Appendix F MPSM Licensing
MPSM Licensing Information
The MGX chassis can ship with licenses already programmed on the MPSM cards. The MPSM card
registers these licenses with the chassis, creating a pool of licenses for the chassis. This pool of licenses
is stored on the PXM hard disk and is managed by the PXM controller.
Licenses are authorized for a specific backplane serial number, and then licenses are 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 8800/8900 Series Command Reference, Release 5.1, 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 Table F-2. These features are enabled
whenever a feature license is available in the license pool.
