C9300-DNX-A-48-5Y licenses one Catalyst 9300 switch with 48 ports for 5 years. The license is a Catalyst Advantage subscription for 48-port 1G copper models with modular uplinks. It uses Catalyst Center for automation, assurance and policy. The Cisco Catalyst Advantage license needs a Network Essentials or Network Advantage base tier on the switch. Catalyst Advantage adds SD-Access, network assurance and analytics, Encrypted Traffic Analytics, Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics, Cisco Spaces Extend and ISE sessions, which Catalyst Essentials does not. A Catalyst 9300 DNA license under the older DNA ordering family keeps the same tier functions, while this Cisco Catalyst Software subscription is the DNX ordering form.

A 48-port Catalyst 9300 1G copper switch order uses this license when the buyer selects Catalyst Advantage for a 5-year term. The PO needs the switch PID, one license per switch, the Smart Account and the Virtual Account before release.
An expiring 48-port Catalyst 9300 Catalyst Advantage subscription needs renewal before the 5-year term ends. The buyer should provide the installed switch PID, the expiring subscription entitlement and the delivery target before the PO.
A Catalyst 9300 stack being standardized on Catalyst Advantage needs one 48-port subscription for each 48-port member. A three-member stack reports three subscriptions, so the buyer should match quantity to stack membership and confirm the count with show license summary.
48-port Catalyst 9300 fiber switches
A 48-port 1G copper license is not for C9300-48S fiber hardware; a 5-year Catalyst Advantage order for 48-port 1G SFP uses C9300-DNX-A-48S-5Y.
48-port Catalyst 9300L switches
A modular-uplink C9300 license is not for fixed-uplink C9300L or C9300LM hardware; the 48-port 5-year Catalyst Advantage license uses C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y.
