C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y is a Catalyst Essentials 5-year subscription license for one Catalyst 9300 24-port 1G copper switch. It needs Network Essentials on the switch and adds Catalyst Center automation, element management, Basic Assurance, Full Flexible NetFlow, and EEM. At expiry, base switching continues and subscription features need renewal. The Cisco Catalyst Essentials license fits C9300-24T-E, C9300-24P-E, C9300-24U-E, C9300-24UB-E, and C9300-24H-E models when the 24-port count matches. A stack consumes a separate license for each 24-port 1G copper member. This Catalyst 9300 license uses Catalyst Center, CLI, and WebUI management. Catalyst Essentials keeps base product-level support for hardware, software, and OS during the subscription, which Cisco DNA Essentials does not add for hardware.
C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y price is $1,860.01. C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

Features enabled at Catalyst Essentials are Full Flexible NetFlow, EEM, Simplified Campus Automation, Day-0 network bring-up automation, element management, and Basic Assurance health dashboards. Network Essentials is the initial-order base tier; Network Advantage can pair with Essentials at renewal. C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y is a Smart Licensing Using Policy entitlement on IOS XE 17.3.2 and later. The switch generates RUM reports for license usage at boot, on a license-level change, and on the reporting interval. The buyer checks show license summary for the Smart Account, Virtual Account, license count, and IN USE status. Hardware replacements stay on the Catalyst warranty path, and full hardware support for the perpetual network stack needs a separate Smart Net Total Care or Solution Support contract. Smart License portability stays within the same Catalyst 9000 series of hardware.
C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y is offered new only as a genuine Cisco license. The PO carries the license PID, quantity, 5-year term, Smart Account, and Virtual Account, and electronic delivery reaches the customer's portal within 1 business day of the PO. Order this subscription with the switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for a renewal. Before the PO, confirm the port count and installed tier with show license summary. Delivered licenses are not returnable once delivered; order errors are corrected before delivery. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, co-termination and multi-year quotes, and UK, EU, US, MEA coverage apply.

A Catalyst 9300 24-port 1G copper switch needs a Network Essentials hardware suffix for this Essentials subscription at initial purchase. C9300-24T-E, C9300-24P-E, C9300-24U-E, C9300-24UB-E, and C9300-24H-E ship with Network Essentials, and C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y supplies the 5-year Catalyst Essentials subscription.

C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y needs Network Essentials on the switch for an initial order.

An initial Network Advantage order with the same 24-port and 5-year term takes Catalyst Advantage.
C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y includes base product-level support for hardware, software, and OS during the subscription term. Hardware replacements use the Catalyst warranty path. Faster response objectives and more hardware RMA options need Smart Net Total Care or Solution Support.
C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y runs for 5 years. At expiry the switch continues operating with base license capabilities, and the add-on license needs renewal to continue the subscription features. The base Network Essentials license remains permanent and has no expiration date.
C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y is delivered electronically to the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account. The order needs the Smart Account and Virtual Account. Smart Licensing Using Policy on IOS XE 17.3.2 and later uses RUM reporting, and the buyer verifies entitlement status with show license summary.
C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y renews before term expiry to keep Catalyst Essentials subscription features active. A renewal can pair Catalyst Essentials with Network Advantage, while an initial Network Advantage order uses Catalyst Advantage. The buyer checks the expiring subscription, switch PID, port count, term, and delivery target before the PO.
C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y is counted per switch in a Catalyst 9300 stack. Each 24-port 1G copper member needs its own matching subscription. Smart License portability stays within the same Catalyst 9000 series of hardware, and show license summary reports the count and status.
C9300-DNX-A-24-5Y adds the Advantage features that C9300-DNX-E-24-5Y lacks, led by SD-Access, Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics, Cisco Spaces, ASAc firewall, and network assurance and analytics. Essentials fits buyers needing base automation and assurance; Advantage fits buyers needing policy-based automation and advanced assurance.
