C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y licenses one Catalyst 9300L or Catalyst 9300LM switch with 48 1G copper ports for 3 Years. The Catalyst Essentials subscription adds Catalyst Center automation, health visibility, software image management and provisioning above Network Essentials. It needs Network Essentials on the switch and matching 48-port hardware. At expiry, Network Essentials forwarding continues; subscription features, software support and new Catalyst software capabilities stop. This Cisco Catalyst Essentials license fits fixed-uplink access switches managed through Catalyst Center. Catalyst 9300L license orders use the switch PID and a Smart Account and Virtual Account. The Cisco Networking Subscription aligns new licenses to a common renewal date. C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y adds Cisco AI Network Analytics, Group-Based Policy Analytics and LAN automation, which this tier does not.

C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y is the C9300L/LM Cisco Catalyst Essentials, 48-port 1G Copper, 3-year term license. C9300L-DNX names the C9300L/LM Catalyst software subscription family, E names Essentials, 48 names the 48-port count and 3Y names the 3-year term.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y fits 48-port C9300L and C9300LM Catalyst-managed copper models. The model groups are C9300L-48T, C9300L-48P, C9300L-48PF, C9300L-48UXG, C9300LM-48UX, C9300LM-48U and C9300LM-48T. C9300L/LM 24-port models take C9300L-DNX-E-24-3Y.
A Catalyst 9300L switch needs a Network Stack license in the hardware PID and a Catalyst, Cisco DNA or Meraki subscription at order. The -E hardware suffix carries Network Essentials. C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y is the 3-year Catalyst Essentials license for 48-port C9300L/LM copper switches.
Catalyst Essentials includes nine subscription features for Catalyst 9300L: Patch/SMU lifecycle management automation, Software Image Management (SWIM) Automation, Overall health dashboard, Network Plug and Play (PnP) provisioning application and five more. Catalyst Advantage adds Cisco AI Network Analytics, Group-Based Policy Analytics and LAN automation.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y needs Network Essentials as the lowest installed network stack for an Essentials order. A switch with Network Advantage can renew down to Catalyst Essentials and keep the Network Advantage stack. The buyer checks the installed tier with show license summary before the PO.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y includes base product-level support for the subscription term. That entitlement covers 24x7 access to the Cisco Technical Assistance Center, Software and OS updates, access to My Cisco Entitlements and Support Case Manager and TAC response objectives.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y runs for 3 Years from ship date when ordered with the switch. At expiry, the switch continues to function with Network Stack features intact. Subscription features, software support and access to new Catalyst software capabilities require renewal.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y is delivered electronically to the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account. The PO must carry both targets. Smart Licensing Using Policy reports usage by RUM report through direct connect, CSLU or offline upload, and IOS XE 17.18.5 or later supports unified licensing.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y renews as a subscription against the expiring entitlement. New Catalyst and Cisco DNA terms are 3, 5 or 7 years, and a 1-year term is a renewal option. Cisco Networking Subscription can align added licenses to a common renewal date.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y is counted per switch, not per stack. A stack of three 48-port C9300L/LM members needs three 48-port license counts. The stack must run a common license set, and the RUM report carries the serial numbers and PIDs of the members.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y adds Advantage features: Cisco AI Network Analytics, AI Endpoint Analytics, Group-Based Policy Analytics, LAN automation, Application hosting automation and lifecycle management, Platform Fabric, segmentation, and eWC. C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y fits buyers staying on Catalyst Essentials for base automation, monitoring, health and provisioning on 48-port C9300L/LM switches.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y carries the same Catalyst Essentials tier and 48-port C9300L/LM host with a 5-year term. C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y has a 3-year term. The 5-year PID suits a longer renewal interval; the 3-year PID suits the standard minimum term.
C9300L-DNX-E-24-3Y covers 24-port C9300L/LM copper switches. C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y covers 48-port C9300L/LM copper switches. The tier and term match, so the port count decides the order and every stack member needs the matching count.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y.
ORM supplies C9300L-DNX-E-48-3Y new only as a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition. Delivery is electronic within 1 business day of the PO to the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account.
