I am trying to figure out Cisco's licensing when it comes
to universal images. I have a Cisco 2921 price router that I am about to implement but need
some clarification. I need to be able to participate in OSPF routing and to use
the EHWIC-4ESG (4 port L2) card.
The router I have has the IP Base, SEC and UC packages
enabled. Now this should work for OSPF according to what I have read, but I am
concerned about L2 ports. According to cisco.com the DATA package includes
Data features found in SP Services and Enterprise Services
IOS image on ISR 1800,2800 and 3800 e.g. MPLS, BFD, RSVP ,L2VPN, L2TPv3 ,LAYER
2 LOCAL SWITCHING , Mobile IP, Multicast Authentication,FHRP-GLBP ,IP SLAs, PfR
,DECnet, RSRB, BIP, DLSw+, FRAS, Token Ring ,ISL, IPX ,STUN, SNTP, SDLC, QLLC
etc.
The part that throws me there in 'Layer 2 Local
Switching', does that mean I can not do any switching on the EHWIC unless I
have the data license? This doesnt make sense.
Well answered my own question by testing the
configuration. It does not appear to impact the switch module. So I am not sure
what that is referring to in the Data licensing. Maybe only the Cisco 2901-SEC Router ports?
