USE Cisco catalyst c9500-48Y4C-A without DNA center

[MKH]

Hello

Because of the EOL announcement of catalyst 4500X switch, we want to replace it  with C9500-48Y4C-A in the our new LOM.

I have configured below LOM in the cisco build and price portal:

C9500-48Y4C-A	Catalyst 9500 48-port x 1/10/25G + 4-port 40/100G, Advantage	1
SC9500HUK9-1612	Cisco Catalyst 9500H XE.16.12 UNIVERSAL	1
C9K-PWR-650WAC-R	650W AC Config 4 Power Supply front to back cooling	1
C9K-PWR-650WAC-R/2	650W AC Config 4 Power Supply front to back cooling	1
CAB-C13-CBN	Cabinet Jumper Power Cord, 250 VAC 10A, C14-C13 Connectors	2
C9500-DNA-48Y4C-A	C9500 DNA Advantage, Term License	1
C9500-DNA-A-3Y	Cisco Catalyst 9500 DNA Advantage 3 Year License	1
PI-LFAS-AP-T-3Y	PI Dev Lic for Lifecycle & Assurance Term 3Y	3

We just want to use VSS and some simple routing  features.

Can I use this switch without DNA center for above features?

Do the selected license support VSS?

Thank you

yes, you can set up without DNAC, VSS = Stackwise virtual now.

Look at the license requirement for theStackwise Virtual.

Where's your Maintenance? Particularly the part where it will allow download of software?

[MKH]

Hello

I can download software, but I don't want to download it. I don't want to upgrade the old switch.

I need some ordinary L2 and L3 switching and routing in our LAN (For end user) and I want to buy this switch. I don't need DNA center features. 

I need to be sure, VSS and ordinary R&S features that supported in 4500X are possible in c9500-48Y4C-A without DNA center.

Thank you.

I hate to be the one to break it to you:  The switch is going to be loaded with 16.12.1 (when you get it).  You will want to upgrade/downgrade the firmware.  Soon.
Have a look at CSCvr86782.

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.
