Hello, partner supporting Federal here. Cisco released several 1-year DNA skus for Fed. C9407-1A, C9300-24P-1E, etc. Customer is not looking to deploy DNA anytime soon due to compliance, architectural standards etc. From reading the licensing models there are perpetual licenses Network ADV/Network Essentials and then subscription based C1 DNA ESS/DNA ADV. So here are my questions:
1. If the customer is only looking for the perpetual features of say Network Advantage how can they order Cat9000 switches without DNA subs?
2. If the customer is forced to purchases the 1 year DNA SKU what happens when that 1 year subscription expires?
Just some clarity and color would be helpful here.
