Entering a Throughput License

The method for entering licenses on the ETEP depends on your management software:

For ETEPs that are managed exclusively through the command line, follow the procedure in this section.

For EncrypTight Manager deployments, throughput licenses must be managed with the EncrypTight Manager software. Licenses entered from the CLI are not recognized as valid in a EncrypTight Manager deployment. See the EncrypTight Manager User Guide for more information.

Each ETEP is capable of transmitting traffic at a range of speeds that varies by model. When you install the license you purchased, ETEPs transmit traffic at the speed specified by the license.Table 23 lists the available speeds for each ETEP model.

Table 23

ETEP Throughput Speeds

 

 

 

Model

 

Available Throughput

ET0010A

 

3, 6, 10, 25, 50 Mbps

ET0100A

 

25, 50, 75, 100, 155, 250 Mbps

ET1000A

 

100, 155, 250, 500, 650 Mbps, 1 Gbps

ET10000A

 

500, 650 Mbps, 1, 2.5, 5, 10 Gbps

 

 

 

You need to install a license on each ETEP that you use. Licenses are linked to the serial number of the ETEP on which they are installed. You cannot install a license intended for one ETEP on a different ETEP.

If you upgrade from a command line-only installation to a full EncrypTight Manager deployment, you can no longer use the command line-only license and must acquire a license for EncrypTight Manager.

To add a license from the command line:

1At the command prompt, type configure to enter configuration mode.

2At the config> prompt, type license <string>, where string is the license provided by Customer Support. The license is case sensitive. Enter the license exactly as provided. It will look something like this: 1:0:0508C482:10:258482fab2
