Right to Use Licenses

The introduction of right-to-use (RTU) licensing allows you to order and activate a specific license type and level via command line. Uploading an extra license file is no longer necessary.

LanBase images provide basic Layer2 functionality, including:

■QOS

■Port-Security

■1588 PTP

■EtherNet/IP

■Profinet

IPService: L3 routing features:

■RIP

■OSPF

■ISIS BGP

■Policy-based routing

■IPV6

Defaults

The default license is a lanbase RTU permanent license.

Configuring RTU Licenses

To configure RTU Licenses, follow these guidelines.

Displaying License Information

To determine which license is running on your device, do the following:

■Enter the show version privileged EXEC command. The first line of output indicates the image, such as LANBASE.

■Enter the show license privileged EXEC command, to see which is the active image:

ipservices license

To activate a Permanent Right-To-Use ipservices license, use the following command:

IE5000#license right-to-use activate ipservices

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY. INSTALLING THE LICENSE OR

LICENSE KEY PROVIDED FOR ANY CISCO PRODUCT FEATURE OR USING SUCH

PRODUCT FEATURE CONSTITUTES YOUR FULL ACCEPTANCE OF THE FOLLOWING

TERMS. YOU MUST NOT PROCEED FURTHER IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE BOUND

BY ALL THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN.

Use of this product feature requires an additional license from Cisco, together

with an additional payment. You may use this product feature subject to the

Cisco end user license agreement

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html,

together with any supplements relating to such product feature.

It is your responsibility to make payment to Cisco for your use of the

product feature if not already licensed to do so. Your acceptance

of this agreement for the software features on one product shall be deemed

your acceptance with respect to all such software on all Cisco products you

purchase which includes the same software. (The foregoing notwithstanding, you must

purchase a license for each software feature you use, so that if you enable

a software feature on 1000 devices, you must purchase 1000 licenses for use.)

This license may be transferrable from another Cisco device of the same model

for the same functionality if such license already is owned.

Activation of the software command line interface will be evidence of your acceptance

of this agreement.

ACCEPT? (yes/[no]): yes

Activated Permanent Right-To-Use ipservices license

Ease-of-Deployment and Ease-of-Use Features

■Express Setup for quickly configuring a switch for the first time with basic IP information, contact information, switch and Telnet passwords, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) information through a browser-based program.

■User-defined and Cisco-default Smartports macros for creating custom switch configurations for simplified deployment across the network.

■A removable SD flash card that stores the Cisco IOS software image and configuration files for the switch. You can replace and upgrade the switch without reconfiguring the software features.

■An embedded Device Manager GUI for configuring and monitoring a single switch through a web browser. For more information about Device Manager, see the switch online help.

Performance Features

■Autosensing of port speed and autonegotiation of duplex mode on all switch ports for optimizing bandwidth

■Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) capability on 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Mb/s interfaces and on 10/100/1000 BASE-TX SFP module interfaces that enables the interface to automatically detect the required cable connection type (straight-through or crossover) and to configure the connection appropriately

■Support for up to 1546 bytes routed frames, up to 9000 bytes for frames that are bridged in hardware, and up to 2000 bytes for frames that are bridged by software

■IEEE 802.3x flow control on all ports (the switch does not send pause frames)

■Support for up to 10 EtherChannel groups

■Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for automatic creation of EtherChannel links

■Per-port storm control for preventing broadcast, multicast, and unicast storms

■Port blocking on forwarding unknown Layer 2 unknown unicast, multicast, and bridged broadcast traffic

■Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) server support and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping for IGMP Versions 1, 2, and 3:

–(For CGMP devices) CGMP for limiting multicast traffic to specified end stations and reducing overall network traffic

–(For IGMP devices) IGMP snooping for forwarding multimedia and multicast traffic

■IGMP report suppression for sending only one IGMP report per multicast router query to the multicast devices (supported only for IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 queries)

■IGMP snooping querier support to configure switch to generate periodic IGMP general query messages

■IGMP helper to allow the switch to forward a host request to join a multicast stream to a specific IP destination address

■IGMP filtering for controlling the set of multicast groups to which hosts on a switch port can belong

■IGMP throttling for configuring the action when the maximum number of entries is in the IGMP forwarding table

■IGMP leave timer for configuring the leave latency for the network

■Switch Database Management (SDM) templates for allocating system resources to maximize support for user-selected features such as lanbase-routing, ipv6 routing.

■Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs), a part of Cisco IOS software that uses active traffic monitoring for measuring network performance

■Configurable small-frame arrival threshold to prevent storm control when small frames (64 bytes or less) arrive on an interface at a specified rate (the threshold)

■FlexLink Multicast Fast Convergence to reduce the multicast traffic convergence time after a FlexLink failure

■RADIUS server load balancing to allow access and authentication requests to be distributed evenly across a server group

■Support for QoS marking of CPU-generated traffic and queue CPU-generated traffic on the egress network ports

Management Options

■An embedded Device Manager—Device Manager is a GUI application that is integrated in the software image. You use it to configure and to monitor a single switch. For more information about Device Manager, see the switch online help.

■Network Assistant—Network Assistant is a network management application that can be downloaded from Cisco.com. You use it to manage a single switch, a cluster of switches, or a community of devices. For more information about Network Assistant, see Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant, available at software.cisco.com/download/.

■Prime Infrastructure—Cisco Prime Infrastructure simplifies the management of wireless and wired networks. It offers Day 0 and 1 provisioning, as well as Day N assurance from the branch to the data center. We call it One Management. With this single view and point of control, you can reap the benefits of One Management across both network and compute.

■CLI—The Cisco IOS software supports desktop- and multilayer-switching features. You can access the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by using Telnet from a remote management station.

■SNMP—SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks2000 LAN Management Suite (LMS) and HP OpenView. You can manage from an SNMP-compatible management station that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions and four remote monitoring (RMON) groups. For more information about using SNMP, see Configuring SNMP

■Cisco IOS Configuration Engine (previously known as the Cisco IOS CNS agent)—Configuration service automates the deployment and management of network devices and services. You can automate initial configurations and configuration updates by generating switch-specific configuration changes, sending them to the switch, executing the configuration change, and logging the results.

For more information about CNS, see Configuring Cisco IOS Configuration Engine

Industrial Application

■CIP—Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is a peer-to-peer application protocol that provides application level connections between the switch and industrial devices such as I/O controllers, sensors, relays, and so forth.You can manage the switch using RSlogix/RSlinx then monitor the CIP functionality via IOS command lines or Web based Device Manager.

■Profinet Version 2—Support for PROFINET IO, a modular communication framework for distributed automation applications. The embedded Profinet GSD file allows user to bring up Cisco IE switch using Siemens STEP7 or TIA Portal software then monitor the functionality via command line or Web based Device Manger.
