Smart Licensing

This chapter describes the smart licensing configuration on Cisco NCS 1010.

Understanding Smart Licensing

Smart Licensing is a cloud-based, software license management solution that enables you to automate time-consuming, manual licensing tasks. The solution allows you to easily track the status of your license and software usage trends.

Smart Licensing helps you simplify three core functions:

  • Purchasing: The software that you have installed in your network can be registered, without Product Activation Keys (PAKs).

  • Management: You can automatically track activations against your license entitlements. Also, there is no need to install the license file on every node. You can create license pools (logical grouping of licenses) to reflect your organization structure. Smart Licensing offers you Cisco Smart Software Manager, a centralized portal that enables you to manage all your Cisco software licenses from one centralized website.

  • Reporting: Through the portal, Smart Licensing offers an integrated view of the licenses you have purchased and what has been deployed in your network. You can use this data to make better purchasing decisions, based on your consumption.

Smart Licensing Features

  • Your device initiates a call home and requests the licenses it needs.

  • Pooled licenses - Licenses are company account-specific, and can be used with any compatible device in your company. You can activate or deactivate different types of licenses on the device without actually installing a license file on the device.

  • Licenses are stored securely on Cisco servers.

  • Licenses can be moved between product instances without license transfer. This greatly simplifies the reassignment of a software license as part of the Return Material Authorization (RMA) process.

  • It provides a complete view of all the Smart Software Licenses used in the network using a consolidated usage report of software licenses and devices in one easy-to-use portal.

Cisco Smart Account

Cisco Smart Account is an account where all products enabled for Smart Licensing are deposited. Cisco Smart Account allows you to manage and activate your licenses to devices, monitor license use, and track Cisco license purchases. Through transparent access, you have a real-time view into your Smart Licensing products. IT administrators can manage licenses and account users within your organization's Smart Account through the Smart Software Manager.

When creating a Smart Account, you must have the authority to represent the requesting organization. After you submit the request, it goes through a brief approval process. Access http://software.cisco.com to learn about, set up, or manage Smart Accounts.

Cisco Smart Software Manager enables you to manage all your Cisco Smart software licenses from one centralized website. With Cisco Smart Software Manager, you organize and view your licenses in groups called virtual accounts (collections of licenses and product instances). Use the Cisco Smart Software Manager to do the following tasks:

  • Create, manage, or view virtual accounts.

  • Create and manage Product Instance Registration Tokens.

  • Transfer licenses between virtual accounts or view licenses.

  • Transfer, remove, or view product instances.

  • Run reports against your virtual accounts.

  • Modify your email notification settings.

  • View overall account information.

Virtual Accounts

A Virtual Account exists as a subaccount tithing the Smart Account. Virtual Accounts are a customer-defined structure based on organizational layout, business function, geography, or any defined hierarchy. They are created and maintained by the Smart Account administrator. Smart Licencing allows you to create multiple license pools or virtual accounts within the Smart Software Manager portal. Using the Virtual Accounts option that you can aggregate licenses into discrete bundles that are associated with a cost center so that one section of an organization cannot use the licenses of another section of the organization. For example, if you segregate your company into different geographic regions, you can create a virtual account for each region to hold the licenses and product instances for that region.

All new licenses and product instances are placed in the default virtual account in the Smart Software Manager, unless you specify a different one during the order process. After you access the default account, you may choose to transfer them to any other account, provided you have the required access permissions.

Use the Smart Software Manager portal to create license pools or transfer licenses.

Product Instance Registration Tokens

A product requires a registration token until you have registered the product. On successful registration, the device receives an identity certificate. This certificate is saved and automatically used for all future communications with Cisco. Registration tokens are stored in the Product Instance Registration Token Table that is associated with your enterprise account. Registration tokens can be valid 1–365 days.

Product Instances

A product instance is an individual device with a unique device identifier (UDI) that is registered using a product instance registration token (or registration token). You can register any number of instances of a product with a single registration token. Each product instance can have one or more licenses residing in the same virtual account. Product instances must periodically connect to the Cisco Smart Software Manager servers during a specific renewal period. If you remove the product instance, its licenses are released and made available within the virtual account.

Smart Licensing Work Flow

The following figure depicts a working model of smart licensing that involves a three-step procedure.

Figure 1. Smart Licensing Work Flow


  1. Setting up Smart Licensing: You can place the order for Smart Licensing, to manage licenses on the Cisco.com portal. You agree to the terms and conditions governing the use and access of Smart Licensing in the Smart Software Manager portal.

  2. Enabling and Use Smart Licensing: Smart Licensing is enabled by default. You can use either of the following options to communicate:

    • Smart Call Home: The Smart Call Home feature is automatically configured when Smart Licensing is enabled. Smart Call Home is used by Smart Licensing as a medium for communication with the Cisco license service. Call Home feature allows Cisco products to periodically call-home and perform an audit and reconciliation of your software usage information. This information helps Cisco efficiently track your install base, keep them up and running, and effectively pursue service and support contract renewals. For more information on Smart Call Home feature, see http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/smart_call_home/SCH_Deployment_Guide.pdf.

  3. Manage and Report Licenses: You can manage and view reports about your overall software usage in the Smart Software Manager portal. Compliance reporting describes the types of Smart Licensing reports.

Benefits of Smart Licensing

  • Licenses are not locked to perform configurations using Cisco NCS 1010 even if the license limit exceeds the paid license limit. You are notified with out-of-compliance notification to buy additional licenses when the license limit exceeds the paid license limit. This saves time with the ability to transfer licenses across the organization.

  • Licenses can be pooled across the entire organization, enabling them to be reused across organizational boundaries.

  • Provides software asset management information so that you can plan and track the licenses.

License Entitlements of NCS 1010

Cisco NCS 1010 supports the Vortex model for smart licensing software, and has the following Essential and Advantage licenses:

  • ILA Essentials—One per ILA card (Maximum one license)

  • OLT Essentials—One per WSS port per OLT card (Maximum 32 licenses).

  • ILA Advantage—One per ILA card for Timing access and OTDR access features (Maximum1 license).

  • OLT Advantage—One per WSS port per OLT card for Timing access, OTDR access, Connection Verification features (Maximum 32 licenses)

With Nyquist channels enabled, for each cross connection that is created on a port, one Essentials license and one Advantage license are consumed.

The following table lists the various licenses that can be enabled on Cisco NCS 1010.

Create a Token

To create a new token using Cisco Smart Software Manager, perform the following tasks:

Before you begin

Procedure

Step 1

Log in to the Cisco Smart Software Manager.

https://software.cisco.com/software/csws/ws/platform/home#SmartLicensing-Inventory

Step 2

Click the Inventory tab, and select your virtual account from the Virtual Account drop-down list.

Step 3

Click the General tab, and click New Token.

The Create Registration Token window is displayed.

Step 4

Enter the token description. Specify the number of days the token must be active.

Step 5

Check the Allow export-controlled functionality on the products registered with this token check box.

Step 6

Click Create Token.

Step 7

Copy the token and register NCS1010 with the same token ID.

An example of the token ID: YzY2ZjYyNjktY2NlOS00NTc4LWIxNTAtMjZkNmNiNzMxMTY1LTE2NjAzNjQ3 %0ANzY4Njl8ZVJSckxKN2pFV2tIeHVoMUkxbGxTazFDVm9kc1B5MGlHQmlFWUJi%0Ac3VNRT0%3D%0A

Configure Smart Licensing

To configure smart licensing in Cisco NCS 1010, perform the following steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Configure the domain name server for the smart license server.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure 
Sat Dec 15 15:25:14.385 IST
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#domain name-server 198.51.100.1

Step 2

Set up the CiscoTAC-1 profile and destination address for Smart Call Home, using the following commands:

call-home

service active

contact smart-licensing

profile CiscoTAC-1

active

destination address http {http|https}://{FQDN}/its/service/oddce/services/DDCEService

destination transport-method http

Note

 

FQDN must be either Cisco Smart Software Manager FQDN (tools.cisco.com) or Smart Licensing satellite server FQDN. You must configure the DNS server before setting-up the call-home destination address as FQDN. Use the domain name-server {DNS server IP} command to configure the DNS server on the device.

Example:


 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#domain name-server 198.51.100.1
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#call-home
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#service active
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#contact smart-licensing
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#profile CiscoTAC-1
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#active
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#destination address http https://tools.cisco.com/its/service/oddce/services/DDCEService
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#destination transport-method http

Note

 
CiscoTAC-1 profile is the default profile for smart licensing and it must not be deleted.

Step 3

Configure the crypto ca Trust point profile, if CRL distribution point is not defined in the Satellite server certificate or if the device is not able to reach the host mentioned in the CRL distribution point.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#crypto ca trustpoint Trustpool crl optional

Step 4

Create and copy the registration token ID using Cisco Smart Software Manager.

For more details about creating a token, see Create a Token.

Step 5

In the privileged EXEC mode, register the token ID in Cisco NCS 1010, using the following command:

license smart register idtoken token-ID

The registration may fail if the token is invalid or there is communication failure between the device and the portal. If there is a communication failure, there is a wait time of 24 hours before the device attempts to register again. To force the registration, use the license smart register idtoken token-ID force command.

When your device is taken off the inventory, shipped elsewhere for redeployment, or returned to Cisco for replacement using the return merchandise authorization (RMA) process, you can use the license smart deregister command to cancel the registration on your device. All smart licensing entitlements and certificates on the platform are removed.

ID certificates are renewed automatically after six months. In case, the renewal fails, the product instance goes into unidentified state. You can manually renew the ID certificate using the license smart renew id command.

Authorization periods are renewed by the Smart Licensing system every 30 days. As long as the license is in an 'Authorized' or 'Out-of-Compliance' (OOC), the authorization period is renewed. Use the license smart renew auth command to make an on-demand manual update of your registration. Thus, instead of waiting 30 days for the next registration renewal cycle, you can issue this command to instantly find out the status of your license.

After 90 days, the authorization period expires and the status of the associated licenses display "AUTH EXPIRED". Use the license smart renew auth command to retry the authorization period renewal. If the retry is successful, a new authorization period begins.

Configure Smart Transport

You can use the smart transport as an alternative option to Call Home, to connect to the CSSM. To configure smart transport in Cisco NCS 1010, perform the following steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Remove the Call Home configuration by deregistering the device.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#license smart deregister

Step 2

Configure smart transport registration:

Example:


 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#license smart transport smart
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#commit

Step 3

Restart the license process.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#process restart smartlicserver location 0/RP0/CPU0

Note

 

Use the process restart option only when you change between Call Home and Smart Transport options. It is not required when you configure Smart Transport at the time of fresh bring-up.

Step 4

Register the token ID in Cisco NCS 1010.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#license smart register ODZhNmQ4MjMtYWUzYS00Yjg5LTk5NjgtYmU1NTJkMW
NhMGM4LTE2OTQwNjcx%0AOTE2OTN8OUFVTmI2NUt0emVkUHVTallYdXVFWGx0R3dLSHZDNGFFa3RBVGFa%0AY095Yz0%3D%0A

Reserve Specific Licenses for NCS 1010

Specific License Reservation (SLR) lets you reserve a license for your product instance from the CSSM. To reserve specific licenses for NCS 1010, perform the following steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Deregister the device, if it was already registered for the license, using the license smart deregister command.

Example: 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:iso#license smart deregister
Thu Jul 19 13:33:30.048 UTC
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:iso# Jul 19 13:17:33.126 UTC: http_client[232] %SECURITY-XR_SSL-6-CERT_VERIFY_INFO : SSL Certificate verification:
 Certificate can be used for purpose it was meant to be 
License command "license smart deregister " completed successfully.

Step 2

Generate the request code using the license smart reservation request local command.

Example: 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:iso#license smart reservation request local 
Thu Jul 19 13:33:47.241 UTC

Enter this request code in the Cisco Smart Software Manager portal:
CB-ZNCS1010-SA:FCB2546B08T-BBTQDthRu-BA

Step 3

Use the generated code and generate the authorization code through Cisco Smart Software Manager. See Reserve Licenses Using Cisco Smart Software Manager.

Step 4

Enter the run command to launch the iso XR Linux bash shell.

Example: 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:iso#run

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:Jul 19 13:35:20.236: run_cmd[67213]: %INFRA-INFRA_MSG.5-RUN_LOGIN : User Cisco logged into shell from con0/RP0/CP0

Step 5

Create a file using the vim file name command.

Example: 

[node0_RP0_CPU0:~]$vim smart1

Step 6

Copy the authorization code in the file and type :wq to save and exit the file.

Step 7

Use the exit command to exit the shell.

Example:

[node0_RP0_CPU0:~]$exit
logout
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:Jul 19 13:45:21.146 UTC run-cmd[67213] %INFRA_MSG-5-LOGOUT : User cisco logged out of shell from con0/RP0/CPU0

Step 8

Install the authorization code using the license smart reservation install file command.

Example: 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:iso#license smart reservation install file /disk0:/smart1
Thu Jul 19 13:46:22.877 UTC
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:Jul 19 13:46:22.946 UTC: plat_sl_client[368]: %LICENSE-PLAT_CLIENT-6-STATE_CHANGE : Licensing platform state changing from UNREGISTERED to REGISTERED 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:Jul 19 13:46:22.946 UTC: smartlicserver[247]: %LICENSE-SMART_LIC-6-AGENT_REG_SUCCESS : Smart Agent for Licensing Registration successful. udi PID:NCS1010-SA,SN:FCB2546B08T 
Reservation install file successful
Last Confirmation code 8572aa81

Note

 

You can verify the number of reservations in the Cisco smart software manger portal and can view the product instance name changed to a UDI.

Step 9

Verify the udi using the show license udi command.

Example: 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:iso#show license udi
Thu Jul 19 13:43:19.731 UTC
UDI: PID:NCS1010-SA,SN:FCB2546B08T

Step 10

Verify the license reservation using the command show license status.

Procedure

Step 1

Deregister the device for which you want to release the licenses, and enable Flexible Consumption Model (FCM) (if not enabled)

Example: 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#smart license deregister
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#config
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#license smart flexible-consumption enable
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#end

Step 2

Generate the request code using the license smart reservation request local command.

Example: 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#license smart reservation request local
Fri Jul  1 07:11:56.541 UTC
Enter this request code in the Cisco Smart Software Manager portal:
CC-ZNCS1010-SA:FCB2530B11E-BBTQDthRu-BE

Step 3

Use the generated code and generate the authorization code through Cisco Smart Software Manager. See Reserve Licenses Using Cisco Smart Software Manager.

Note

 

While reserving licenses in CSSM, under the Select Licenses tab, enter the number of licenses only for the RTU licenses, and leave the number of licenses as 0 for SIA licenses.

Step 4

Enter the run command to launch the iso XR Linux bash shell.

Example: 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:iso#run

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:Jul 1 7:35:20.281: run_cmd[67213]: %INFRA-INFRA_MSG.5-RUN_LOGIN : User Cisco logged into shell from con0/RP0/CP0
