Configuring ATM Over MPLS Trunks
ATMoMPLS Trunk Licensing
How the ATMoMPLS License Works
The ATMoMPLS license key is:
• Based on the number of switches, not the number of ATMoMPLS trunks
The number of licensed ATMoMPLS instances in your network is counted on a
per-switch basis. For example, a license for up to 25 switches enables you to use
one NMS to configure unlimited ATMoMPLS trunks on up to 25 distinct
switches. Whether you configure one or many ATMoMPLS trunks on a switch,
each switch still counts as one for licensing purposes.
Licenses are available for maximums of 25, 50, 100, and 1000 switches. Each
license key can be deployed on one NMS, and enables you to set up an unlimited
number of ATMoMPLS trunks, configured on multiple switches up to the
maximum number permitted by the license.
• Bound to the Host ID of the NMS
Managed switches are identified by their IP address, but the license key is bound
to the Host ID of the NMS. If you change the Host ID of the NMS, contact Lucent
Technologies to update your ATMoMPLS license key. This means you will be
issued with an additional license key if you use a backup/standby NMS.
• Applied to a single management domain
If your deployment uses multiple management stations, you need a separate
license key for each management domain, as shown in Figure 8-1, regardless of
the total number of switches implementing ATMoMPLS trunking.
In Figure 8-1, two management domains each have a primary and a
standby/backup NMS.
– Domain 1 contains 35 switches using ATMoMPLS trunks
– Domain 2 contains 10 switches using ATMoMPLS trunks
Note – Only one license may be applied to any NMS at any time. For example, if you
need to upgrade your 25 switch license to a 50 switch license, your new 50 switch
license replaces and supersedes the 25 switch license.
