Chapter 6 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router License Verification
Configuring the Throughput Level
Use the show running-config command or the show startup-config command to view the license-level
information. The following example displays sample output from the show running-config command:
Router# show running-config
.
.
.
license boot level adventerprise
.
.
.
Configuring the Throughput Level
The built-in embedded service processor of the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router supports throughputs of 2.5
Gbps (default), 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 20 Gbps depending upon the software license.
You can upgrade the throughput of the ESP from 2.5 Gbps (default) to 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 20 Gbps by
applying a software-activated performance upgrade license and then reloading the router. You can
upgrade the throughput of the ESP from any license level to another.
To determine the current throughput level of the ESP, run the show platform hardware throughput
level command. The following example shows the output from this command after you apply the 20
Gbps performance upgrade license and reload the router:
Router# show platform hardware throughput level
The current throughput level is 2000000 kb/s
After the router is reloaded, the log messages at the router startup will display the license-level and
throughput-level information, for example:
%IOS_LICENSE_IMAGE_APPLICATION-6-LICENSE_LEVEL: Module name = asr1001x Next reboot level
= adventerprise and License = adventerprise
%IOSXE_THROUGHPUT-6-LEVEL: Throughput level has been set to 20000000 kbps
The following message will be displayed once every 24 hours if the traffic handled by the
system-forwarding plane approaches or exceeds the configured throughput license level. The configured
throughput level in this example is 20 Gbps:
Exceeding 95% threshold:
*May 24 09:42:41.687 EDT: %BW_LICENSE-5-THROUGHPUT_THRESHOLD_LEVEL: F0: cpp_ha: Average
throughput rate exceeded 95 percent of licensed bandwidth 20000000000 bps 25 times, sample
period 300 seconds, in last 24 hours
Exceeding total bw:
*May 24 09:42:41.687 EDT: %BW_LICENSE-4-THROUGHPUT_MAX_LEVEL: F0: cpp_ha: Average
throughput rate exceeded the total licensed bandwidth 20000000000 bps and dropped 8 times,
sample period 300 seconds, in last 24 hours
