9300T Smart License Cluster

[James Davies]

This is the Cisco link for License Reservation:

Problem is this,. I built a stack and put them into Production, and now I have to apply the License, no problem generating a token and getting the Auth Code from the Smart License site.. Problem is, there are 2 switches in the stack, and you cannot generate another code for the other stack member, therefore my stack is showing as not authorised. Have contacted Cisco but they are a bit useless!

I dont have the option to break the stack at the moment, and noone seems to have a solution

Thanks

Hello James,

For documentation you need same software version and license type, please, check this requeriments.

• A different number of licenses might be consumed depending on the configuration of the Cisco device such as with Catalyst switches running in StackWise or StackWise Virtual:

Traditional Stack-wise Supported Switches (e.g. Catalyst 9300 series):

Network License: 1 license is consumed per switch in the stack

DNA License: 1 license is consumed per switch in the stack

Modular Chassis (e.g. Catalyst 9400 series):

Network License: 1 license is consumed per supervisor in the chassis

DNA License: 1 license is consumed per chassis

Fixed Stack-wise Virtual Supported Switches (e.g. Catalyst 9500 series):

Network License: 1 license is consumed per switch in the stack

DNA License: 1 license is consumed per switch in the stack
