How to Configure the License Function
With the license platform enabled, the license platform performs license control through license server over the function entries and resource entries supported by the Huawei MA5600 and provides customized services for users.
PrerequisitesThe license platform must be enabled, that is, the license function must be enabled.
The license platform provides the registration mechanism for the service modules of the Huawei MA5600. During system initialization, the service modules need to register for the controlled resource entries or the controlled function entries. After the system starts to work, based on the controlled entries that are registered, the license client management module obtains the authentication information about the license controlled entries of the MA5600 from the license server.
When a service module is configured through the CLI or NMS, the device checks whether the resource entries of the service module or the function entries of the service module are overloaded.
If overload occurs, the system quits the service configuration and displays a prompt of insufficient license resources.
If overload does not occur, the system allows the user to continue configuring and using the service. When the service configuration is deleted, the system automatically releases the license resources occupied by the service configuration.
The Huawei MA5600 adopts the network license solution, that is, a license server is deployed on the network. The license server software can be installed on the same device with the NMS. The license server software can also be installed separately on a license server. Each digital subscriber line access multiplexer (Huawei DSLAM) is like a license client and the licenses of all the clients are managed by the license server in a centralized manner.
In the management scope of the license server (generally a region or a city), each product has only one license file that is stored on the license server. The resources of the product that are controlled by the license are defined by the license file. Because one license server can manage multiple products, multiple license files can be stored on one license server.
With the license platform enabled, the license server performs license control over the function entries and resource entries supported by the MA5600 and provides customized services, namely, specified function entries and resource entries, for users according to the requirements.The control entries of the license platform include function entries and resource entries. You can run the display license feature command to query the corresponding control entries.
A function entry refers to the entry whose license is controlled based on the function. The controllable function entries supported by the MA5600 include:
A resource entry refers to the entry whose license is controlled based on the count. The controllable resource entries supported by the MA5600 include:
Illegal access control function of the broadband metropolitan area network (MAN)
Statistical function of the port rate fulfillment ratio
Count of multicast programs
Count of conversions from xPOA to xPOE
Count of ADSL2+/SHDSL/VDSL2 ports
Count of ADSL2+ ports (Huawei ADEE) using the Annex M feature
Count of ADSL2+ ports using the INP+ feature
Count of SHDSL.bis ports referencing the profile configured with high rate
Count of bound SHDSL ports
Count of ports on the AIUG board supporting the access of the ATM service
Count of IMA links on the AIUG board
If you need to use the license platform supported by the MA5600, ensure to consider the deployment of the license server in network planning.
It is recommended that you install the license server on the same computer with the NMS server. If there is no NMS server, you need to separately deploy a license server on the network.
Configure the interface that is for communicating between the MA5600 and the license server.
Run the license esn command to configure the equipment serial number (ESN) of the device.
Run the license server command to configure the license server.
Run the display license info command to query the communication status between the device and the license server.
Run the vlan command to create a VLAN.
Run the port vlan command to add an upstream port to the VLAN.
(Optional) Run the native-vlan command to configure the default VLAN of the upstream port.
Run the interface vlanif command to enter the VLAN interface mode.
Run the ip address command to configure the IP address of the VLAN L3 interface so that the IP packets in the VLAN are forwarded by using this IP address.
Whether the native VLAN needs to be set for the upstream port depends on whether the upper-layer device connected to the upstream port supports packets carrying a VLAN tag. The setting on the MA5600 must be the same as that on the upper-layer device.
Each client of the license server is uniquely identified by the ESN. The ESN needs to be configured if the user enables the license platform. The ESN can be the NMS IP address of the device or the IP address of the VLAN L3 interface.
If the user enables the license platform, configure the IP address and TCP port ID of the license server so that the license server can communicate with the client.
