In addition to on-box capabilities  the features available with this package provide Cisco innovations on the switch  as well as on Cisco DNA Center. The Cisco DNA subscription licenses are mandatory at the time of configuration.License consumption is easily determined by the package itself. While perpetual licenses are always permanent and without an expiration date  subscription licenses have to be purchased for a 3-, 5-, or 7-year term (and hence are also known as term-based licenses). Table 12 shows the combinations of perpetual and subscription licenses that must be purchased.Connectors and cabling1000BASE-T ports: RJ-45 connectors  4-pair Cat 5E UTP cablingMultigigabit-T ports: RJ-45 connectors  4-pair Cat 5E  Cat 6  Cat 6A UTP cabling1000BASE-T SFP-based ports: RJ-45 connectors  4-pair Cat 5E UTP cabling SFP transceivers: LC fiber connectors (single-mode or multimode fiber) SFP+ transceivers: LC fiber connectors (single-mode or multimode fiber) QSFP+ transceivers: MPO and LC fiber connectors (single-mode or multimode fiber) QSFP+ connector SFP+ connector Cisco StackWise stacking ports: copper-based Cisco StackWise cabling Cisco StackPower: Cisco proprietary power stacking cables Ethernet management port: RJ-45 connectors  4-pair Cat 5 UTP cabling Management console port: RJ-45-to-DB9 cable for PC connections
