CUBE Smart Licensing

Cisco Smart Licensing using Policy is a software licensing model that provides visibility of ownership and usage through the Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) portal. CSSM is a central license repository that manages licenses across all Cisco products that you own, including CUBE. Devices send license usage to CSSM either directly or use an on-premises application. Your Smart Account Administrator controls your access to CSSM. Use your Cisco credentials to access the CSSM portal through htttp://software.cisco.com.

Smart Licensing applies to all platform technology (UCK9, Security, DNA) and CUBE feature licenses that the platform uses.

CSSM shows license usage across all devices that are registered to a virtual account. A Virtual Account License Inventory displays the quantity of licenses that are purchased, those licenses in use, and a balance. An Insufficient Licenses alert is displayed if the license balance is below 0.

For example, consider a smart account in CSSM with 50 CUBE trunk session licenses. If you have a single registered CUBE router using 20 trunk sessions, the CSSM licenses page shows Purchased as 50, In Use as 20, and Balance as 30.

For more information on Smart Software Manager, see the Cisco Smart Software Manager User Guide.

Smart License Operation

Smart Licensing using Policy introduces a new paradigm for tracking license usage across your business. In earlier releases, license authorization was forward- looking, binding licenses to a device until the next authorization request. Actual license use during the proceeding reporting period is now sent to CSSM, allowing you to plan ongoing license requirements based on historical usage data.

Each time a change in license usage is detected, the account policy defines how soon the change should be reported to CSSM. Typically, this means that CUBE must send a report at least every 90 days, although it is recommended that reports are sent more frequently. CSSM acknowledges each submitted Resource Utilization Monitoring (RUM) report to ensure that the use is recorded reliably. If the router does not receive an acknowledgment within the minimum reporting period, call processing may be disabled. Call processing is resumed when a valid acknowledgment is received.

Submit the reports to CSSM directly or through a Smart Software Manager On-Prem server. The Cisco Smart Licensing Utility (CSLU) application can also collect usage reports, providing more flexibility in managing your license usage. When a device is not able to communicate directly with a licensing server, a signed usage report can be generated and manually uploaded to CSSM. The CSSM generated acknowledgment must be uploaded to the device within the license reporting policy period to ensure continued use.


Note


Cisco routers configured to process calls between voice ports and IP destinations will report the use of these sessions to CSSM, where they are listed as a "CUBE v14 Voice Gateway Session". This usage is reported using the CUBE_T_VGW Smart entitlement tag, which may also be viewed using the show license all command and is provided for your information only. This reporting feature does not enforce voice port or IP sessions and there would be no service interruption if the router is not registered to CSSM.

A quantity of purchased licenses equal to the number of reported sessions is automatically displayed in CSSM to avoid compliance warnings. There is no requirement or option to purchase CUBE v14 Voice Gateway Session licenses.



Note


Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem Version 8 Release 202102 or later is required for any device using SLP. Refer to the SLP feature documentation for further information (Smart Licensing Using Policy for Cisco Enterprise Routing Platforms).



Warning


When using any of the following Smart Licensing using Policy releases, CUBE shuts down if the router does not receive a report acknowledgment from CSSM before the acknowledgment deadline set by the account policy: 17.3.2, 17.3.3, 17.3.4a, 17.6.1a, or any 17.4 or 17.5 release. CUBE does not shut down in this way with later releases.


License usage is calculated dynamically in the same way as earlier releases, with measurements recorded periodically based on the periodicity timer. Measurements are stored locally until they are submitted to CSSM. This historical usage reporting allows for more accurate aggregation of use across multiple devices over time. The minimum value for the periodicity timer interval is 8 hours.

For example, consider a measurement periodicity of 8 hours and a reporting policy interval of 30 days. Call load is measured every second. The average of the top three readings during each minute is recorded to mitigate anomalies. Similarly, the average of the top three minute measurements is used to log usage over an hour. After 8 hours, the maximum hourly measurement is used to record usage locally for that period. The 90 measurements that are recorded over a 30 day reporting period are sent to CSSM or a CSLU in a single report.

If the peak license usage for the current period is different by more or less than 25% of the previously reported value, it is reported and the periodicity interval is reset. Use of CUBE Standard Trunk and CUBE Enhanced Trunk licenses are monitored separately.


Note


Smart License Reservation (SLR) for CUBE licenses is not compatible with SLP. Even if a reservation is in place when upgrading, license use reporting will still be required in accordance with the device policy.



Note


From Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.6.1a onwards, calls that are forked using WebSockets are marked as consuming an Enhanced session license.


Smart Software Licensing Task Flow for CUBE

IOS XE license use reports may be pushed to, or pulled by a licensing server. Refer to the workflows in Smart Licensing Using Policy for Cisco Enterprise Routing Platforms for more details.

Obtain the Registration ID Token

Detailed Steps

  1. Log in to your Smart Account in either CSSM or satellite.

  2. Navigate to the Virtual Account with which you want to register the CUBE.

  3. Generate a registration ID token.

Configure Smart Licensing Transport Settings

Procedure


Step 1

hostname hostname

Example:

Device(config)# hostname cube
cube(config)#

Ensure that hostname and the PID of the platform are not the same. For example, if the hostname of an ASR1006 router is configured as "ASR1006", registration is unsuccessful.

Step 2

ip name-server IP Address

Example:

cube(config)#  ip name-server 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.10

Configures valid DNS servers to ensure the correct resolution of the CSSM or satellite hostname.

Step 3

ip http client source-interface interface name

Example:

cube(config)#  ip http client source-interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0

Binds the platform HTTP client to the interface used to access the CSSM or satellite.

Step 4

license smart transport smart

Example:

cube(config)#  license smart transport smart

Smart transport is the preferred method for sending usage reports.

Step 5

license smart proxy address hostname

Example:

cube(config)#  license smart proxy address proxy.cisco.com

If necessary, configure a proxy-server for the platform when a direct HTTP connection to CSSM is not permitted.

Step 6

license smart proxy port port-number

Example:

cube(config)# license smart proxy port 80

If using an internet proxy, configure a proxy-server port number.

Step 7

license smart url default

Example:

cube(config)# license smart url default

Use the default URL for sending reports to CSSM.


Associate the Host Platform with CSSM

From Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.11.1a to Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1a, you must register the host platform to either CSSM or SSM On-Prem to report license usage. From Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.2 onwards, license use must be reported to CSSM or SSM On-Prem in accordance with the Smart Account reporting policy.

Before you begin

  1. Obtain the registration ID token from your Smart Account.

  2. Configure Smart Licensing transport settings.

Procedure


From Cisco IOS XE 16.10.1 through Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1a, use the following command for registering the CUBE with the CSSM or satellite.

license smart register id_token id_token

Example:

Router# license smart register id_token XXXXXXXXXTnVhaUZlRHorQjJERT0%3D

Use the following command to register the CUBE platform with CSSM.

license smart trust id_token id_token...local [force]

Example:

Router# license smart trust id_token ZDEwZDFiODktNWF.............

Configure CUBE Licensed Features

Procedure


Step 1

voice service voip

Example:

Device(config)# voice service voip

Enters global VoIP cofiguration mode.

Step 2

mode border-element [ license periodicity {hours <8-23> | days <1-30> }]

The periodicity keyword configures the CUBE license usage measurement interval. If you do not configure the periodicity keyword, license usage is measured once every 7 days.

CUBE High Availability Configurations

Smart Licensing with CUBE Box-to-Box High Availability

Box-to-Box redundancy uses the Redundancy Group Infrastructure to form a high availability pair of platforms.

For Smart License configurations on the high availability pair of platforms, see Smart Software Licensing Task Flow for CUBE. When reporting license usage, the Smart Agent includes details of its high availability group and, if it is in the active or standby state. These details allow the CSSM or satellite to group license requirements for the high availability pair.

Box-to-Box High Availability requires CUBE Trunk Redundant or Enhanced Session licenses. From Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.2.1r onwards, license usage is based on dynamic call counting.

Before Failover

  • Establish a trust relationship for both platforms in the high availability configuration with the same CSSM or satellite Smart Virtual Account.

  • CSSM or satellite sets the reporting policy for each platform.

  • Only the active platform submits license usage reports to CSSM.

After Failover

  • The platform that switches to the active mode reports license usage to the CSSM.

  • The new active platform starts a new license request interval timer. For example, if a periodicity of five days is configured and failover occurs after three days, the next request will occur five days later.

Smart Licensing with CUBE Inbox High Availability

You can configure a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router platform with two Route Processors for Inbox High Availability using Stateful Switchover (SSO). In this configuration, one Route Processor is active while the other is in standby mode.

For Smart License configuration, see Smart Software Licensing Task Flow for CUBE. Only the active Route Processor in the SSO configuration reports license usage, so CSSM reserves one set of licenses for the platform.

Inbox High Availability requires CUBE Trunk Standard Session licenses.

Before Failover

  • Smart License configuration is synchronized between the two Route Processors. Only the active Route Processor registers with CSSM or satellite.

  • The CSSM or satellite authorizes license usage requests for the active Route Processor.


    Note


    For Smart License using Policy, the CSSM or satellite license usage requests for the active Route Processor.


After Failover

  • The Route Processor that switches to active mode, reports license usage to the CSSM or satellite.

  • As the new report appears to come from the same device, the CSSM or satellite retains the original reservation for the platform.

Verify Smart Licensing Operation for Inbox High Availability
