| Description | This table contains entries for those physical entities into
which licenses have been physically programmed. Depending
upon the implementation, this may involve programming the
licenses into the non-volatile ram (NVRAM) of a physical
entity, such as a service module.
An entry in this table is automatically created for those
entities which contain such licenses. This table exists
independently of all previous tables described in this MIB.
The following example illustrates the use of this table for
a specific implementation:
For a module, if the object celPhysicallyProgLicenseStatus has
the value 'hasInstallableLic', it means that this module has
never had its programmed licenses installed (or transferred)
into any chassis, and therefore its license can be installed
(or transferred) if needed. If installation (or transferring)
of licenses (programmed on the entity) takes place, it
results in incrementing the number of licenses in the
license pool (object celPoolLicensesInstalled) for the
vendor-specific hardware type corresponding to this module.
Once the licenses from the module have been installed (or
transferred) into the chassis, the value of the object
celPhysicallyProgLicenseStatus changes to 'alreadyInstalled'.
This prevents any re-installation or re-use of licenses. This
example shows the usage of the module as a vehicle for
installing (or transporting) licenses into the license pool. |
