enable advipservices license on ASR 1001-X

Check if its available in your image:

show license all

StoreIndex: 1   Feature: advipservices                     Version: 1.0

        License Type: EvalRightToUse

        License State: Active, Not in Use, EULA not accepted

            Evaluation total period: 8  weeks 4  days 

            Evaluation period left: 8  weeks 4  days 

            Period used: 0  minute  0  second  

        License Count: Non-Counted

        License Priority: None

Enable the license level you need, needs a reboot:

conf t

license boot level advipservices

Once you changed the boot variable, the CLI will ask you to change and accept the EULA agreement, so you need to enter YES, and then save configuration and perform a reload on the ASR.

Once the ASR boots up again, you should now see that the license level is advipservices and you can confirm that using the command “Router# show version | i Lice”

EVAL license will last for 60 days after that it will switch to right to use. You should buy the right license from cisco but it sounds like RTU will continue to work without but I have not tested it.

critical light on cisco router ASR 1001 x

Router was working fine but critical light on the front

Run:
sh facility-alarm status

However xcvr container 0/0/5 does not match up to gig0/0/5 as you might assume. I looked around the configured interfaces and found there was a port that was admin up but line down. It was a test port someone in IT had configured for their laptop.

Run
sh ip int br

Output:
GigabitEthernet0/0/0   x.x.x.x   YES NVRAM  up                    up    
GigabitEthernet0/0/1   y.y.y.y YES NVRAM  up                    up    
GigabitEthernet0/0/2   z.z.z.z      YES NVRAM  up                    up    
GigabitEthernet0/0/3   a.a.a.a     YES NVRAM   down down

We can see gig0/0/3 is the problem.

Fix
int gig0/0/3
shut

The critical light on the front went off. The problem was  we  had an interface configured and "no shut" but no cable plugged in.
