Managing the Switch over the Web 5-5
License Installation
Web management requires a license to operate. Without a License key
installed in the Switch, Web browsers are not able to connect to the Switch.
The License Key has been installed at the factory for Compaq Switches.
CAUTION:
If an invalid key number is entered the existing license (if any) is overwritten,
thus eliminating any/all valid license keys. The license key is unique to each Switch;
therefore, a license for one Switch will not operate on another.
To install the License Key:
1. Log on the Switch via Telnet.
2. On the Telnet command line, type:
licenseShow
3. Verify the current license keys, if the Web key is not installed continue
with the next step.
4. On the Telnet command line, type:
licenseAdd “key”
where, “key” is the license key string of alphanumeric characters in double
quotes (“key”) that must be entered exactly as given including case. For
example, “RdxS9S9ezSdcdTs”.
5. Once the license is entered, check for it with the licenseShow command
and if present reboot the Switch.
