Additional information for the feature software license file
When you create a license file to enable licensed features on an Ethernet
Routing Switch 5000 Series switch with the Nortel Electronic Licensing
Portal at
, you must specify a file name. Follow the
instructions on the License Certificate within the License Kit, or see Nortel
Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Series Fundamentals (NN47200-104) for
more information. You must use the following rules when you generate
and name the file:
•
A maximum of 63 alphanumeric characters
•
Lowercase only
•
No spaces or special characters allowed
•
Underscore (_) is allowed
•
The dot (.) and three-character file extension are required
For example, abcdefghijk_1234567890.lic.
The format of the file that you upload to the license generation tool (and that
contains the list of MAC addresses) must be as follows:
•
ASCII file format
•
One MAC address per line
•
No other characters, spaces, or special characters allowed
•
MAC must be in hexadecimal, capitalized format, with each pair of
characters separated by colons (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
•
The file must contain the correct MAC addresses. Any incorrect MAC
addresses will result in the licensed features not working on designated
units.
•
The number of MAC addresses must not exceed the number of MAC
addresses allowed for the License Authorization Code entered for a
particular file:
— AL1016001 = 2 MAC addresses (1 stack/standalone unit)
— AL1016002 = 20 MAC addresses (10 stacks/standalone units)
— AL1016003 = 100 MAC addresses (50 stacks/standalone units)
— AL1016004 = 200 MAC addresses (100 stacks/standalone units)
