Managing Licenses for the J-EX Series Switch (CLI Procedure)
To enable and use some Junos OS features on a J-EX Series switch, you must purchase,
install, and manage separate software licenses. Each switch requires one license. For a
Virtual Chassis deployment, two licenses are recommended for redundancy. After you
have configured the features, you see a warning message if the switch does not have a
license for the feature.
Before you begin managing licenses, be sure that you have:
•
Obtained the needed licenses. For information about how to purchase software licenses,
contact Dell.
• Understand what makes up a license key. For more information, see “License Key
Components for the J-EX Series Switch” on page 66.
This topic includes the following tasks:
• Adding New Licenses on page 83
•
Deleting Licenses on page 84
•
Saving License Keys on page 84
Adding New Licenses
To add one or more new license keys on the switch, with the CLI:
1.
Add the license key or keys:
• To add one or more license keys from a file or URL, specify the filename of the file
or the URL where the key is located:
user@switch>
request system license add filename | url
• To add a license key from the terminal:
user@switch> request system license add terminal
2.
When prompted, enter the license key, separating multiple license keys with a blank
line.
If the license key you enter is invalid, an error appears in the CLI output when you press
Ctrl+d to exit the license entry mode.
