Cisco NCS 540 mpls problem and web access

[AmirHosseinKamrani]

Hi 

We recently acquired a Cisco NCS 540 router and are currently facing some challenges with MPLS testing. Despite our efforts, we are unable to access the necessary MPLS commands on the device. This leads us to believe that the required features might not be enabled by default

Our goal is to enable the MPLS features for testing purposes

Has anyone encountered a similar situation or can provide guidance on how to enable the eval license for MPLS testing on the NCS 540? Any insights, step-by-step instructions, or relevant experiences would be greatly appreciated

and another question is how to enable web UI access for NCS 540 .

I should say that My NCS has UNIVERSAL License reservation enabled .

Hi @AmirHosseinKamrani ,

You need to install the packages you need.

Please refer to the following documentation:
