A network engineer is deploying Cisco 9130I APs on multiple Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 WLCs with Cisco Catalyst Center. The engineer must enable Cisco AI Analytics and location analytics to use the RRM features to automatically manage the WLC RF profiles. Which type of license must be used on Cisco Catalyst Center?
Cisco Catalyst Center's AI-driven network management capabilities --- including AI Analytics, AI-Enhanced RRM (Radio Resource Management), location analytics (DNA Spaces integration), and automated RF profile management --- are exclusively available under the Catalyst Advantage license tier. The Advantage tier builds upon the Essentials tier and adds access to the full suite of AI/ML-powered assurance and optimization features. Specifically, AI-Enhanced RRM leverages machine learning models trained on historical RF telemetry to predict and prevent RF issues, dynamically adjust channel and power assignments, and automate RF profile selection --- capabilities that cannot be activated without the Advantage license. Location analytics through Catalyst Center integrates with Cisco Spaces to provide real-time client location tracking, asset tracking, and spatial analytics. Catalyst Essentials (Option C) provides basic device management, software image management, and network plug-and-play provisioning --- it does not include AI Analytics or advanced RRM automation. Right-To-Use (Option B) is a legacy licensing model not applicable to Catalyst Center. SNTC SmartNet (Option D) is a support and maintenance contract, not a software feature license.
