You can purchase license level upgrades for ExtremeSwitching switches. All master-capable
switches in a stack must run the same license level. If the license you want to run is not
available for a specific switch, you cannot use that switch and that license level as a
master-capable switch. For example, if you want to upgrade to the core license, your
master-capable nodes must be switches that support the core
license.
To upgrade the licenses for the switches in a stack, follow these steps:
-
Log in to the master node.
-
Enter the show stacking command and note
the role (master, backup, or standby) of each node in the stack.
-
Enter the show stacking configuration
command and note any nodes that are configured with a license level restriction.
-
Install the required license level in each master-capable
node (backup and standby nodes) by logging into each node (telnet slot slot-number
) and entering the command:
enable license {software} key
-
For universal stacked switches, you do not need to log into each node for license
installation. You can install licenses on each slot from the master slot by entering the
command:
install license file
filename
slot
slot
-
Enter the license key given to you by Extreme Networks
when you purchased the upgrade.
-
Use the commands in Step 4 to install
the required license level on the master node.
-
If any nodes are configured with a license level restriction
that is lower than the intended operating license level of the stack,
log into the master node and remove the stack license level restriction
using the command:
unconfigure stacking
license-level
This command removes the restriction
on all nodes.
-
If you removed a license level restriction, reboot the
stack to put the license level restriction removal into effect using
the command:
reboot
{[time mon day year hour min sec] | cancel} {slot slot-number | node-address node-address | stack-topology {as-standby}}
-
Verify that all master-capable nodes are operating at
the intended license level.
On the master node, run show
licenses and show slot {slot {detail} | detail }.
If no slot shows as Failed, then all
master-capable nodes are operating at the effective license level shown for the master
node.
