C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y licenses one Catalyst 9300L or Catalyst 9300LM switch with 48 ports for 5 years. It is a Catalyst Essentials subscription for fixed uplink models that use Network Essentials and Catalyst Center. The Cisco Catalyst Essentials license adds base automation, monitoring, and management above the embedded Network Essentials stack. The Catalyst 9300L license fits 48-port C9300L and C9300LM access switches, and each stack member needs its own subscription. Catalyst Essentials carries base product-level software and hardware support, which the embedded Network Essentials license does not. At expiry, Network Essentials forwarding continues and subscription features, support, and Catalyst Center access need renewal.

Full Flexible NetFlow, Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager, Software Image Management, overall health dashboards, Network Plug and Play, Cisco Catalyst Service for Bonjour LAN, out of box reports, and cloud monitoring for Catalyst are the Catalyst Essentials feature set on this platform. Network Essentials must be installed on the switch before the subscription is matched to the hardware. C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y runs 5 years from switch shipment, and standalone fulfillment can use the order date shown on the license order. Smart Licensing Using Policy is active on IOS XE 17.3.2a and later, with a Resource Utilization Measurement report due within 90 days for unenforced subscription use. Base product-level support gives 24x7 TAC access and software and OS updates during the term. The license is not node-locked and can move within the same device type; a stack consumes one subscription per member.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y is offered new only as a genuine Cisco license; licenses have no refurbished condition. PO must carry the PID, quantity, term, Smart Account and Virtual Account, and delivery is electronic within 1 business day of the PO. Order the license with the switch PID, or against the expiring subscription for a renewal. Before the PO, confirm the port count and the installed tier on the switch with show license summary; returns are not available once delivered, and order errors are corrected before delivery. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, co-termination and multi-year quotes, UK, EU, US and MEA.

A new 48-port Catalyst 9300L or Catalyst 9300LM switch order needs the embedded Network Essentials hardware suffix and a 5-year Catalyst Essentials subscription. The buyer specifies the switch PID, this license PID, the Smart Account and Virtual Account, and confirms the 48-port count before the PO.
An expiring Catalyst Essentials subscription on a 48-port fixed uplink switch needs renewal before Catalyst Center features and included support lapse. The buyer orders against the expiring subscription, keeps the same Smart Account and Virtual Account, and checks the installed tier with show license summary before the PO.
A stack of fixed uplink Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM switches needs one subscription per member and matching license levels across the stack. The buyer matches every 48-port member to this 5-year Catalyst Essentials PID and separates 24-port members before the PO.
24-port Catalyst 9300L switches
The 48-port count is a mismatch for 24-port fixed uplink models; match a 5-year Catalyst Essentials order to C9300L-DNX-E-24-5Y.
Catalyst Advantage feature requirements
Catalyst Essentials lacks SD-Access fabric, AI Network Analytics, ThousandEyes, Cisco Spaces Extend, and ISE Advantage licenses; use C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y for 48-port fixed uplink models.
Modular uplink Catalyst 9300 switches
C9300L/LM is the host family for this PID; 48-port modular uplink C9300 copper models use C9300-DNX-E-48-5Y for the same term.
Seven-year term alignment
The term is 5 years; sites standardizing on a 7-year Catalyst Essentials renewal for 48-port C9300L/LM switches use C9300L-DNX-E-48-7Y.

C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y is the C9300L/LM Cisco Catalyst Essentials, 48-port 1G Copper, 5-year term license. C9300L/LM names fixed uplink Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM hosts, DNX names Cisco Catalyst Software subscription, E names Essentials, 48 names 48-port 1G copper, and 5Y names 5 years.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y fits 48-port C9300L-48T-4G, C9300L-48T-4X, C9300L-48P-4G, C9300L-48P-4X, C9300L-48PF-4G, C9300L-48PF-4X, C9300L-48UXG-4X, C9300L-48UXG-2Q, C9300LM-48UX-4Y, C9300LM-48U-4Y, and C9300LM-48T-4Y switches. 24-port C9300L and C9300LM models take C9300L-DNX-E-24-5Y, and C9300 modular 48-port copper models take C9300-DNX-E-48-5Y.
A Catalyst 9300L switch with Network Essentials needs a Catalyst Essentials subscription, and C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y is the 5-year, 48-port option. The switch ships with an embedded Network Essentials or Network Advantage tier by hardware suffix, and the subscription term is selected at order.
Catalyst Essentials includes base automation, monitoring, and management on Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM switches. The feature set adds Full Flexible NetFlow, Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager, Software Image Management, health dashboards, Network Plug and Play, Bonjour LAN service, out of box reports, and cloud monitoring for Catalyst.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y needs Network Essentials on the switch. The subscription tier must correspond with the embedded network tier, so a Network Advantage hardware purchase aligns to Catalyst Advantage instead of Catalyst Essentials. Before the PO, confirm the installed tier with show license summary.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y includes base product-level software and hardware support for the subscription term. The support includes 24x7 TAC access for software, hardware, and OS issues, software and OS updates, My Cisco Entitlements access, Support Case Manager access, and a four-hour TAC response objective for severity 1 and 2 service requests.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y runs for 5 years from the license start date. At expiry the switch continues to function with Network Essentials features intact, and the buyer renews the subscription to keep Catalyst Essentials features, innovation, included support, and Catalyst Center subscription access.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y is delivered electronically to the customer's Smart Account and Virtual Account. The order needs the Smart Account and Virtual Account, and IOS XE 17.3.2a or later uses Smart Licensing Using Policy. show license summary verifies the tier and license usage.
Buyers renew C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y by ordering against the expiring Catalyst Essentials subscription for the same 48-port fixed uplink host. A 1-year term is available at renewal, while new Catalyst and Cisco DNA subscriptions use 3-year, 5-year, or 7-year terms.
A Catalyst 9300L stack uses one subscription license per member. Each switch in the stack consumes one perpetual network license and one subscription license, so a six-member stack consumes six Catalyst Essentials subscriptions when all members use the same tier.
C9300L-DNX-A-48-5Y adds SD-Access fabric, advanced assurance, analytics, segmentation, ThousandEyes, Cisco Spaces Extend, and ISE Advantage licenses that C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y lacks. The Essentials PID suits base automation and monitoring, while the Advantage PID suits 48-port fixed uplink switches needing policy-based automation and advanced visibility.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y. The 48-port Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM host family remains the sale check for hardware support and renewal alignment.
C9300L-DNX-E-48-5Y is ordered new only as a genuine Cisco license with electronic delivery within 1 business day of the PO. The PO carries the PID, quantity, term, Smart Account and Virtual Account. Licenses are not returnable once delivered, and order errors are corrected before delivery.
