Cisco Catalyst 9500 - C9500-DNA-24Q-E

The C9500-DNA-24Q-E is a standard-term Cisco DNA Essentials subscription for the Cisco Catalyst 9500-24Q switch (24 x 40G QSFP ports). It activates the foundational Cisco DNA Center capabilities for this 40G platform: device management, automatic network discovery, and basic provisioning, enabling centralized administration without the advanced features of higher tiers.

The Cisco C9500-DNA-24Q-E SKU is recommended for organizations deploying the Catalyst 9500-24Q in 40G aggregation roles and looking for streamlined Cisco DNA Center management without an immediate need for AI assurance or dynamic segmentation. It provides an accessible entry point into the Cisco DNA ecosystem for 40G infrastructures. Official Cisco license, manufacturer warranty included.
