Port Licensing
The Cisco Software License Activation feature is a set of processes and components to activate Cisco IOS-XE
software feature sets by obtaining and validating fee-based Cisco software licenses.You should enable the
license only for OCx ports. License is not required for the ports 0-15 (DSx ports).
You should associate a required license to a port. Many licenses can be configured for a port. Only one license
can be associated with a port as only one rate can be configured at a time. Other licenses are not required
unless rate is changed frequently.
No license is enabled on the port by default. Same port license (OC-3 or OC-12) can be used for Legacy OC-3
IM. A port can be enabled with any one of the following license types:
• OC-3
• OC-12
• OC-48
On each IM, OCx port can be configured on ports 16-19. For example, a maximum of four OC-3 ports can
be configured on ports 16-19. A maximum of four OC-12 ports can be configured on ports 16-19. A maximum
of one OC-48 port can be configured on ports 16-19.
