Nexus 5K base license

harmeet.sian
Level 1
Level 1

Received a pair of 5548's yesterday with the L3 daughter cards.

I went to enable OSPF and EIGRP but got an error stating:

n5k-1(config)# feature ospf
No available license - LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG error Feature does not have an installed license
n5k-1(config)# feature eigrp 
No available license - LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG error Feature does not have an installed license

I checked licensing and it shows the following:

Feature                      Ins  Lic   Status Expiry Date Comments
                                 Count

LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG   Yes   -   In use Never       -

After a bit of digging around it looks like the Base licence is missing - hence I don't get the functions I'm after.

Is there a way to generate this in the Cisco licensing portal or do i have to get my supplier to order me two N55-BAS1K9 ?

If you insert the Layer 3 Daughter Card, the Layer 3 license is included.  I think you need to enable Enterprise licence.

I have the exact issue.  After digging around found that you need Base and Enterprise license to get modules online.

Now just need to figure out how to get the Base license as this should be factory loaded
