Appendix F MPSM Licensing
MPSM Licensing Information
Licenses are installed on the PXM card and form a pool of licenses that is managed by the PXM
controller. Licenses are authorized for a specific backplane serial number. (You cannot move licensed
PXM cards to different chassis without sending the node into an alarm state.) The licenses can then be
allocated to specific slots. When an MPSM card is provisioned, the licenses required for that
configuration are allocated to that slot.
Note
Redundant cards require the same licenses as the primary cards they protect. For 1:N redundancy, a
redundant card needs one of each type of licence used by the primary cards it protects.
The PXM CLI command, cnflic, can be used to add licenses to the PXM license pool or to transfer
licenses from other nodes. The cnflic command gets license information using the encrypted key that
was generated by the
License Keycutter application
on a Cisco server when the license was purchased
The MPSM CLI command, movlic, moves licenses from the MPSM card to the PXM license pool.
Additional commands for managing licenses are dsplicalms, dspliccd, dspliccds, dsplicnodeid, and
dsplics. These commands are described in procedures contained in this manual, and explained in greater
detail in the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM45/PXM1E), Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX
8880 Command Reference, Release 5, at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wanbu/8850px45/rel5/cmdref/index.htm.
MPSM licenses enable the optional MPSM features listed in
. These features are enabled
whenever a feature license is available in the license pool.
These licenses can be installed in the PXM license pool. In a shelf, there may be different MPSM cards
that can support the licensed services and features. Licenses for one type of card cannot be used on
another type of card. For the MPSM-T3E3-155 card, if no license is allocated to the service module, only
the default single service functionality is available on that service module.
