IPServices Evaluation License

[Ricky S]

Hi everyone,

I want to turn on EIGRP functionality on my layer 3 3750 stack. I noticed I was only running an IPBASE license. When I do show license all I notice I have an evaluation of IPSERVICES image (see output below). Can I use this evaluation license? Would it be same as the full license or would it have limited functionality? Also, how do I make it the active license? Please advise.

Hello Ricky,

You can enjoy the complete functionality with evaluation license, but it would expire in 8 weeks & 4 days for you. After that, it would revert back to the base license & you would loose specific configs done.

Thanks

Thanks Vivek.

How can I make it the active license? Also will it require me to reload?

Hello Ricky,

You require a reboot to complete the activation. Do the below to start the ipservices evaluation

conf t

license level boot ipservices

save it & reboot the device.

Hope it helps.

Thanks

Vivek
