Licensing

Juniper Agile Licensing (QFX5110-48S, QFX5110-32Q, QFX5120-32C, QFX5120-48T, and QFX5210-64C)—Starting in Junos OS Release Evolved 21.2R1, the QFX switches support Juniper Agile Licensing.

Juniper Agile Licensing provides simplified and centralized license administration and deployment. You can use Juniper Agile Licensing to install and manage licenses for software features.

Juniper Agile Licensing supports soft enforcement of software feature licenses. With soft enforcement, if you configure a feature without a license, Junos OS displays a warning when you commit the configuration except for PTP feature. However, the feature is operational. In addition, Junos os generated periodic alarms indicating that you need the license to use the feature. You can see the list of alarms at System Log Explorer.

Table 1 describes the licensing support with use case examples for QFX5110-48S, QFX5110-32Q, QFX5120-32C, QFX5120-48T, and QFX5210-64C.

Juniper Agile Licensing (EX2300, EX3400, EX4300, and EX4400)—Starting in Junos OS Release 21.2R1, the listed EX Series switches support Juniper Agile Licensing.

Juniper Agile Licensing provides simplified and centralized license administration and deployment. You can use Juniper Agile Licensing to install and manage licenses for hardware and software features.

Juniper Agile Licensing supports soft enforcement and hard enforcement of hardware and software feature licenses.

With soft enforcement, if you configure a feature without a license, Junos OS displays a warning when you commit the configuration. However, the feature remains operational. In addition, Junos OS generates periodic alarms indicating that you need the license to use the feature. You can see the list of alarms at System Log Explorer.
With hard enforcement, if you configure a feature without a license, Junos OS displays a warning when you commit the configuration. The feature is not operational until the license is installed. In addition, Junos OS generates periodic syslog messages indicating that you need the license to use the feature. You can see the list of syslog messages at System Log Explorer.

Table 2 describes the licensing support for soft-enforced features on EX2300 switches.
