C9300L-DNA-E24-10Y Use Case
Enterprise Campus Network Modernization with Cisco Catalyst 9300L and DNA Essentials
Scenario: A large university replaces legacy switches in lecture halls and administrative buildings with Cisco Catalyst 9300L, 24-port switches licensed with Cisco DNA Essentials (10-year term) to unify wired and wireless access under a single management platform. Outcome: Simplified network automation and assurance reduce configuration errors by 80%, accelerate service provisioning by 60%, and deliver 99.99% uptime while lowering operational expenses over a decade.
Secure Branch Office Connectivity for Nationwide Retail Chain
Scenario: A retail enterprise deploys Cisco Catalyst 9300L, 24-port switches with DNA Essentials 10-year licenses at 200 branch locations to enable zero-touch provisioning, consistent policy enforcement, and end-to-end segmentation between POS systems and back-office applications. Outcome: Deployment time per site drops from 3 days to under 2 hours, compliance audits pass with 100% policy adherence, and network support costs fall by 45%.
IoT and BYOD-Ready Network Infrastructure in a Healthcare Facility
Scenario: A multi-hospital system implements Cisco Catalyst 9300L, 24-port switches under a 10-year Cisco DNA Essentials term to connect medical IoT devices, BYOD endpoints, and critical care systems with automated segmentation and threat detection. Outcome: Device onboarding time shrinks by 70%, segmentation prevents lateral threats, and network visibility enhancements support regulatory compliance while maintaining 24/7 availability.
