Step 3
If you have not saved the running configurations for the Admin and user contexts
to a remote server, enter
n
. Go to Step
1
If you saved the running configurations for the Admin and user contexts to a
remote server, enter
y
.
During the license removal, the ACE removes the user context configurations
from the Admin running configuration, causing the deletion of all user contexts
including their running and startup configurations.
Step 4
Display the current number of supported contexts on the ACE by entering the
show license status
command in Exec mode of the Admin context.
Step 5
Determine which contexts you want to keep in the Admin running configuration.
Using a text editor, manually remove the extra context configurations from the
Admin running configuration on the remote server.
If the Admin running configuration contains more contexts than what the ACE
supports and you copy this configuration to the ACE, the ACE rejects contexts
that exceed the supported limit. For example, if the running configuration
contains 20 contexts, when you remove the license, the ACE supports five
contexts. If you attempt to copy the configuration with all 20 contexts, the ACE
allows the first five contexts, fails the remaining contexts, and displays error
messages on the console.
Note
You can also manually recreate the user contexts in the running configuration that
is currently on the ACE. If you do, go to Step
7
Step 6
Retrieve the modified Admin running configuration from the remote server. For
example, to copy the R-CONFIG-ADM Admin running configuration from the
TFTP server, enter:
host1/Admin#
copy tftp://192.168.1.2/R-CONFIG-ADM running-config
