Chapter13 Managing Cisco CSR 1000V Licenses
Managing Technology Package and Throughput Licenses
•If you are using an evaluation license, the maximum throughput is initially limited to 2.5 Mbps. You
must enter the platform hardware throughput level command to increase the maximum
throughput to the supported level. When the 60-day evaluation license expires, the maximum
throughput level reverts to 2.5 Mbps.
Once activated, the evaluation license provides a default maximum throughput of 50 Mbps.
Note (Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S and higher) You must enter the license boot level command to
enable the evaluation license. See the “Changing the Technology Package License Boot Level
(Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S and Later)” section on page 13-2.
•If you want to reduce the maximum throughput level from the maximum permitted by the installed
licenses. For example, if you have the 50-Mbps license installed and you want to reduce the
maximum throughput to 25 Mbps. You must enter the platform hardware throughput level
command to reduce the maximum throughput.
•If you previously changed the maximum throughput using the platform hardware throughput
level command. When you enter the command, it becomes part of the configuration file. You must
enter the command again to change the maximum throughput level.
When changing the maximum throughput level, you do not need to reboot the Cisco CSR 1000V for the
change to take effect. If you try to increase the throughput level higher than what the installed license
supports, you will receive an error message. For more information on the maximum throughput level and
how the router limits throughput based on the installed license, see the “License-Based Restriction on
Aggregate Bandwidth” section on page13-6.
Note that changing the maximum throughput level for a license is limited to the technology package
license that is installed. For example, if you have a Standard technology license, you can increase the
maximum throughput level to another Standard technology license only.
Changing the Maximum Throughput Level
The license must be activated and the EULA accepted before changing the maximum throughput level.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. enable
2. show platform hardware throughput level
3. configure terminal
4. Choose one of the following:
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S and later (throughput options vary by release version):
platform hardware throughput level MB
{10 | 100 | 1000 | 250 | 2500 | 50 | 500 | 5000}
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.9S:
platform hardware throughput level
{10000 | 25000 | 50000 | eval-only}
5. exit
6. show platform hardware throughput level
