Well the throughput is the issue

If I understand correctly from the cisco page it should be the command

platform hardware throughput level 300000

Assuming the license you have supports that, if that doesnt work you might have to activate/register the license but i dont have any experience in that part

platform hardware throughput level

 

To change the maximum throughput level on the virtual router, use the platform hardware throughput level command in global configuration mode. To return the platform throughput level to the default value, use the no form of this command.

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.9S:

platform hardware throughput level { 10000 | 25000 | 50000 | eval-only }

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S and Later:

platform hardware throughput level MB { 10 | 100 | 1000 | 25 | 250 | 50 | 500 }

Syntax Description

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.9S:

 
10000

Sets the maximum throughput to 10,000 Kbps (10 Mbps).

25000

Sets the maximum throughput to 25,000 Kbps (25 Mbps).

50000

Sets the maximum throughput to 50,000 Kbps (50 Mbps).

eval-only

Specifies to use the maximum throughput for the evaluation license only.

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S:

 
10

Sets the maximum throughput to 10 Mbps.

100

Sets the maximum throughput to 100 Mbps.

1000

Sets the maximum throughput to 1 Gbps.

25

Sets the maximum throughput to 25 Mbps.

250

Sets the maximum throughput to 250 Mbps.

50

Sets the maximum throughput to 50 Mbps.

500

Sets the maximum throughput to 500 Mbps.

Command Default

The default maximum throughput level is determined by the installed base license.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History

Release Modification

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.9S

This command was introduced on the Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router.

Cisco IOS XE 3.10S

The command was updated to change the keywords to units in Mbps, and support for maximum throughput values of 100 Mbps, 250 Mbps, 500 Mbps, and 1 Gbps was added.

Usage Guidelines

The Cisco CSR 1000V requires the installation of base licenses that set the maximum throughput of the platform.

Depending on the configuration and the licenses installed, you may need to manually increase or decrease the maximum throughput level on the Cisco CSR 1000V. The maximum throughput on the router before the license is activated, or if the license is invalidated, is 2.5 Mbps. When you install the base subscription license and accept the EULA, the maximum throughput on the Cisco CSR 1000V will increase to the level allowed by the license.

You may need to manually change the maximum throughput level in the following cases:

  • If you are using an evaluation license. When the evaluation license is first installed, the maximum throughput is limited to 2.5 Mbps before the license is activated. You must accept the EULA and enter the platform hardware throughput levelcommand to increase the maximum throughput. When the 60-day evaluation license expires, the maximum throughput level reverts to 2.5 Mbps.

     

  • If you want to reduce the maximum throughput level from the maximum permitted by the installed licenses. For example, if you have the 50-Mbps license installed and you want to reduce the maximum throughput to 25 Mbps. You must enter the platform hardware throughput level command to reduce the maximum throughput.

     

  • If you previously changed the maximum throughput using the platform hardware throughput level command. When you enter the command, it becomes part of the configuration file. You must enter the command again to change the maximum throughput level.

     

When changing the maximum throughput level, you do not need to reboot the Cisco CSR 1000V for the change to take effect. If you try to increase the throughput level higher than what the installed license supports, you will receive an error message.

Examples

The following example changes the maximum throughput level to 500 Mbps:

Router(config)# platform hardware throughput level MB 500

 

The following example changes the maximum throughput level to the default level supported by the installed license:

 

Router(config)# no platform hardware throughput level

The specifications also mention that the base throughput is 100 for the Cisco 4331.

You can upgrade it with a license up to 300.

For more on the specifications please see

Do you have the extra license?

I think I have a extra license.

Description

show platform hardware throughput level

Displays the current maximum throughput level for a virtual router.  

I think it is pretty sad that you have bandwidth limitations built into the software now. I understand licensing for software that performs duties a normal router wouldn't do, and paying for a license to run it in the router IOS.

 

But I am purchasing a high end router that should be able to go to several hundred mb without issues. You can get that from a Best Buy router. To limit bandwidth to 50 mb  <on the 4321> and have to buy a performance license for it to do 100 mb, but then, {oh, you really want it to do 100?}, because it is limited to 85 mb for ipsec, that is ANOTHER license to download and install. The router was purchased with advanced security already, which was also an extra cost. Having a router that doesn't fully function due to software limiting is just wrong and needs to be corrected.

BTW, a reason for the 85 Mbps IPSec performance limitation is due to US export laws.

Yes, a "Best Buy" router likely doesn't have similar license performance restrictions, and our free market allows you to buy one rather than a Cisco router. If enough buyers did that, I suspect Cisco would change its licensing policy.
