Download EPUBLicense Mismatch
A stack might have a failed node even though the show licenses command shows that all nodes are running the same license and/or feature packs.
To fix a license mismatch, do the following:
-
At the master node's console, enter show slot
slot_number repeatedly until you find the
slot node that is failing.
Note
When you are creating a stack, a blinking orange MGMT light usually indicates a license mistmatch on a master-capable standby node. - Enter unconfigure stacking at the master node to unconfigure the stack.
-
After making a connection to the failed switch's slot, update the license
information for that node:
- Enter clear license-info
- Enter reboot
-
Obtain the correct license information for
the failed switch, then enter # enable license license_key (where license_key has the
format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx)
For more information about licensing for stack nodes, see Managing Licenses on a Stack.
-
Enter show stacking
and enable stacking to
re-enable the stack.
Note
Before EXOS version 12.5, all switches in the stack had to have the upgrade/feature license installed. After EXOS version 12.5, only the first two switches in the stack (the master and master-capable standby) must have the upgrade/feature license installed..
