivery lands in that account within 1 business day of the PO. Order C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y with the switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for a renewal; before the PO, confirm the port count and installed tier with show license summary. Delivered licenses are not returnable, and order errors are corrected before delivery; terms apply. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, co-termination and multi-year quotes, UK, EU, US and MEA.

A new 48-port Catalyst 9200 switch order with an -A hardware suffix needs a matching Advantage subscription term. Specify the switch PID, this 5-year 48-port license, the quantity and the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account before the PO.
An expiring Catalyst Advantage subscription needs renewal before the term ends to keep the add-on capabilities in use. Order against the expiring subscription, keep the same 48-port scope and confirm Network Advantage on the switch with show license summary before the PO.
A stacked access closet using C9200 modular switches needs the same license level across stack members. Match each 48-port member to an Advantage subscription, separate 24-port members by their own PID, and verify the installed tier on every switch before the PO.
24-port Catalyst 9200 switches
A 24-port modular C9200 switch needs the 24-port Advantage subscription. Use C9200-DNX-A-24-5Y for a 5-year Catalyst Advantage term on 24-port C9200 hardware.
48-port Catalyst 9200L switches
A 48-port C9200L switch is a separate platform from modular C9200. Use C9200L-DNX-A-48-5Y for a 5-year Catalyst Advantage term on C9200L hardware.
Catalyst 9200CX compact switches
A C9200CX compact switch uses compact-switch PIDs by access-port count. Use C9200CX-DNXA-12-5Y for 12-port models and C9200CX-DNXA-8-5Y for 8-port models.
Network Essentials switch orders
A 48-port C9200 switch ordered with Network Essentials aligns to C9200-DNX-E-48-5Y. A Catalyst Advantage subscription needs Network Advantage on the switch.

C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y is the C9200 Cisco Catalyst Advantage, 48-port, 5-year term license. C9200 is the modular Catalyst 9200 platform, DNX is Cisco Catalyst software subscription, A is Advantage, 48 is the port count, and 5Y is the term.
C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y fits 48-port modular Catalyst 9200 switches with Network Advantage: C9200-48T-A, C9200-48P-A, C9200-48PL-A, C9200-48PB-A and C9200-48PXG-A. A 24-port C9200 switch takes C9200-DNX-A-24-5Y, and a 48-port C9200L switch takes C9200L-DNX-A-48-5Y.
A Catalyst 9200 switch needs a Network Stack perpetual license and a Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA software subscription at the same tier. A 48-port -A modular switch ships with Network Advantage and can take this 5-year Catalyst Advantage subscription.
Catalyst Advantage on Catalyst 9200 adds advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation and application visibility. Catalyst Essentials provides foundational automation, management, visibility and assurance, while Advantage adds the advanced capabilities used for larger policy and assurance deployments.
C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y needs Network Advantage on the switch. The subscription tier must align with the Network Stack tier on new hardware, and a Network Essentials switch order belongs on an Essentials subscription unless the switch tier is upgraded.
C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y includes base product-level support for hardware, software and OS during the subscription term. Hardware replacements are accessed through the Catalyst warranty program, and separate Smart Net Total Care support can cover hardware service levels beyond that warranty path.
C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y runs for 5 years. At expiry, the add-on license can be renewed to keep the Catalyst Advantage capabilities in use, or it can be deactivated and the switch reloaded so the switch continues with base license capabilities.
C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y is delivered electronically to the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account. The order needs the PID, quantity, term and delivery target. IOS XE 17.3.2a and later use Smart Licensing Using Policy, and show license summary verifies the installed tier.
C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y is renewable as a subscription. Auto Renewal is OFF for the Catalyst software subscription option, so renewal is an ordered action before expiry. The renewal order should match the 48-port count, Catalyst Advantage tier and the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account.
A Catalyst 9200 stack can contain up to 8 C9200 members with the same license level. The license is a 48-port switch subscription, so each stack member needs a matching subscription for its own port count and installed Network Stack tier.
C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y adds advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation and application visibility that the Essentials tier lacks. C9200-DNX-E-48-5Y fits 48-port C9200 switches with Network Essentials when foundational automation, management, visibility and assurance are enough.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y.
ORM Systems supplies C9200-DNX-A-48-5Y new only as a genuine Cisco license. Delivery is electronic within 1 business day of the PO to the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account. The PO must carry the PID, quantity, term and delivery target, and delivered licenses are not returnable.
