Overview

This document introduces the licenses and feature packs available for the ExtremeXOS 16.2 software and lists the features they support.

The ExtremeXOS software supports the following license options:

• L2 Edge
• Edge
• Advanced Edge
• Core
• Feature Packs

The L2 Edge license provides a basic feature set and the Core license includes the highest level of functionality. Each license level builds on the features of the license level below it. For example, the Advanced Edge license includes all of the features in the L2 Edge and Edge licenses, plus the features in the Advance Edge license. The following table lists the software licenses available for each platform that supports ExtremeXOS software.

Software keys are stored in the EEPROM of the chassis and, once enabled, persist through reboots, software upgrades, power outages, and reconfigurations. Because the license is stored in the EEPROM of the chassis (and not on the MSM/MM card), the license persists even if you change MSM/MM cards. The keys are unique to the chassis or switch and are not transferable.

If you attempt to execute a command and you either do not have the required license or have reached the limits defined by the current license level, the system returns one of the following messages:

Error: This command cannot be executed at the current license level.

Error: You have reached the maximum limit for this feature at this license level.
