Cisco 9300 License Expired

[Pyie Phyo Htay]

Hi Members,

Hello, I would like to ask a question. Our company purchased a C9300 stack and Cisco Network Advantage License subscription for 3 years for 2 devices.

Currently, we are configuring 8 Portchannels, inter-VLAN routing, DHCP services, and trunks on this switch.

I want to know if, after the Network Advantage License has expired, the following services will still be operational or not.

We are experiencing routing problems and port channel flapping issues in this switch after the license evaluation expired.

Thanks.

a license is a license. and a license for  networking essentials or networking advantage (AFAIK) is permanent
so your switch should keep on running the same as it was it will only log that a license has expired more often than you whish.

a subscription is for support or software upgrades, or extra functionality like higher bandwidth on routers
So read your license paper carefully what your license contains
check this table: Enterprise Networks Software Subscription Matrix for Switching - Cisco

my guess is that there is no direct connection between the network issues you mention and the expired license
sounds more like a "normal" defect (SFP's, cabling etc)
