Questions & Answers
What is the S-MPC5E-OPT-LIC license?
The S-MPC5E-OPT-LIC is a per-slot software license that enables Optical Transport Network (OTN) features on Cisco MPC5E line cards.
Which OTN features does the S-MPC5E-OPT-LIC unlock on MPC5E?
This license activates full OTN functionality—including ODU multiplexing, OTU framing, forward error correction (FEC), and OTN client mapping—on each MPC5E slot.
How does the per-slot licensing model work?
You purchase one S-MPC5E-OPT-LIC per MPC5E slot, and each license remains tied to its specific slot to enable OTN capabilities independently.
Which hardware and software versions are compatible?
The S-MPC5E-OPT-LIC requires Cisco IOS XR Release 7.0 or later and is compatible with all Cisco ASR 9000 systems populated with MPC5E line cards.
What are the prerequisites for deploying this license?
Ensure you have an MPC5E line card installed in your chassis, IOS XR 7.0+ software loaded, and proper transport optics in place before activation.
How do I install and activate the S-MPC5E-OPT-LIC on my MPC5E?
Upload the license file to the router, use the 'license install' command under admin mode, then verify with 'show license status'.
How can I verify the license status after activation?
Run the 'show license status' or 'show platform hardware throughput level' commands to confirm that the OTN feature license is active on the MPC5E slot.
What benefits does enabling OTN features provide?
Enabling OTN features improves spectral efficiency, extends reach with FEC, supports multi-service transport, and simplifies network management with standardized OTN framing.
How do I purchase or upgrade to the S-MPC5E-OPT-LIC?
Contact your Cisco account representative or authorized partner with the MPC5E slot count and existing contract details to order new licenses or upgrades.
Can I transfer the S-MPC5E-OPT-LIC between slots or devices?
No, each license is locked to its original slot. To move OTN functionality, you must procure a new license for the target slot or device.
What is the support and maintenance policy for this license?
The S-MPC5E-OPT-LIC is covered under the Cisco Smart Net Total Care (SNTC) contract, providing software updates and technical support throughout the service term.
How do I renew or extend my OTN license subscription?
Submit a renewal request through Cisco Commerce Workspace or your partner portal before expiration to maintain continuous OTN feature access.
What happens if I exceed the number of licensed slots?
Exceeding licensed slots disables OTN features on unlicensed slots; you must purchase additional S-MPC5E-OPT-LIC licenses to restore full functionality.
Are there any performance impacts after licensing OTN features?
No measurable performance degradation occurs; enabling OTN features on MPC5E maintains line-rate forwarding and leverages hardware-accelerated FEC.
How does this license support network scalability?
By adding per-slot OTN licenses as traffic demands grow, you can incrementally scale optical transport capacity without overprovisioning hardware.
