Assign a Base License to an IOC module slot

The system validates the number of license entitlements against the IOC modules present and assigns the licenses sequentially to the I/O slots, starting from slot 1 to slot 8.

If you install a module in a slot that has a license assigned and later, when the module is moved to another slot that does not have a license assigned, you can reassign the license to the new slot by using the license-grant command.

Note

This procedure only applies to VSP 8600 Series.

1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

   enable

   configure terminal

2. Load the license on the slot and enable the ports on the IOC module:

   license-grant slot {slot[-slot][,...]}

3. Release the license from a slot:

   no license-grant slot {slot[-slot][,...]}

Example

Load the license on the specified slot and enable the ports on the IOC module:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch:1(config)#license-grant slot 2
License granted for slot: 2
Switch:1(config)#
