On-Demand Port Activation License Example

The following example shows how to do the following tasks:

If you do not want to accept the default behavior, or you need flexibility in terms of which ports acquire

a license, you may want to make a port ineligible. For example, if the first eight ports have a license, but

you want to move a license from port 7 to port 9, then you would need to make a port ineligible. Or, if

you have a port that should never acquire a license, you can make it ineligible and it will not be a

candidate for a license when additional licenses are installed.

This example is based on the default configuration for the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch.

Display the default port license configuration.

switch# show port-license

Available port activation licenses are 0

Install an additional license package. See

information about how to obtain and install the PORT_ACTIVATION_PKG and license key file.

switch# install license bootflash:license_file.lic

Installing license ..done

If you provide a target name for the license key file, the file is installed with the specified name.

Otherwise, the filename specified in the license key file is used to install the license.
