unable to create ip vrf on 3850

[Saed Eldin]

Dear All

I have to create vrf on my switch 3850 , but i got error " feature not enable".

Switch Ports Model              SW Version        SW Image              Mode
------ ----- -----              ----------        ----------            ----
*    1 56    WS-C3850-48U       03.06.05E         cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL

license: ip base.

Is there any solution to accept this command.

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

you need 'IP Services' for VRF functionality.

[Saed Eldin]

is there any command can convert switch from ip base to ip services?.

thanks

You gotta pay for the license as it opens up way more features but you can enable an evaluation license for 90 days temporarily but after that you have to pay

this is the command from priv mode #

license right-to-use activate ipservices evaluation

[Saed Eldin]

what about the below command

licenses right-to-use activate ipservices right-to-use

Not aware of that command with right-to-use at the end again usuall its all , my 3850s only have these options below but you cant fully activate a license you don't have on the switch anyway , ipservices licenses are expensive as they allow BGP/PBR and other advanced feature sets , Cisco make a lot of money on their licensing

xxxxxx#license right-to-use activate ipservices ?
