Enterasys Networks 9034313-07 manual Clearing, Showing, and Applying Licenses

Clearing, Showing, and Applying Licenses

2.Optionally, note the serial numbers of the switches in the stack. You can use the show system hardware command (page 3‐14) to display the switch serial numbers.

Note: Since license keys are applied to the correct stack member switch automatically, based on the switch serial number that is part of the license string, you should know the serial numbers of the switches in order to enable the licenses of the member switches first, before the master unit.

3.Enable the licenses on the stack members first, before enabling the master unit, using the set license command (page 4‐3). For example:

C3(rw)->set license INCREMENT advrouter 2006.0127 27-jan-2011 0123456789AB 0123456789AB

4.Enable the license on the switch master unit last, using the set license command.

Adding a New Member to a Licensed Stack

When a SecureStack C3 switch without a license is added to a stack that has licensing enabled, the ports on the new switch will not pass traffic until a license has been applied to the new switch. To add a new member to a licensed stack:

1.Obtain a license for the new switch from the Enterasys Customer Portal.

2.Add the new unit to the stack, following the procedure in “Adding a New Unit to an Existing Stack” on page 2‐3.

3.Use the set license command to install and activate the new switch’s license. The new switch will then join the stack and its ports will be attached.

Alternatively, you can install and activate the new switch’s license first, before adding the switch to the stack.

Clearing, Showing, and Applying Licenses

Licenses can be displayed, applied, and cleared only with the license commands described in this chapter. General configuration commands such as show config or clear config do not apply to licenses.

Every license is associated with a specific hardware platform, based on the serial number of the hardware platform. If you need to move a license from one hardware platform to another, you must contact Enterasys Customer Support to arrange for re‐hosting of the license.
