C9500-48Y4C no DNA license on the CLI output and no allowed to use DNA features.

[Filip Po]

Hello,

how should I get DNA subscription, because on CLI I do not see any. I see only Network-Advantage Perpetual Lic.

On Smart Lic I have prepared licences, but stay unused.

What command should tell the Switch to start using DNA license?

Thank you.

dna-essentials Subscription dna-essentials

There is no subscription license in "sh ver":

Do you have a DNA appliance?

HI,

Do you have DNA?

As I can see a smart license is enabled then your license management must be done from the Cisco license manager/Portal. I think better to verify the Show license status. Is there any out of complain?

[Filip Po]

Hello,

I have DNA licences but not DNA appliance.

I need to use full netflow.

I found that there is no any DNA Advantage License on switch, but on Smart Lic. server is available 4 licences.

If you don't have a DNA appliance, then don't worry about the DNA License.

NBAR

Full Netflow

ERSPAN

Wireshark

EEM

Bonjour

If you use any of these technologies, you are required to continuously invest and renew your DNA licenses

DNA licenses are not strictly tied to DNA-related features, but limit usage of switch-features under a perpetual license as well.

Hi,

As you don't have a DNA appliance so it is not using the license. Make sure you must assign license to the correct device on the portal. 

As I remember that Netflow is not required DNA Advance License. 

[Filip Po]

Hello.

I like to have full netflow, but:

switch(config)#int tw1/0/1

switch(config-if)#ip flow monitor traffic_monitor_1 output
% Flow Monitor: Failed to add monitor to interface: Current license type (network-advantage) allows user to configure "Sampled Netflow" only.
License upgrade required to use "Full Netflow" feature.

I have no possibilities to assign license directly to device in Smart Sofware Lic Satellite, haven't I?

[Filip Po]

I added the command

switch(config)#license boot level network-advantage addon dna-advantage

now show ver looks better.
