Feature Pack Features

The ExtremeXOS software features listed in the following table are managed as feature packs.

Feature packs are distributed in one of the following forms:

In ExtremeXOS software (standard software component)—You must purchase a license to use the feature pack.
Modular software package (xmod file, due to.xmod filename extension)—You must request the xmod file from your supplier and install it.

For feature pack license and installation instructions, see "Installing a Modular Software Package" in the ExtremeXOS 16.2 User Guide.

Note

Starting with ExtremeXOS 16.2, Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) is no longer provided as a feature pack. It is incorporated into the main ExtremeXOS software image and is no longer provided as an XMOD. However, SSH2 contains strong encryption algorithms that heighten the export controls required in the US and other countries. When downloading the ExtremeXOS software image, you are required to verify that you meet the export clearance requirements. For more information, see "Software Upgrade and Boot Options" in the ExtremeXOS 16.2 User Guide

For more information on SSH2, see "Using Secure Shell 2" in the ExtremeXOS 16.2 User Guide.

¹ For the E4G-200, you obtain the MPLS feature pack by upgrading to an Advanced Edge license. For the E4G-400, the Advanced Edge license is standard and already includes the MPLS feature pack.

² To run MPLS with BlackDiamond 8900 xl-series modules, a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch requires ExtremeXOS Release 12.5 or later. BlackDiamond 8900-MSM128, and BlackDiamond 8900 xl-series modules are supported. No other modules are supported when MPLS runs on a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch with ExtremeXOS 12.5.

³ To run MPLS with BlackDiamond 8900 xm-series modules, a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch requires ExtremeXOS Release 12.6 or later, BlackDiamond 8900-MSM128, and BlackDiamond 8900 xl- or xm-series modules. No other modules are supported when MPLS runs on a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch with ExtremeXOS 12.6 or later.
