Cisco Cisco Catalyst 6500 Cisco 7600 Router Anomaly Guard Module

If your Guard module currently operates with a maximum bandwidth of 1 Gbps, you can upgrade the 
bandwidth performance to 3 Gbps by installing the XG version of the software and corresponding 
software license key. The software license key activates the installed XG software. When you install the 
XG software, the Guard module is not operational until you install the corresponding software license 
and make the necessary configuration modifications that are required for the 3-Gbps operation. Those 
configuration changes include the following items:

Update existing port and interface configurations—Configure the new interfaces on the supervisor 
engine and on the Guard module with IP addresses and VLANs. For configuration information, see 
the “Updating Existing Port and Interface Configurations for 3-Gbps Operation” section in the Cisco 
Anomaly Guard Module Configuration Guide.

Configure proxies on the interfaces—Configure the new interfaces on the Guard module with 
proxies. For configuration information, see the “Configuring Proxies On the Interfaces for 3-Gbps 
Operation” section in the Cisco Anomaly Guard Module Configuration Guide.

Regenerate the SSL certificates—Generate new SSL certificates on the Guard module and any 
associated Detectors. For configuration information, see the “Regenerating the SSL Certificates for 
the 3-Gbps Operation” section in the Cisco Anomaly Guard Module Configuration Guide.

Installing the XG software and license does not affect the following Guard module functions:

Zone configurations—Existing zone configuration information.

Management access—During the upgrade process, configuration parameters configured on eth1 (the 
management port designator) for the 1-Gbps operation are automatically assigned to giga1 for the 
3-Gbps operation. This configuration change does not affect management access.

For complete information on ordering and installing the XG license key, see the “Performing 
Maintenance Tasks” chapter in the Cisco Anomaly Guard Module Configuration Guide.

When you order software version 6.1(x) as a spare and install it in an existing Guard module, you must 
enter a software license key to activate the software. This section contains the following topics that 
describe how to order and install a software license key:
