C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y is a DNA Essentials 5-year subscription license for one 48-port Catalyst 9200L switch. It needs Network Essentials on the switch, and DNA features stop at expiry while Network Essentials base capabilities continue after reload. Cisco DNA Essentials license is the tier-led name for foundational automation, management, visibility, and assurance. A Catalyst 9200L DNA license covers the fixed-uplink 48-port C9200L models, and each stack member needs its own matching port-count subscription. The management entitlement uses Catalyst Center, and the term carries Software support (SWSS). This 5-year, 48-port subscription carries Cisco DNA Essentials; C9200L-DNA-A-48-5Y adds advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation, and application-visibility capabilities. Before the PO, the buyer confirms the port count and installed tier.

Foundational automation, management, visibility, and assurance are the DNA Essentials capabilities for Catalyst 9200L. Network Essentials supplies Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, automation, visibility, and security beneath C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y; Network Advantage is also a permitted base for DNA Essentials. The switch uses Smart Licensing Using Policy on IOS XE 17.3.2a and later, while Catalyst 9200 Series switches run IOS XE 16.9.2 or later. The buyer provides a Smart Account and Virtual Account, then checks the installed tier with show license summary. Cisco DNA licenses are unenforced, so feature use does not wait for registration or a key. RUM reporting for an unenforced subscription uses 90 days for the first report, reporting frequency, and usage changes. A stack keeps one license set per member, and C9200L stacking uses same-license-level C9200L members only.
C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y is offered new only as a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition and are not returnable once delivered. The PO carries the customer’s Smart Account and Virtual Account, and electronic delivery reaches that target within 1 business day of the PO. Order it with the switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for a renewal. PID, quantity and term are checked against the Cisco order before delivery. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, co-termination and multi-year quotes, and UK, EU, US and MEA terms apply.

C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y is the C9200L Cisco DNA Essentials, 48-port, 5-year term license. C9200L identifies the Catalyst 9200L platform, DNA identifies Cisco DNA software, E identifies Essentials, 48 identifies 48 ports, and 5Y identifies a 5-year subscription term. The matching perpetual tier is Network Essentials.
C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y licenses one 48-port Catalyst 9200L switch with a Network Essentials or Network Advantage suffix: C9200L-48T-4G, C9200L-48P-4G, C9200L-48PL-4G, C9200L-48T-4X, C9200L-48P-4X, C9200L-48PL-4X, C9200L-48PXG-4X, and C9200L-48PXG-2Y. A 24-port Catalyst 9200L switch takes C9200L-DNA-E-24-5Y.
A Catalyst 9200L switch ships with a Network Essentials or Network Advantage perpetual license through the hardware PID suffix. A 48-port Network Essentials order takes Cisco DNA Essentials, and C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y is the five-year 48-port option. A 48-port Network Advantage order takes C9200L-DNA-A-48-5Y.
DNA Essentials on Catalyst 9200L includes foundational automation, management, visibility, and assurance capabilities through Catalyst Center. Network Essentials beneath it supplies foundational Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, automation, visibility, and security. DNA Advantage adds advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation, and application-visibility capabilities.
C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y needs Network Essentials as the lowest permitted base tier on the switch. Network Advantage is also a permitted base for DNA Essentials. Without a permitted base tier, the subscription cannot align to the switch license set, and the buyer should correct the installed tier before the PO.
C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y includes Software support (SWSS) for the subscription term. The switch also remains eligible for separate hardware support choices through Smart Net Total Care support, partner service support, Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty, Solution Support, or Success Tracks. The hardware RMA path is separate from the DNA subscription entitlement.
C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y runs for 5 years. At expiry, DNA Essentials capabilities and SWSS entitlement need renewal for continued subscription use. Network Essentials base capabilities continue after the add-on subscription is deactivated and the switch is reloaded. The Smart Account holds the entitlement and expiry date.
C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y is delivered electronically to the customer’s Smart Account and Virtual Account. The order needs the Smart Account, Virtual Account, PID, quantity, and term. The switch uses Smart Licensing Using Policy on IOS XE 17.3.2a and later, and the buyer should verify the installed tier with show license summary.
C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y renews as a Cisco DNA Essentials subscription for the 48-port Catalyst 9200L license family. Order the renewal against the expiring subscription and keep the port count, tier, Smart Account, and Virtual Account aligned. Smart Software Manager can track consumption and expiring add-on licenses.
C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y counts per stack member, not per stack. A C9200L stack supports up to eight fixed-uplink C9200L members with the same license level. Mixed stacking with C9200 modular models, Catalyst 2960-X, Catalyst 2960-XR, or other Catalyst switches is not supported.
C9200L-DNA-A-48-5Y adds advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation, and application-visibility capabilities that C9200L-DNA-E-48-5Y does not carry. The Essentials PID fits 48-port Catalyst 9200L switches that need foundational automation, management, visibility, and assurance with a Network Essentials or Network Advantage base tier.
