C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y licenses one Catalyst 9300 switch with 48 ports for 3 years. The Catalyst Essentials subscription needs Network Essentials on the switch. At expiry, base license operation continues after the add-on license is renewed or deactivated and the switch is reloaded. Catalyst Center uses the entitlement for automation and visibility. The Cisco Catalyst Essentials license covers 48-port 1G copper modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 models. A Catalyst 9300 license for this host and port count must match the switch hardware PID. Catalyst Essentials adds Catalyst Center automation, visibility, health monitoring, software-image management and provisioning, which Network Essentials alone does not. C9300-DNX-A-48-3Y adds the advanced Catalyst Advantage feature set for the same 48-port copper host.

Catalyst Essentials enables foundational switching, automation, visibility, health monitoring, software-image management and provisioning through Catalyst Center, manual access and WebUI. Network Essentials must be installed before C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y is assigned to the switch. The 3-year term is renewable, and expired add-on use is removed by deactivating the add-on license and reloading the switch to run the base license capabilities. Smart Licensing Using Policy applies on IOS XE 17.3.2 and later, and subscription RUM reporting is due within 90 days. Before the PO, confirm the port count and the installed tier on the switch with show license summary. Cisco Embedded Support is included for the term, and hardware replacements use the Catalyst warranty path. Smart Licensing entitlements are not node-locked to the switch hardware.
New condition means a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition. The PO carries the PID, quantity, term and the customer's Cisco Smart Account and Virtual Account, and electronic delivery reaches that account within 1 business day of the PO. Order C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y with the switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for a renewal. Before the PO, confirm the 48-port 1G copper model and Network Essentials in show license summary. Returns are not returnable once delivered; order errors are corrected before delivery, and terms apply. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, co-termination and multi-year quotes serve UK, EU, US and MEA buyers.

A new switch order for a 48-port 1G copper Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink model needs the Network Essentials hardware PID and a matching 3-year Catalyst Essentials subscription. The buyer should specify the switch PID, the subscription PID, quantity, term and Smart Account details before the PO.
An expiring Catalyst Essentials subscription on a 48-port Catalyst 9300 1G copper switch needs renewal before the 3-year entitlement ends. The buyer should reference the expiring subscription, keep the same port count and tier, and provide the Smart Account and Virtual Account for delivery.
A stack standardizing on Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switches needs members at the same license level. A 48-port 1G copper member uses this Catalyst Essentials subscription, while 24-port or fiber members use their own matching PIDs. The buyer should check show license summary before the PO.
24-port Catalyst 9300 copper switches
The 48-port license exceeds the 24-port copper host class. A 24-port 1G copper Catalyst 9300 Essentials switch takes C9300-DNX-E-24-3Y.
48-port Catalyst 9300 fiber switches
The 1G copper license does not cover 48-port 1G SFP modular-uplink models. A 48-port fiber Catalyst 9300 Essentials switch takes C9300-DNX-E-48S-3Y.
48-port Catalyst 9300L switches
The C9300L and C9300LM fixed-uplink platforms use a separate 48-port Catalyst Essentials subscription. A 48-port C9300L Essentials switch takes C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y.
Catalyst Advantage feature requirements
The Essentials tier lacks the advanced automation, analytics, segmentation, assurance, security and application-visibility capabilities in Catalyst Advantage. A 48-port copper Advantage switch takes C9300-DNX-A-48-3Y.

C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y is the C9300 Cisco Catalyst Essentials, 48-port 1G Copper, 3-year term license. C9300 is the Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink platform. DNX is the Cisco Catalyst Software subscription. E is Essentials. 48 is the port count. 3Y is the 3-year term.
C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y fits 48-port 1G copper Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink Network Essentials models C9300-48T-E, C9300-48P-E, C9300-48U-E, C9300-48UB-E, C9300-48U-E-UL and C9300-48H-E. 24-port C9300 models take C9300-DNX-E-24-3Y. 48-port 1G fiber models take C9300-DNX-E-48S-3Y. 48-port C9300L models take C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y.
A Catalyst 9300 48-port 1G copper switch ships with Network Essentials on -E switch PIDs or Network Advantage on -A switch PIDs, and it also needs a term subscription. C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y is the 3-year Catalyst Essentials subscription for 48-port 1G copper C9300 Network Essentials orders.
Catalyst Essentials on Catalyst 9300 includes foundational switching, automation, visibility, health monitoring, software-image management and provisioning. Catalyst Advantage adds advanced automation, analytics, segmentation, assurance, security, application visibility and fabric-management capabilities for buyers that need the next tier.
C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y needs Network Essentials on the switch. The Cisco DNA and Catalyst subscription tier must correspond with the applicable Network Essentials or Network Advantage license, so a 48-port Essentials subscription should be matched to a Network Essentials hardware order.
C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y includes Cisco Embedded Support for the Cisco Catalyst Essentials term component. Base product-level support covers software, operating system updates and TAC access. Hardware replacement for the Catalyst 9300 switch follows the Catalyst warranty path rather than the subscription PID alone.
C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y runs for 3 years. At expiry, the add-on license should be renewed to continue using the subscription entitlement. If the add-on license is deactivated and the switch is reloaded, the switch continues with the base Network Essentials capabilities.
C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y is delivered electronically to the customer's Cisco Smart Account and Virtual Account. The order needs the Smart Account, Virtual Account, PID, quantity and term. Smart Licensing Using Policy on IOS XE 17.3.2 and later uses RUM reporting within 90 days.
C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y is renewable before the 3-year term ends. A renewal order should reference the expiring subscription and keep the Catalyst 9300 host, 48-port count and Catalyst Essentials tier aligned. The buyer should provide the same Smart Account and Virtual Account for delivery.
A Catalyst 9300 stack uses the same license level across stack members. C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y covers one 48-port 1G copper modular-uplink member at the Catalyst Essentials tier. Additional 48-port members need matching subscriptions, and different port or fiber members need their matching PIDs.
C9300-DNX-A-48-3Y adds advanced automation, analytics, segmentation, assurance, security, application visibility and fabric-management capabilities that C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y lacks. The Essentials PID suits foundational Catalyst Center automation on Network Essentials switches. The Advantage PID suits 48-port copper switches ordered with Network Advantage.
C9300-DNX-E-48-5Y adds two more years of the same Catalyst Essentials entitlement for the same 48-port 1G copper Catalyst 9300 host. C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y suits a 3-year subscription cycle, while the 5-year PID suits a longer budget or renewal interval.
C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y covers 24 more copper access ports than C9300-DNX-E-24-3Y. Both are 3-year Catalyst Essentials subscriptions for Catalyst 9300 1G copper modular-uplink switches. The 48-port PID suits C9300-48 models, while the 24-port PID suits C9300-24 models.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y.
ORM Systems supplies C9300-DNX-E-48-3Y as new only, a genuine Cisco license with electronic delivery within 1 business day of the PO. The PO carries PID, quantity, term and the customer's Cisco Smart Account and Virtual Account. Delivered licenses are not returnable, and order errors are corrected before delivery.
