1   Enabling Licensed Features

1.1   Software Licensing

Certain features and functions that are supported in the SmartEdge router require a paid software license. To make use of one of these features or functions, you must enable it with a password that is provided when that license fee is paid. Each feature or function requires its own unique password.

Note:  
IPv6 subscriber licenses are supported on the following SmartEdge routers only:

Note:  
An individual dual-stack subscriber session requires one IPv4 license and one IPv6 license. Those IPv4 and IPv6 licenses are consumed at the time of authentication, whether subscribers are authenticated locally or through RADIUS. The licenses are not returned to the license pool until the entire subscriber session for both stacks (IPv4and IPv6) is down. For example, if the IPv4 session for a dual-stack subscriber goes down while the IPv6 session remains active, the IPv4 license is not returned to the license pool until the IPv6 session goes down, at which time both licenses (IPv4 and IPv6) are returned to the pool.

To enable software licensing for one or more of these features and functions, perform the tasks described in Table 1.

1.2   How to Enable Software Licensing

The following example enables the features and functions for paid license features and functions; a unique password is required for each feature or function to be enabled:

[local]Redback#configure
[local]Redback(config)#software license

!Enable L2TP
[local]Redback(config-license)#l2tp lns password l2tp-password

!Enable MPLS
[local]Redback(config-license)#mpls password mpls-password

!Enable up to 32,000 active IPv4 subscribers
[local]Redback(config-license)#subscriber active 32000 password 
sub-active32-password
!Enable up to 64,000 active IPv6 subscribers
[local]Redback(config-license)#subscriber active ipv6  64000 sub-active-ipv6-password

!Enable ATM dynamic profiles, CLIPS dynamic circuits, HTTP redirect, RADIUS refresh
[local]Redback(config-license)#subscriber dynamic-service password  
sub-dynamic-password

!Enable hitless switchover for subscriber sessions
[local]Redback(config-license)#subscriber high-availability password 
sub-high-password
