software license inventory

To complement these line-by-line design recommendations, related verification commands are detailed. These software license inventory commands are presented in context with the design examples, and specific details of what to look for in the resulting output are highlighted. These verification examples are, therefore, significantly richer in relevance than most such examples presented in Cisco documentation, and they allow network administrators to confirm quickly whether the recommended designs have been deployed correctly.

Finally, each design chapter has a case-study example at the end that ties together many of the design elements presented in the chapter and presents a software license inventory for the infrastructure architecture being discussed (LAN/WAN/VPN). These examples are indicative of what can be expected in production environments. Often these case-study examples span several devices and, thus, highlight critical interrelationships.
