SSO mode not available in 4507 SUP7L-E

[Jorge Ibarra]

Hi

How can I change the redundancy mode from RPR to SSO in a Cat4507R+E with SUP7L-E and IOS XE .03.04.05.SG.151-2.SG5? The commands:

redundancy - mode sso ... is not available:

lan_4507_1(config)#redundancy
lan_4507_1(config-red)#mode ?
  rpr  Route Processor Redundancy

lan_4507_1(config-red)#

One of the reasons that I found to not to be able to configure SSO is a mismatch in config at two SUP7L-E but it is solved with the command:

redundancy config-sync ignore mismatched-commands... then: redundancy reload peer

but it dosen`t work:

lan_4507_1#redundancy config-sync ignore mismatched-commands

%Error accessing Mismatched Command List

lan_4507_1#

lan_4507_1#sh red config-sync failures mcl

Mismatched Command List

-----------------------

The list is Empty

lan_4507_1#sh red config-sync failures prc

PRC Failed Command List

-----------------------

 The list is Empty

lan_4507_1#

Both supervisors has the same ROM: 15.0(1r)SG10 and the same 2097152K/20480K bytes of memory

The licence information is:

License Information for 'WS-X45-SUP7L-E'
    License Level: lanbase   Type: Default. No valid license found.
    Next reboot license Level: lanbase

some suggestion? thanks

SSO is not supported with a LAN Base license.

See this link for details -

OK, so How can I achieve the ipbase license in order to configure this mode SSO?

You need to purchase a new license.

See this link for details -

note you can try a new license before you buy it so you can make sure it works first.

The switch has become with a licence included and needs to be activated through the comands:

lan_4507_1#license right-to-use activate ipbase

lan_4507_1(config)#license boot level ipbase

then... reload

so the switch is on SSO mode now

Thanks and best regards
