License on the Cisco 3900 Series router.

[nikhil.kulkarni]

I am trying to understand what does the "data" license exactly do on the Cisco 3900 series router. What I understood is that the data license supports "MPLS.ATM. Multiprotocol support".

Question is is a do not have this license will I not be able to run BGP, EIGRP and terminate service provider links?

With your SecurityK9 license you will have BGP, OSPF and EIGRP available to you.

Thanks Andre,

I think BGP, OSPF will be covered with the "ipbasek9 " itself, correct?

What will I loose out on if I do not have the "data" license?

Thanks,

I think WAAS express is one of the technologies you will lose out on. Amongst other advanced features. See link below.

EDIT: And performance routing.
