Cisco Catalyst 9500 - C9500-DNA-12Q-E

The Cisco DNA Essentials license C9500-DNA-12Q-E is a software subscription for Cisco Catalyst 9500 switches with 12 QSFP ports. The Essentials tier activates the core capabilities of Cisco DNA Center — automated provisioning, network policy management, and centralized monitoring — in a format suited to environments with limited advanced analytics requirements.

This license is intended for organizations deploying Catalyst 9500 12Q network cores that need software-defined management without the full assurance capabilities of the Advantage tier. The C9500-DNA-12Q-E reference ensures exact compatibility with the target platform. Genuine Cisco hardware and license, manufacturer support included.
