The S-MPC8EQ is a per-slot software license that upgrades an MX2K-MPC8E module to MX2K-MPC8EQ, enabling 512K queues per slot.
With S-MPC8EQ installed, each MX2K slot supports up to 512,000 hardware queues, a four-fold increase over the MPC8E baseline.
MX2K-MPC8EQ adds a per-slot license to increase queue capacity from 128K to 512K, improving traffic management and QoS scaling.
No additional hardware is required—S-MPC8EQ is a software license upgrade applied directly to existing MPC8E modules.
S-MPC8EQ requires Cisco IOS XE 16.3 or later; verify compatibility in the release notes before licensing.
Upload the license file to the router, then use the CLI command ‘license install <filename>’ and reboot the module to activate.
Run ‘show license status’ or ‘show platform hardware qfp active feature’ in the CLI to confirm the 512K-queue license is active.
A brief module reload is required for license activation; plan for a short maintenance window to avoid traffic impact.
Yes. Once installed and activated, the S-MPC8EQ license is perpetual and does not require renewal.
Yes. You can remove the S-MPC8EQ license via ‘license clear <SKU>’ and reboot to restore the original 128K-queue capacity.
Higher queue capacity reduces packet drops under congestion, improves QoS scheduling, and supports larger multi-tenant deployments.
Yes. You can mix licensed MPC8EQ and unlicensed MPC8E modules in the same chassis; each slot operates independently.
Order SKU S-MPC8EQ through your Cisco reseller or partner portal; provide your device serial number for license entitlement.
The license includes access to standard Cisco TAC support and software updates for the licensed feature for the platform’s lifecycle.
While S-MPC8EQ focuses on queue capacity, it indirectly enhances throughput stability by reducing congestion-related packet loss.
Digital license entitlement is typically delivered within minutes of order confirmation; physical media is available upon request.
For installation or activation issues, contact Cisco TAC or your authorized reseller; have your license entitlement document and serial number ready.
