Even though I've been around Cisco for a long time and am quite comfortable with IOS switches and routers, I'm new to setting up an N5K from scratch. I wanted to enable EIGRP so I ran "feature eigrp" and got:
No available license - LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG error Feature does not have an installed license
I found the command show license usage and it yielded this result:
Feature Ins Lic Status Expiry Date Comments Count -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FCOE_NPV_PKG No - Unused - FM_SERVER_PKG No - Unused - ENTERPRISE_PKG Yes - Unused Never - FC_FEATURES_PKG Yes - Unused Never - VMFEX_FEATURE_PKG No - Unused - ENHANCED_LAYER2_PKG No - Unused - LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG No - Unused - LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG No - Unused - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This indicates to me, though perhaps I'm wrong, that there is an available license for the ENTERPRISE_PKG. This package, based on what I found on the Internet, should support Layer-3 routing and dynamic routing protocols. The license status is Ins, which I'm guessing means "installed" yet is marked as Unused. Am I correct in my assumptions? If so, how to do move it from an Unused state to an In Use state?
Here are some pertinent details:

I tried entering those PAKs onto cisco.com/go/license but it said "N5K-C5548UPSSI185209JC is completely fulfilled."
Thanks.

I think I just found the answer. Of course it's just after posting the question. EIGRP requires a LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG license... the ENTERPRISE_PKG and FC_FEATURES_PKG are for Fibre Channel stuff. Just to test I ran "feature fcoe" and now the FC_FEATURES_PKG has moved to In Use.
So I'm unlicensed for EIGRP then. Mystery solved.
