Appendix B Chassis Universal License Requirements; License Types - Cisco ASR 5500 Installation Manual

Chassis Universal License Requirements
This appendix describes the requirements for "universal" licenses that support Management I/O Universal
(UMIO) and Data Processing Universal (UDPC/UDPC2) card types. It also explores UMIO and UDPC/UDPC2
behavior in non-universal chassis or in chassis with a mix of non-universal MIOs and DPC/DPC2s, and
UMIOs and UDPC/UDPC2s.

License Types

A chassis software license that enables universal card support is required when UMIOs and/or UDPC/UDPC2s
are installed. This license also specifies the maximum number of UDPC/UDPC2s that can run on the chassis
at the same time. Both active and standby UDPC/UDPC2s are counted against the maximum UDPC/UDPC2
limit.
Important
The system automatically prevents a UDPC/UDPC2 from running if the maximum number of UDPC/UDPC2s
specified by the chassis license has been reached. If the maximum number of UDPC/UDPC2s are running
and there are additional UDPC/UDPC2s in the system, the system will automatically run another UDPC/UDPC2
only when one of the currently running UDPC/UDPC2s goes offline or restarts. However, the system will
not bring down currently active UDPC/UDPC2s due to an insufficient number of UDPC/UDPC2s specified
in the license.
Contact your Cisco account representative for detailed information regarding ASR 5500 license
requirements.

UDPCs and UDPC2s must never be mixed in the same chassis. Data processing cards must all be of the
same type in a chassis. UDPC2s require StarOS Release 18.2+.
