Hi,
I'm looking at the ES20+ cards for 7600s and I am confused by
the licensing options. There are two license options 76-ES+BASIC and
76-ES+ADVIP. Do I need to purchase one of these two options for each
ES20+ card or is it possible to run the card without either license? Is
each license linked to a specific card? Do I just purchase enough
licenses to cover the cards I have in use and forget about it? Are the
licenses each linked to a specific card's serial number? What happens
if I rma the ES20+ card? Would I have to get the old card's license
associated with the new rma'd card?
I see that Layer 3 IP/MPLS VPN requires the 76-ES+ADVIP license.
I figure that means as soon as I put 'vrf forwarding test' on an ES20+
interface and pass some traffic over it the 76-ES+ADVIP license is
required. Am I correct about that?
Thanks in advance,
Andy Webster
