CSRv1k trial licensing

Adding a trial license on Cisco Service Router CSRv1k


Without license, CSR1k is limited to 100 kb/s. Here is the memo to add a trial license which I got on Cisco's internal site.

Step1: Check throughput


CSR1k-2#show platform hardware throughput level 

The current throughput level is 100 kb/s


Step2: Check licenses


CSR1k-3#show license
<snip>

Index 30 Feature: ax_200G                        

        License Type: Permanent

        Start Date:         N/A, End Date: Dec 07 2023

        License State: Inactive

        License Count: Non-Counted

        License Priority: Medium

<snip>             


Step3: Check licenses - SN and UDI


CSR1k-3#show license udi 

SlotID   PID                    SN                      UDI

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*        CSR1000V              9JHVHJ6F2xx     CSR1000V:9JHVHJ6Fxxx



Step4: Apply a trial license

CSR1k-3#license install ftp://192.168.1.76/trial3.lic
