Managing vMX on NFX250 Licenses
You must add a license to use vMX features. The licensed features are enforced based on the license you purchased.
If you upgrade from an ADVANCE package license to a PREMIUM package license or if you downgrade from a PREMIUM package license to an ADVANCE package license, you must restart the routing protocol process (restart routing). If your configuration has logical systems, you must restart the routing protocol process for all logical systems (restart routing logical-system logical-system-name).
If you need to move your vMX installation to another host, you must remove vMX from the current host before installing vMX and adding the license on the new host.
Adding a License
To add a license key to the vMX:
- Copy the license activation key file to the VCP and add
the license key by specifying the filename.user@vmx> request system license add filename
Or, you can copy and paste the license activation key directly to add the license key. For example:
user@vmx> request system license add terminal xxxxxxxxxxx XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XxXXXX XXXXXx xxXXXX xXxXXX XXXXXX xxxXxX XXxXxX XXXX - Verify that the license is installed. VMX-BANDWIDTH indicates
the licensed bandwidth (in Mbps) and VMX-SCALE indicates the application
package. (VMX-SCALE 2 is the ADVANCE package and VMX-SCALE 3 is the
PREMIUM package.) This information is also listed as Features in the
Licenses installed section. For example, this output indicates that
the 40G perpetual license for the PREMIUM application package is installed.
