Hi.
I'm having problems with the vrf license in ios-xr. I have installed the VRF license and it seems to be working. But when i commit the vrf config the following error message appears in the logbuffer;
%LICENSE-ASR9K_LICENSE-2-INFRA_VRF_NEEDED : 1 VRF(s) are configured without a valid license / license configuration A9K-iVRF-LIC in violation of the S...
Some outputs from the router;
sh license

I really dont understand what the trouble is all about. Any ideas?

Hi Renato,
yeah cool you found the reference. This restriction will be lifted in XR 5 dot something (dunno the precise release), just fyi.
You could static pin the satellite interfaces you want to bundle to a single 10G uplink maybe? and leave the remainder that dont need to be bundled in an ICL bundle of 3?

Could you provide a sample of this configuration because I don't think I got your point.
Thank you !

Ok, lets say you want to use ports 0-9 on your satellite to create bundles, which means they can't be part of an ICL bundle. Then do the following:
router(config)# interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/1/0/0
router(congig)# ipv4 point-to-point
router(config)# ip unnumbered Loopback 1000
router(config)# nv satellite-fabric-link satellite 100
router(config)# remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-9
So now we have static pinned the ports 0 to 9 to tengig 0/1/0/0, which menas we can bundle the sat ports 0-9
as normal.
Now we can take 3 other tengigs and make them a 3 member bundle:
router(config)# interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/2/0/1
router(config)# bundle id 10 mode on
Under the bundle ethernet we define the other sat ports to be linked:
router(config)# interface Bundle-Ethernet 10
router(config)# ipv4 point-to-point
router(config)# ip unnumbered Loopback 1000
router(config)# nv satellite-fabric-link satellite 200
router(config)# remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0/10-39

I see, that could be a solution but it also means that I'm wasting a 10-GE interface and if this interface goes down, my bundle interface will also go down, right?
Thank you
ā07-13-2013 02:20 PM
Correct indeed Renato, if the Ten 0/1/0/0 goes down then you lose all those ports it serves, there is no ICL redundancy in that case.
One thing though is that I am recofnirming with our SAT development we can do bundled and non-bundled ICL as that was a restriction in XR42.1 when SAT came out. I'll let you know when I have confirmation on that.

Thank you Alexander !

Hi Renato, confirmed, you can do this trick of bundled with non bundled ICL's starting XR4.3.0.
cheers

Thank you Alexander for your help, I'm gonna test it today ! Do you have any ideia when Cisco will realease the IOS-XR with a fix to this problem?

Hello Alexander,
I would like to thank you for all your help ! I tested the configuration you recommended and it worked fine.

hi renato,
thanks very much for confirming, generally I dont hear when things work, so it is very awesome to hear that the trick did the trick
cheers!

Hello Alexander,
It's me again ! Have you ever tested if the interfaces go down when you change the remote ports range?
thanks !
Renato

Hi Renato,
yes this is expected, the ports that are (un)configured will have a state change. Example:
Start:
interface TenGigE0/2/0/0
nv
satellite-fabric-link satellite 100
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
Changing the range to 0-9 will down all ports 10-43.
Changing the range back to 0-43 will enable all ports 10-43 and puts them in admin down state.
