關於控制器的license，能夠參考對應平臺的Datasheet：

• Cisco 2504 WLC
• Cisco 3504 WLC
• Cisco 5508 WLC
• Cisco 5520 WLC
• Cisco Flex 7510 WLC
• Cisco 8540 WLC

其餘文檔：

• Special Notes for Licensed Data Payload Encryption on Cisco Wireless Controllers
• Smart Licensing Deployment Guide

一、license類型和狀態

• license type (permanent, evaluation, or extension)
• The status of the license (in use, not in use, inactive, or EULA not accepted)

二、安裝license

在GUI界面選擇Management > Software Activation > Commands ，選擇Install License。

 

注意tftp-url: tftp://server_ip/path/filename

 

 e.g：tftp://10.0.0.1/cmm/standard.lic

 

 

 end-user license agreement (EULA)須要Accept ！

 

至於保存全部安裝的license的備份，經過以下操做完成：

1. From the Action drop-down list, choose Save License.

2. In the File Name to Save text box, enter the path on the TFTP server where you want the licenses to be saved.

   Note：You cannot save evaluation licenses.

3. Click Save Licenses.                                                                                                         

 

 而後重啓WLC

 

 

若是經過CLI去安裝license：

• license install url        <<<< tftp://server_ip /path /filename      若是須要移除license文件，使用命令：license clear license_name

• license comment {add | delete} license_name comment_string

• license save url

• reset system 

 

eg:

(Test-vWLC) >license install  tftp://<server ip>/<path>/<filename>

(Test-vWLC) >license comment add <license-name> <string>

(Test-vWLC) >license save tftp://<server ip>/<path>/<filename>

(Test-vWLC) >reset system

The system has unsaved changes.
Would you like to save them now? (y/N)

 

三、激活評估license

 

 你須要將評估license的優先級別調高，以便激活它。

 

 接着你會被要求接受EULA，你須要選擇Accept

 

 以後再查看，你能夠看到目前已是in use狀態了。

 

 CLI配置：

確認好license的名字：

(Test-vWLC) >show license all
