Licenses
32-bit IOS-XR
Add a Perpetual License
On the chassis, find the appropriate license info. NOTE: You must be in admin mode to run this command:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#admin
Thu Mar 23 09:30:21.857 UTC
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(admin)#show license udi
Thu Mar 23 09:30:25.285 UTC
Local Chassis UDI Information:
PID : ASR-9904-AC
S/N : FOXXXXXXXXX
Operation ID: 0
The PID and SN are needed to redeem the PAK.
SCP the file to the router.
Add the license (still in admin mode):
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(admin)#license add disk0a:/usr/FOXXXXXXXXX_20170323113900442.lic
Thu Mar 23 09:41:34.745 UTC
Info: License add successful for feature(s): "A9K-200G-IVRF"
License command "license add disk0a:/usr/FOXXXXXXXXX_20170323113900442.lic sdr Owner " completed successfully.
Apply a Perpetual License
Verify the license is available:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#show license available
Thu Mar 23 09:51:27.512 UTC
FeatureID: A9K-200G-IVRF (Slot based, Permanent)
Total licenses 1
Status: Available 1
Pool: Owner
Total licenses in pool: 1
Status: Available 1
If this license is slot-based (and it is in this case), find the slot number for the card:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#show inventory
Thu Mar 23 09:50:35.761 UTC
....
NAME: "module 0/0/CPU0", DESCR: "200G Modular Linecard, Packet Transport Optimized"
PID: A9K-MOD200-TR, VID: V01, SN: FOC2035NWJV
....
In this case we know that we need 0/0/CPU0.
Drop into admin mode and apply the license to the slot:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)#license A9K-200G-IVRF location 0/0/CPU0
Commit the change.
NOTE: The license will not show active until 5 interfaces have been configured in separate VRFs. If fewer than five VRFs will be used, configuring dummy VRFs and rolling the configuration back will suffice.
