C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y licenses one Catalyst 9300L or Catalyst 9300LM switch with 48 ports for 3 years. The license adds Catalyst Advantage subscription capabilities above the Network Essentials or Network Advantage base stack. It fits fixed-uplink 1G copper access switches and feeds Catalyst Center automation. The Cisco Catalyst Advantage license carries full Cisco DNA capabilities, SD-Access, ISE endpoint sessions, Secure Network Analytics and ThousandEyes entitlements. A Catalyst 9300L license must match a 48-port 1G copper host; a 24-port member uses the 24-port PID. Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM switches keep the perpetual network license when the subscription expires, and the add-on subscription capabilities need renewal. Before the PO, confirm the port count and installed tier with show license summary.

Full Cisco DNA capabilities, SD-Access, ISE Base, ISE Plus, Secure Network Analytics and Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics are the Advantage differentiators. The switch needs Network Essentials as the lowest perpetual base, and Network Advantage also pairs with Catalyst Advantage. C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y uses Smart Licensing Using Policy on IOS XE 17.3.2a and later; Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink hosts run IOS XE 16.11.1b and later. RUM reporting follows the installed policy, and show license status displays the next ACK deadline. At expiry, the add-on license can be renewed or deactivated before a reload returns the switch to base capabilities. Base product-level hardware and software support is bundled for the term, and full hardware RMA coverage needs a separate Smart Net Total Care contract. Smart Licenses transfer between the same device type.
New only means a genuine Cisco license, and licenses have no refurbished condition. The PO carries the PID, quantity, term, Smart Account and Virtual Account, and electronic delivery reaches the customer's Cisco Smart Account and Virtual Account within 1 business day. Order C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y with the switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for a renewal. Returns are not available once delivery is complete; order errors are corrected before delivery, and terms apply. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, co-termination and multi-year quotes cover UK, EU, US and MEA buyers.

A new 48-port Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM access switch order uses this 3-year subscription when the buyer wants Catalyst Advantage on a fixed-uplink 1G copper host. The PO should carry the switch PID, Smart Account and Virtual Account, and show license summary should confirm the installed base tier before delivery.
An expiring Catalyst Advantage subscription on a 48-port C9300L or C9300LM host can be renewed against the current entitlement. The buyer should match the same 48-port scope and 3-year term, provide the Smart Account and Virtual Account, and confirm the renewal target before the PO.
A stack with multiple 48-port C9300L or C9300LM members needs one matching subscription per member. The buyer should count every 48-port fixed-uplink 1G copper switch, separate any 24-port members, and confirm each member's installed tier with show license summary before ordering.
24-port Catalyst 9300L switches
The 48-port entitlement is sized for 48-port C9300L/LM 1G copper hosts; a 24-port C9300L or C9300LM host uses C9300L-DNX-A-24-3Y.
Modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 switches
The fixed-uplink C9300L/LM entitlement is not for modular-uplink C9300 hardware; a 48-port 1G copper Catalyst 9300 host uses C9300-DNX-A-48-3Y.
Catalyst Essentials requirements
Catalyst Advantage adds the advanced tier; a 48-port C9300L/LM switch that needs the Essentials tier for 3 years uses C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y.

C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y is the C9300L/LM Cisco Catalyst Advantage, 48-port 1G Copper, 3-year term license. C9300L/LM names the fixed-uplink host family, DNX names the Cisco Catalyst Software subscription, A names Catalyst Advantage, 48 names the port count, and 3Y names the 3-year term.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y fits 48-port 1G copper C9300L and C9300LM models: C9300L-48T-4G, C9300L-48P-4G, C9300L-48PF-4G, C9300L-48T-4X, C9300L-48P-4X, C9300L-48PF-4X, C9300LM-48U-4Y and C9300LM-48T-4Y. C9300L 24-port models use C9300L-DNX-A-24-3Y.
A Catalyst 9300L switch needs a Network Essentials or Network Advantage perpetual base plus a Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscription term license. This PID is the 48-port Catalyst Advantage 3-year subscription for C9300L and C9300LM fixed-uplink 1G copper hosts.
Catalyst Advantage on Catalyst 9300L includes full Cisco DNA capabilities, SD-Access, ISE Base, ISE Plus, Secure Network Analytics, Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics, Catalyst Center automation and the Catalyst Essentials subscription capabilities beneath it.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y needs Network Essentials as the lowest perpetual base on the switch. Network Advantage also pairs with Catalyst Advantage. Without the base tier, the order needs the correct hardware PID or base entitlement before the subscription is used.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y includes base product-level hardware and software support for the subscription term. The support carries a four-hour TAC response objective for severity 1 and 2 service requests. Full hardware RMA options need Smart Net Total Care or Solution Support.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y runs for 3 years. At expiry, the add-on license can be renewed to keep subscription capabilities active, or deactivated before a reload returns the switch to base license capabilities. The perpetual Network Essentials or Network Advantage license remains on the switch.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y is delivered electronically to the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account. The order needs the PID, quantity, term, Smart Account and Virtual Account. Smart Licensing Using Policy records usage, and show license status displays the next ACK deadline for RUM reporting.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y renews as a subscription against the expiring 48-port Catalyst Advantage entitlement. The renewal order should match the host port count, term choice and delivery target. Smart Software Manager can notify the customer of expiring subscription licenses that need renewal.
A Catalyst 9300L stack consumes licenses per switch member. Each 48-port fixed-uplink 1G copper member needs its own 48-port entitlement. A stack with 24-port and 48-port members needs the matching PID for each member, not one shared stack license.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y adds Catalyst Advantage capabilities that C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y lacks. The Advantage PID fits buyers needing SD-Access, full Cisco DNA capabilities, ISE endpoint sessions, Secure Network Analytics and ThousandEyes; the Essentials PID fits a 48-port host that needs the lower subscription tier.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y carries the same Catalyst Advantage tier and 48-port C9300L/LM host scope for a 5-year term. C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y fits a 3-year budget or renewal cycle; the 5-year PID fits a longer subscription term.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y is the Cisco Catalyst Software subscription form with base product-level hardware and software support. C9300L-DNA-A-48-3Y is the Cisco DNA Software subscription form for the same 48-port Catalyst Advantage term, and it lacks the Catalyst Software subscription hardware-support bundle.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y. Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM host support remains current, so no host last-date-of-support milestone changes the purchase fit.
ORM supplies C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y as new only, as a genuine Cisco license. Delivery is electronic within 1 business day of the PO after the PID, quantity, term and Smart Account and Virtual Account are checked. Licenses are not returnable once delivered.
