Chapter 1    Planning the Upgrade 
 
 
 
OL-31613-01 
Plan What Optional Features Will be Supported 
An upgrade can contain additional optional features that system operators can elect 
to enable on their systems. Some of these features require that the system operator 
obtain a special license for the feature to be activated; others can simply be activated 
by our engineers without a special license.   
Determine what optional features (licensed or unlicensed) need to be enabled as a 
result of this upgrade. You will activate these optional features later during the 
upgrade, while the system processes are down. 
If any licensed features are to be enabled as a result of this upgrade, contact your 
Cisco account representative to purchase the required license. Then coordinate with 
Cisco Services to have the feature enabled at the proper time during the 
migration/upgrade. 
Important: 
 
Any features that have been previously enabled or licensed as part of an earlier 
upgrade do not have to be re-enabled. 
 
If you are migrating from a GQAM to an RFGW as part of the migration to GigE 
BFS, you need to have the GQI QAM Support feature on the EC. Contact Cisco 
Services for this license.
