C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y licenses one Catalyst 9200L switch with 48 ports for 5 years as a Catalyst Essentials subscription. The license needs Network Essentials on the switch and feeds automation, management, visibility, and assurance into Catalyst Center. The Cisco Catalyst Essentials license covers fixed-uplink C9200L 48-port data, PoE+, partial-PoE+, and mGig models. This Catalyst 9200L license carries base product-level support for hardware, software, and OS, which a Cisco DNA subscription does not carry. The 5-year, 48-port subscription aligns with Network Essentials hardware suffixes and uses Smart Licensing Using Policy. At expiry, on-device OS functionality continues; platform access, management, monitoring, support, and software updates require an active subscription. The PO must match 48 ports.

Foundational automation, management, visibility, and assurance are the Catalyst Essentials functions for Catalyst 9200L. Network Essentials must be installed before C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y is ordered, and the hardware suffix must be -E. A delayed start can be set up to 60 days from the day the order leaves the demand fulfillment center. Smart Licensing Using Policy makes the subscription unenforced on the switch and requires RUM reporting for subscription use within 90 days. IOS XE 17.3.2 or later uses this model; Catalyst 9200 Series switches run IOS XE 16.9.2 or later. Base product-level support covers hardware, software, and OS during the term, while hardware replacement follows the Catalyst warranty path. Portability stays within the same Catalyst 9000 hardware series. Before the PO, confirm the port count and the installed tier on the switch with show license summary.
C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y is new only as a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition. The PO carries the PID, quantity, 5-year term, and the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account, and delivery is electronic within 1 business day. Order the license with the switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for a renewal. Returns are not available once delivered; order errors are corrected before delivery, and terms apply. PO is accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and co-termination and multi-year quotes cover UK, EU, US, and MEA buyers.

A new 48-port Catalyst 9200L switch order needs Network Essentials hardware and the matching Catalyst Essentials term. The buyer specifies C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y, a 48-port -E switch PID, the 5-year term, and the Smart Account and Virtual Account before the PO.
An expiring Catalyst Essentials subscription on a 48-port Catalyst 9200L switch can be renewed with the same 5-year PID or another available term. The buyer checks show license summary, confirms Network Essentials remains installed, and provides the existing Smart Account and Virtual Account.
A site being standardized on 48-port Catalyst 9200L access switches needs one subscription per switch. The buyer keeps the installed tier at Network Essentials, uses the same term for each member in each stack, and checks the port count before the PO.
24-port Catalyst 9200L switches
The license covers 48-port C9200L hardware, so 24-port C9200L models use C9200L-DNX-E-24-5Y for the same Catalyst Essentials 5-year term.
48-port Catalyst 9200 switches
The license covers fixed-uplink C9200L hardware, so modular C9200 48-port models use C9200-DNX-E-48-5Y for Catalyst Essentials 5-year coverage.
Catalyst Advantage builds
The license carries Catalyst Essentials, so 48-port C9200L switches ordered at the Advantage tier use C9200L-DNX-A-48-5Y with Network Advantage.
8-port or 12-port C9200CX switches
The license covers 48-port C9200L hardware, so C9200CX compact models use C9200CX-DNAE8-5Y or C9200CX-DNAE12-5Y by port count.

C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y is the C9200L Cisco Catalyst Essentials, 48-port, 5-year term license. C9200L marks Catalyst 9200L, DNX marks Cisco Catalyst software subscription, E marks Essentials, 48 marks 48 ports, and 5Y marks a 5-year term. The license is a Smart License product ID.
C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y covers 48-port Catalyst 9200L models 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. 24-port C9200L switches use C9200L-DNX-E-24-5Y. 48-port C9200 switches use C9200-DNX-E-48-5Y.
A Catalyst 9200L switch needs a Network Stack license and a matching software subscription. Network Essentials hardware PIDs ending -E take Catalyst Essentials. For a 48-port 5-year Catalyst Essentials order, C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y is the subscription PID and Network Essentials is the prerequisite tier.
Catalyst Essentials on Catalyst 9200L includes foundational automation, management, visibility, and assurance capabilities through Catalyst Center. Network Essentials keeps Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, visibility, and security capabilities. Catalyst Advantage adds advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation, and application-visibility capabilities.
C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y needs Network Essentials on the switch. A new switch order uses a hardware PID ending -E so the Network Stack tier and Catalyst Essentials subscription match. An Advantage hardware suffix changes the matching subscription to C9200L-DNX-A-48-5Y.
C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y carries base product-level support for hardware, software, and OS, which a Cisco DNA subscription does not carry. Hardware replacement uses the Catalyst warranty path, and SNTC remains optional for separate service coverage. The included support runs with the 5-year subscription.
C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y runs for 5 years, with a delayed start available up to 60 days from the day the order leaves the demand fulfillment center. At expiry, on-device OS functionality continues. Catalyst Center access, management, monitoring, support, and software updates need an active subscription.
C9200L-DNX-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 5-year term. Smart Licensing Using Policy uses RUM reporting, and subscription use must be reported within 90 days. IOS XE 17.3.2 or later uses this model.
C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y renews as a Catalyst Essentials subscription for the 48-port Catalyst 9200L switch. Renewal preserves the Network Essentials base tier when the installed tier remains Essentials. A renewal can use another available term, and the order carries the existing Smart Account and Virtual Account.
A Catalyst 9200L stack needs one C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y entitlement for each 48-port switch. The PID is a 1-switch, 48-port subscription. Before the PO, confirm the port count and the installed tier on each member with show license summary.
C9200L-DNX-A-48-5Y adds advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation, segmentation, and application-visibility capabilities that C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y does not carry. Both use a 5-year 48-port term. Use Advantage for advanced functions and Essentials for foundational automation, management, visibility, and assurance.
C9200L-DNX-E-48-7Y runs 7 years, which C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y does not. Both carry Catalyst Essentials for 48-port Catalyst 9200L switches and require Network Essentials. Use 7-year for a longer subscription term and 5-year for a shorter refresh cycle.
C9200L-DNX-E-48-5Y covers 48-port Catalyst 9200L switches, while C9200L-DNX-E-24-5Y covers 24-port Catalyst 9200L switches. Both carry Catalyst Essentials for 5 years and require Network Essentials. The switch port count decides the PID.
