This document provides a detailed overview of the ordering process for Catalyst 9200 Series switches on Cisco Commerce Workspace.

Hardware and software order overview

Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches are ordered through Cisco Commerce Workspace with a 3, 5 or 7 year term-based Cisco DNA Premier, Advantage and Essentials subscriptions. This includes term-based embedded support. All options include switch hardware coupled with Cisco IOS^® XE and the related perpetual Network Advantage or Essentials network stack software. In addition to the hardware and network stack software, the offer requires the addition of the term-based Cisco DNA subscription software. Figure 1 gives an overview of available Cisco DNA Premier, Advantage and Essentials subscription options, and what is included in each software package.

How to Order a Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switch

Both Network Stack licenses and Cisco DNA licenses are mandatory at the time of purchase and come in two licensing tier options: Essentials (-E) and Advantage (-A). Network Stack Essentials or Advantage is included with the hardware, while a Cisco DNA term license needs to be selected at the time of order.

To order in the Cisco Commerce Workspace, follow these steps:

1. Select the appropriate Catalyst 9200 Series switch SKU with “-E” or “-A” device for the desired license type.
2. Choose the preferred consumption model - Cisco DNA Premier, Advantage or Essentials.
3. Choose the Cisco DNA term license (3, 5 or 7 years).
4. Add other components (for example secondary power supply, power cables, etc.).

Step-by-Step Ordering in Cisco Commerce Workspace

Enter the hardware SKU in Cisco Commerce Workspace.

The Network Stack license is perpetual and included with the hardware by default (it will not be visible in the selection menu) per the respective hardware SKU suffix (example: C9200L-48P-E/ C9200L-48P-A).

A Cisco DNA Premier license option is available for selection and is the default. Customers are encouraged to purchase the Cisco DNA Premier option to enable advanced Cisco DNA solutions:

Note:      Follow steps below to change from 5 year default term to a 3 or 7 year term for Cisco DNA Premier License.

Check Summary to validate all terms are aligned to intended term.

For the Cisco DNA Premier license option, Catalyst 9200 Series 48 port switch models come defaulted with additional 25 end points in addition to typical 25 endpoints or flow. See the next to snapshots to select the desired number of endpoints.

For Cisco DNA Advantage and Essentials options, the term-based Cisco DNA license is preselected by default to the 5 year term, but can be changed to 3 or 7 year term. The Cisco DNA term license is mandatory (customers must select one of the term options to complete the configuration) and aligns with the hardware SKU suffix (-E or -A):

A power cable must be selected to complete the configuration:

The primary power supply is added by default, based on the hardware model. A secondary power supply is can be selected as well, based on hardware model.

A stacking module is available for selection. Each stack kit contains two stack adaptors and one stacking cable:

Console cables are also available as shown below:

Default accessories shipped with the switch

Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches ships with the following components and accessories by default:

• Switch
• Default power supply (based on selected switch)
• Power cable
• Mounting brackets

Licensing

All Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switch hardware is available with two software options. Each software option includes two components, as shown in Table 1.

Table 1.        License levels and options

Smart Accounts

As with all Catalyst 9000 family switches, Smart Accounts are mandatory when ordering a Catalyst 9200 Series switch.

A Smart Account is a central data repository that provides visibility and access control to all the Cisco software licenses and entitlements across an organization. Smart Accounts allow customers to store, manage, and move assets across locations and devices and begin to use them immediately. Smart Accounts are required for enabling Cisco Smart Software Licensing.

After a Smart Account has been set up, customers have the flexibility to create subaccounts (virtual accounts) to help manage licenses for departments, areas, or locations within their organization. Licenses can be pooled within virtual accounts as needed. Smart Accounts support role-based user access controls, which allow the delegation of authority to account administrators at the Smart Account level or at the virtual account level. In addition, customers can assign partner visibility and management rights to their virtual or enterprise-level accounts.

Introduction to Smart Licensing

Cisco Smart Licensing is a flexible licensing model that provides you with an easier, faster, and more consistent way to purchase and manage software across the Cisco portfolio and across your organization. And it’s secure – you control what users can access. With Smart Licensing you get:

• Easy Activation: Smart Licensing establishes a pool of software licenses that can be used across the entire organization—no more PAKs (Product Activation Keys).
• Unified Management: My Cisco Entitlements (MCE) provides a complete view into all of your Cisco products and services in an easy-to-use portal, so you always know what you have and what you are using.
• License Flexibility: Your software is not node-locked to your hardware, so you can easily use and transfer licenses as needed.

To use Smart Licensing, you must first set up a Smart Account on Cisco Software Central (software.cisco.com).

Smart Licensing

Smart Licensing is a cloud-based licensing managed platform built to simplify the purchase, deployment, and management of Cisco software assets. Entitlements are immediately deposited into a customer’s virtual account for usage. This eliminates the need to install license files on every device. Products that are Smart License enabled communicate to Cisco to report consumption. The primary location to manage product registration and monitor Smart License consumption is the Cisco Smart Software Manager. License ownership and consumption are readily available to help make better purchase decisions based on consumption or other business needs.

Cisco Smart Software Manager

Cisco Smart Software Manager enables the management of software licenses. The interface allows you to activate your product, manage entitlements, and renew and upgrade software. An active Smart Account is required to complete the Smart License registration process.

Smart Account and Smart License availability

Important information about smart account and smart license availability.

• Catalyst 9200 Series switch SKUs are smart SKUs. License entitlements will be deposited in the Cisco Smart Software Manager and the Smart Accounts
• In addition to viewing entitlements, customers will also be able to track consumption

Smart Accounts are mandatory at the time of the order of a Catalyst 9200 Series switch. If a customer does not have a Smart Account set up prior to the purchase, a new Smart Account must be created at the time of purchase.

Deploying Smart Licenses for Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches

The Cisco Catalyst 9000 switch family comes in different licensing packages in comparison to previous-generations Cisco Catalyst platforms. Smart Licenses are transferable between the same types of devices (for example, from one Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switch to another). (See Figure 2.)

Figure 2.               

Deploying Smart Licenses

In the deployment model shown in Figure 2, the Smart Account Cisco back end and Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches do not have a communication channel to report usage and consumption. They operate as separate entities. The switches must be configured in RTU mode with correct license level to enable the purchased feature set.

License usage and consumption reporting is performed on Cisco Smart Software Manager.

Services and warranty

The Solution Support service option is strongly recommended; it provides coverage for Cisco DNA Premier, Advantage and Essentials software licenses. Additional product-level hardware support options are available: Smart Net Total Care support, partner service support, embedded support, and Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware Warranty (E-LLW). Please note that if Solution Support is not selected, Cisco DNA Premier, Advantage and Essentials software licenses can still be covered by selecting the embedded support option.

It is strongly recommended that the term of the hardware support contract match the software subscription license term to avoid any service support gaps for the duration of the term.

Figures 4 through 9 describe the various service options for Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches.
