All productsIt’s well-known that some routers of Huawei such NE8000 M Series, NE8000 F1A require port RTU license, otherwise these ports are 100M by default. If you order these router from Huawei, the engineer will load port licenses as you required, but these licenses are not activated.
NE8000 F1A-8H20Q for example, you can see below picture that 10G, 25G and 100G license are loaded, but all these ports are still 100M, and in down status. This is because these hardware RTU is not activated, so this article will narrate how to active hardware RTUs.
All firmware should be provided by the client and obtained from legally authorized way.
Procedure
1, Check the slots where CM boards reside and record all the ports for which bandwidth restrictions are to be removed.

For all products except the NE5000E, and for NE5000E V800R011C10 and earlier versions, all ports with (100M) displayed in the display interface brief command output are CM ports with the default bandwidth restriction, for example, 100GE1/0/0(100M). If the bandwidth restriction in the brackets is not 100M, but is less than the rate of the physical port, for example, 25GE2/0/0(10G), at least one enabling hardware RTU has been activated. You need to record both types of ports.
For NE5000E V800R012C00 and later versions, all CM ports cannot go up by default (the undo shutdown command cannot be run for the CM ports). That is, all the ports in the down state in the slots where the CM boards reside have not been activated with any RTU.
2, Check the available (purchased) hardware RTUs.

The value in the Available column indicates the number of each license item’s remaining resources.
3, Plan the range of ports for which RTUs are to be activated based on the list of ports for which bandwidth restrictions are to be removed, the number of available RTUs, and service requirements.
4, Activate RTUs for the ports as planned.

To check the detailed activation command of each license item on the current device, run the display license command. For some product models (including the NE8000-M1, and NE8000-M6), the activation command is active port-basic slot slot-id port port-list (card card-id is not included).
If a port requires multiple RTUs in combination mode during the activation, you need to run the activation command only once for the port.
5, Check hardware RTU resource usage statistics.

Fields in Global license information in the preceding command output are described as follows:
Offline: indicates the number of resources used by offline ports (for example, the boards where the ports reside are powered off or removed).
Allocated: indicates the number of ports that fail RTU activation due to insufficient available RTUs, despite the active port-basic command being run. In this case, the device reports an alarm, and you need to replan the range of ports for which RTUs are to be activated based on the number of available RTUs or have the license capacity expanded.
Activated: indicates the number of ports for which RTUs are successfully activated.
Available: indicates the number of remaining license item resources.
Check whether RTUs are activated for ports as planned. If any port in the planned port range fails to have an RTU activated, return to the previous step for adjustment.
If you encounter same issue, and cannot active by yourself, welcome to contact supports@thunder-link.com, our engineer will assist you remotely.
