How to check the licensed throughput on Catalyst 8300 router?

[Herman2022]

Hi, how to check the throughput on catalyst 8300 router? Is the output of the  following command representing the overall licensed throughput of the router or only represent the throughput of VPN only? Can someone pls advise? thanks in advance! I only see this command is available. 

Device# show platform hardware throughput crypto

[M02@rt37]

Hello @Herman2022 

Your command is for crypto engine throughput.

Do, #show platform hardware throughput level command in privileged EXEC mode.

Please find here information about throughput:

Thanks M02@rt37 for your advice. As I mentioned, there is no such command "#show platform hardware throughput level" in privileged exec mode.

router01#sh platform hardware throughput ?
crypto Show crypto throughput

This router for 60 min have throughput 32-35 mbps so I think it light load router.

@Herman2022,

Please provide the output of these two commands:

# show licence summary

# show version

[Herman2022]

Thanks @balaji.bandi @Torbjørn M02@rt37 , below are the output of sh license summary and sh version. We purchased HSEC license, network advantage 1G license. Please advise, thanks. seems something is missing or not configured. 

[M02@rt37]

Hello @Herman2022 

Regarding your output, the entitlement tag  ESR-P_10M_A maps to a 10Mbps throughput license...

So, your 1G entitlement has not been activated or assigned in your Smart acount, or pulled down and registered by the router...

I let my friend comment also. Thanks again for these outputs.

[Herman2022]

Hi M02@rt37 , I also don't know why the default is 10M and actual traffics volume can reach 200Mbps with any issue. I run the following commands, then both network advantage and DNA advantage are 10M when running the command "sh license summary".

Device(config)# license boot level network-advantage addon dna-advantage

[Torbjørn]

You should be able to assert which throughput tier your router has by the license name in show license summary.

See the following documentation for tier to throughput mappings: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/cloud_edge/configure-licenses-throughput-catalyst-8000-platforms.html#tier-and-numeric-throughput-mapping 

[balaji.bandi]

what is the full model and what License you have ? is this SD-WAN or traditional router deployment.

some guide lines how to check :

[Herman2022]

hi @balaji.bandi , the model is 8300, configured as traditional router, not sdwan edge router. The online document is not very clear, don't know the procedure to license the 8000 series routers and how to verify via cli. 

[Herman2022]

Hi @balaji.bandi @Torbjørn M02@rt37 @MHM Cisco World, should configure boot license dna-addon or not? 

Device(config)# license boot level network-advantage addon dna-advantage
