C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y licenses one Catalyst 9200 switch with 48 ports for 3 years. It is a Cisco Catalyst Essentials subscription for a Network Essentials 48-port C9200 switch. The switch keeps Network Essentials forwarding when the subscription ends, while subscription support and innovation access stop. This Catalyst 9200 license fits C9200-48T-E, C9200-48P-E, C9200-48PL-E and C9200-48PXG-E. It needs Network Essentials on the switch, a Cisco Smart Account and Virtual Account, and a term choice aligned with the hardware tier. The 3-year, 48-port subscription follows the same Essentials tier as the hardware. The Cisco Catalyst Essentials license provides Catalyst Center automation and monitoring, plus Meraki Dashboard cloud monitoring. It carries base product-level support for hardware, software and OS, which Cisco DNA Essentials does not.

Catalyst Essentials enables base automation, monitoring and management, with Network Plug and Play, Software Image Management, Easy QoS configuration and management, and cloud monitoring for Catalyst. C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y needs Network Essentials because the software term license must align with the -E hardware suffix. The 3-year term uses Prepaid Term billing, and Auto Renewal is OFF. At expiry the switch continues to run Network Stack features; support and subscription stack capabilities need renewal. Smart Licensing Using Policy is supported from IOS XE 17.3.2a, with RUM reporting due within 90 days for unenforced subscription use. Activation uses the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account in Cisco License Central. Before the PO, confirm the port count and the installed tier with show license summary. Smart Licenses are portable within the same series of Catalyst 9000 hardware.
C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y is new only as a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition. The PO carries the PID, quantity, term, Smart Account and Virtual Account, and delivery arrives electronically within 1 business day of the PO. Order the license with the 48-port C9200 switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for a renewal. Delivered licenses are not returnable once delivered; order errors are corrected before delivery, and terms apply. PO is accepted, Net-30 applies for government, and co-termination and multi-year quotes cover UK, EU, US and MEA buyers.

A 48-port C9200 order with C9200-48T-E, C9200-48P-E, C9200-48PL-E or C9200-48PXG-E needs a same-tier software term license. Put C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y, quantity one per switch, and the Smart Account and Virtual Account on the PO.
An expiring Catalyst Essentials subscription on a 48-port Catalyst 9200 switch keeps forwarding after expiry, but base product-level support and subscription stack capabilities need renewal. Order C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y against the expiring subscription, then check show license summary before the PO.
A stack or site being standardized on 48-port C9200 Network Essentials members needs one subscription for each member, not one for the stack. Match C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y quantities to the 48-port members and provide the same Smart Account and Virtual Account.
24-port Catalyst 9200 switches
The 48-port license does not cover 24-port C9200 models; a 3-year Catalyst Essentials term for 24-port Catalyst 9200 switches uses C9200-DNX-E-24-3Y.
Network Advantage hardware suffixes
A 48-port C9200 switch with a -A hardware suffix needs a matching Advantage subscription; the 3-year 48-port C9200 Advantage PID is C9200-DNX-A-48-3Y.
Catalyst 9200L switches
Catalyst 9200L is a separate platform from C9200; a 3-year 48-port Catalyst 9200L Essentials subscription uses C9200L-DNX-E-48-3Y.

C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y is the C9200 Cisco Catalyst Essentials, 48-port, 3-year term license. C9200 names the Catalyst 9200 host platform, DNX names the Cisco Catalyst software subscription, E names Essentials, 48 names the port count, and 3Y names the 3-year term.
C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y fits C9200-48T-E, C9200-48P-E, C9200-48PL-E and C9200-48PXG-E. C9200 24-port models take C9200-DNX-E-24-3Y. C9200L 48-port models take C9200L-DNX-E-48-3Y. C9200CX 12-port models take C9200CX-DNXE-12-3Y; 8-port models take C9200CX-DNXE-8-3Y.
A Catalyst 9200 switch ships with Network Essentials or Network Advantage in the hardware PID. A 48-port Network Essentials C9200 switch takes C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y for Catalyst Essentials. A 48-port Network Advantage C9200 switch takes C9200-DNX-A-48-3Y for Catalyst Advantage. The PO needs one term license per switch.
Catalyst Essentials includes base automation, monitoring and management on Catalyst 9200. The feature set covers Network Plug and Play, Software Image Management, Easy QoS configuration and management, and cloud monitoring for Catalyst. Catalyst Advantage adds SD-Access, Assurance, Encrypted Traffic Analytics, and Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics.
C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y needs Network Essentials on the switch. A software term license must align with the hardware SKU suffix, so -E hardware takes Essentials and -A hardware takes Advantage. Without Network Essentials, the order needs the matching Network license or the Advantage subscription instead.
C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y includes base product-level support for software, hardware and OS during the term. The support provides 24x7 TAC access, software and OS updates, My Cisco Entitlements and Support Case Manager access, a four-hour severity 1 and 2 objective, and Next Business Day severity 3 and 4 objective.
C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y runs for 3 years under Prepaid Term billing, and Auto Renewal is OFF. At expiry the switch continues to run Network Stack features. Support and subscription stack capabilities need renewal, and the switch keeps Layer 2 and Layer 3 services.
C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y is delivered electronically to the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account. The order needs the PID, quantity, term and delivery target. Smart Licensing Using Policy uses RUM reporting, and show license summary verifies the installed tier and consumption on the switch.
Renew C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y before the term ends to keep subscription support and innovation access. A 1-year subscription is an option at renewal, while new orders use 3-, 5- or 7-year terms. Auto Renewal is OFF, so the renewal must be ordered against the expiring subscription.
A Catalyst 9200 stack needs one C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y license for each 48-port C9200 Network Essentials member. Mixed 24-port and 48-port members need the matching port-count license for each member. Before the PO, confirm the stack members, port counts and installed tiers with show license summary.
C9200-DNX-A-48-3Y adds Catalyst Advantage capabilities that C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y lacks, with SD-Access, Assurance, Encrypted Traffic Analytics and Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics. The Advantage PID suits 48-port C9200 switches with Network Advantage. The Essentials PID suits 48-port C9200 switches with Network Essentials.
C9200-DNX-E-48-5Y gives the same Catalyst Essentials tier and 48-port C9200 fit for 5 years instead of 3 years. C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y suits a 3-year hardware and support cycle. Both PIDs need Network Essentials and a Smart Account.
C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y covers the C9200 platform, while C9200L-DNX-E-48-3Y covers the C9200L platform. Both are Catalyst Essentials 3-year subscriptions for 48-port switches. The switch PID decides the license family, and the PO needs the platform-specific PID.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y.
ORM Systems supplies C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y as new — a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition. Delivery is electronic within 1 business day of the PO.
