ordering Cat3850 IP Services with DNA-E or DNA-A?

[uarora]

Hi

If i am ordering/configuring a cat3850 with IP services image, do i still require a DNA-Advantage?

Do i lose my IP Services image/functionalities if i select DNA-Essentials?

I dont require DNA-A features, but i do require IP Services functionalities.

IP services were old name now it is called Network Advantage or Essentials which were IP services and LAN services i guess earlier. Now it is not mandatory to have DNA advantage but it is beneficial hence cisco has also reduced H/W cost of appliance for sometime to compensate. Now If you get you C1 perpetual licenses along with hardware you get your IP services like BGP, OSPF etc, You can add Net. Advantage on top of it for latest features. No you do not lose your IP services when you choose DNA essntials, If you do not require DNA-A, then you should only purchase the H/W with C1 licenses and add network advantage or IP services when ordering. I can share video or link so you can understand this better.
