This functionality of backing up the license is kind of… you know, for me it’s not really a backing up in the true, strictest sense of the word because it’s still just local to the chassis. So not only does that provide us with the permanent licenses we have but also the evaluation licenses and the time period remaining on them. If we want to verify how much time is left in this evaluation license, we can verify that using the show licenses command as well. This is the paradigm and predicament we can get ourselves into on a lot of different chassis. It’s better to, you know, be relatively reactionary and go oh, you know, I can’t do that right now than to have it work and then stop working because a licensed feature has died because it was an evaluation. But don’t put it into production because that’s really going to burn you. You can lab this up with these evaluations. Whatever you do, don’t do this for production gear. In this case, this is looking to me like we are installing a unified communications evaluation license here as well. So license boot module in order for us to activate that particular evaluation license, and typically, we’re dealing with a 30-day evaluation license.

Cisco does have the ability to utilize evaluation licenses, a slightly different command as you can see here for that license. Evaluation license installationĬan we try out a feature set before we decide to purchase the real deal? Yes. So I can do things like work as an IP telephony gateway, and then I’m going to reload, and I’m going to do that show license again to see exactly what licenses are running on the chassis. But in any case, this is a permanent one and we’re basically to say, “Hey, I got this license here you go.” And what does it look like? Looks like unified communications, so to me this looks like a VoIP license that I’m installing inside of my chassis.
Sometimes, they’re cumulative, sometimes they’re not. Some licenses do have a certain amount of time and you have to be mindful of the way the time works in some of the licensing environments too.

We also want to back them up too, right? But get them installed in Flash, but just their existence in Flash does not suffice to install license. We do need to get these license files installed in Flash. CBAC being a security thing, but you got the idea. But this would go through all of these different packages, show us the licenses, and then that might explain why, hey, I can’t configure Context-Based Access Control, or CBAC, on my router. It’s just the base, I’m looking here, and I don’t see that the security package is active and the rest of it is omitted. Right now, what do we have currently active on this device in use? So here we can see that example looking at the output of show license. So when you purchase your device you just have this one IOS image, but then you unlock the different features by paying for the licenses for those different features. Some security features, VPNs, Internet Protocol Security, or IPsec, firewall support? Got to pay for that as well. What about voice over IP, or VoIP? Got to get the license for that. So do I want to provide some MPLS support? I have to get the license for that. But from there, this is where we purchased those licenses. And once this universal image is on our device, what does it have? Well by default, it’s going to have the base image, base image comes with it. We have this universal image, which replaces everything that we had before.

Security, different service provider (SP) services, or full load enterprise services, you purchased the OS you needed. We want to add voice, let’s grab IP Voice. All right, we just need basic functionality, let’s grab the bottom one. Not specifically, this exact set of operating systems because they have evolved over time. So back in the days when we started, this is what we had available to us. And so we have to be mindful of this elevated management workflow that is now our burden, our responsibility, as the people who interface with these router chassis. You got things like unity, you have Call Manager Express, we’re going to be doing this sort of thing. For instance, I want to do Voice over IP, or VoIP. This is going to allow us to get a license and that license is then applied, installed in the chassis, and that gives us a feature. We’ve got to get a Product Activation Key, or PAK, that we load into our chassis that is based on a feature that we have purchased, okay. Here’s the thing you need to understand, we’re now going to have an operating system that can pretty much do it all, but does that mean we can do it all? No.
