Huawei OSN 9800 license issue

TNV8T404 License issue 2

Recently, many customers have been asking about OSN 9800 license issues. Through today’s article, I would like to discuss this issue with you.

Let’s take TNV8T404 as an example.

TNV8T404 is 4*100G Tributary Service Processing Board(QSFP28)

Variants:

The TNV8T404 board has two variants: TNV8T404Q01 and TNV8T404Q06. The two variants are interchangeable.

As we know, TNV8T404 requires RTU license to activate every 100G QSFP28 port.

Some customers think that the TNV8T404 board with the suffix “R1” enables 4 (four) 100G client-side ports with RTU license.

Is this really the result? Where is the OSN 9800 license bound? Is it bound to the board itself, the OSN 9800 chassis, or the iMaster NCE?

 

Combined with the laboratory test of TNV8T404, we draw the following conclusions.

 

  1. The board is not the carrier of the RTU. The RTU is loaded into the iMaster  whether TNV8T404 has the suffix R1 has nothing to do with the RTU license.
  2. When no service is configured on the hardware, RTU is not consumed. The total RTU resources available in the entire network can be queried on the network management system. When a service is created on the network management system, the hardware will automatically consume RTU, which is bound to the SN (Serial Number) code of the hardware. The hardware reports the RTU consumption information to the network management system, which records and updates the RTU consumption information.
  3. When the board bound to the RTU is removed from thischassis and inserted into another chassis for use, it can still be used as long as it is managed by the same iMaster  If it is resold to other customers, it will be unavailable because the NCE is different.
