C9300-DNX-E-24-3Y licenses one Catalyst 9300 switch with 24 ports for 3 years. It is a Cisco Catalyst Essentials subscription for 1G copper modular-uplink models. It needs Network Essentials on the switch and gives Catalyst Center automation without moving the switch to Catalyst Advantage. The Cisco Catalyst Essentials license fits C9300 24-port 1G copper switches ordered with Network Essentials hardware PIDs. The Catalyst 9300 license covers each switch member separately, so a stack needs one matching 24-port subscription per 24-port member. Catalyst Essentials adds Catalyst Center management, Network Plug and Play, out-of-box reports and limited cloud monitoring for Catalyst. Catalyst Advantage adds Cisco Spaces Extend and Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics, which this 3-year, 24-port subscription does not carry.

Features enabled by Catalyst Essentials are automation through Catalyst Center, Network Plug and Play, out-of-box reports, cloud monitoring for Catalyst with limited visibility, and a 24-hour overall health dashboard. The switch must carry Network Essentials before the add-on term can run. At expiry the base license capabilities continue, and DNA features stop until renewal. Smart Licensing Using Policy records usage in the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account. Before the PO, confirm the 24-port count, installed Network Essentials tier and usage count with show license summary. A stack consumes one subscription for each licensed member. C9300-DNX-E-24-3Y is an add-on term license, so reloading the switch after a license-level change applies the configured level. Base product-level software and hardware support is bundled for the subscription term; hardware replacement remains handled through the Catalyst warranty program.
C9300-DNX-E-24-3Y is new only as a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition. The PO carries the PID, quantity, 3-year term, Smart Account and Virtual Account, and electronic delivery arrives within 1 business day of the PO. Order with the switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for a renewal. The license is not returnable once delivered; order errors are corrected before delivery. Commercial terms are PO accepted, Net-30 for government, co-termination and multi-year quotes, and UK, EU, US and MEA coverage.
