Cisco Table 11 identifies C9300L-48-E-A-7 as the fixed-uplink 48-port Essentials-to-Advantage software upgrade, with a seven-year Cisco DNA selection. The table covers C9300L and C9300LM license ordering. This line supplies software rights; it does not supply a physical Catalyst 9300L switch.
Network Essentials changes to Network Advantage, while Cisco DNA Essentials changes to Cisco DNA Advantage. Cisco treats the Network stack as perpetual and the DNA stack as a term subscription. Keep the seven-year DNA record distinct from the Network authorization; a seven-year hardware warranty or support agreement is not established by this upgrade PID.
For the 48-port class, compare the installed switch PID and its existing Essentials position with the offered entitlement. Cisco names C9300L-LIC= as the electronic software license PID for the fixed-uplink path. A C9300 modular-uplink order or a 24-port license is a different selection. Confirm account assignment and the supported post-purchase upgrade procedure rather than assuming a license can be freely transferred.
Require the quotation to show the purchased seven-year DNA term and the actual subscription start and expiration records. The adjacent -5 option selects a shorter DNA duration, while moving to C9300L-24-E-A-7 changes the parent port class. Account eligibility and duration must both match the requirement. No switches, optics, modules or power supplies are included; the official Cisco DNA artwork is a software illustration.
