Appendix F MPSM Licensing
MPSM Licensing Information
• You need to have MPSM licenses that are in an alarm state rekeyed.
Note You can purchase MGX systems, spares, and MPSM licenses from www.cisco.com, specifically,
http://www.cisco.com/order/apollo/configureHome.html.
Tip Licensed services are new for MGX switches. Although available licenses are summarized in
Table F-1, please read this whole appendix to become familiar with the terms and processes used for
MPSM licensing. For example, if your shelf goes into Node License Alarm, you will have a 5-day
grace period in which to recover licenses without interrupting service. After you read this whole
appendix, you will be comfortable with the licensing and rekeying process. If you need additional
assistance, please contact [e-mail].
Table F-1 lists the MPSM licenses that can be purchased for the MPSM cards.
