Managing the Throughput Level Licenses

When you first install the Cisco CSR 1000V, the network ports are active, but the throughput is limited to 2.5 Mbps. Once you have installed and activated the base performance license (including accepting the EULA), the throughput on the network ports will increase to the supported level.

Note If your license expires or becomes invalid, the maximum throughput automatically reverts to the 2.5-Mbps default.

For information about installing and activating the software licenses using Cisco Software Licensing (CSL), see the Software Activation Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Release 3S. For the list of available license SKUs, see the Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router Release Notes.

Depending on the configuration and the licenses installed, you may need to manually increase or decrease the maximum throughput level on the Cisco CSR 1000V. The default maximum throughput on the router before the license is activated, or if the license is invalidated, is 2.5 Mbps. When you install the base subscription license and accept the EULA, the maximum throughput on the Cisco CSR 1000V will increase to the level allowed by the license.

You may need to manually change the maximum throughput level in the following cases:
