Parameters

slot slot-number: Specifies the member ID of an IRF member device. (In IRF mode.)

Usage guidelines

Use this command if the free license storage (see the display license feature command) is not sufficient.

This command clears expired licenses and uninstalled licenses that are installed by using activation files or activation keys.

If uninstalled licenses or expired licenses exist on the device, the compression operation will make the DID change. Before performing a compression, make sure all licenses registered with the old DID have been installed. You will be unable to install such licenses after the compression.

This command clears invalid licenses (expired licenses and uninstalled licenses) and Uninstall keys from the license storage area. Back up the Uninstall keys before you compress the license storage.

Examples

# (In standalone mode.) Compress the license storage.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license compress

This command will delete all data relevant to uninstalled and expired keys/licenses, including Uninstall keys, and create a new device ID for activation keys/files. Make sure you have saved the Uninstall keys so you can apply for a new activation key/file for the unexpired licenses that were covered by the uninstalled activation keys/files.

network-admin

Usage guidelines

Specify the IP address, username, and password of the license server before enabling the license client. Otherwise, the configuration fails.

After you enable the license client, the device automatically initiates a connection to the license server. The license server verifies the license client identity through the username and password. If they are consistent with those specified on the license server, the license client passes authentication. Then the client can apply for licenses from the license server and use the licensed features.

Examples

# Enable the license client.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license client enable

license client install feature

Use license client install feature to apply for feature licenses from the license server and install them.

Use undo license client install feature to uninstall feature licenses and release them.

Parameters

bras-4vcpu: Specify a BRAS 4-vCPU license. The license allows 4 vCPUs for the BRAS feature.

bras-8vcpu: Specify a BRAS 8-vCPU license. The license allows 8 vCPUs for the BRAS feature.

ipsec-acc-2g: Specify an IPSec license that allows 2Gbps bandwidth.

l3vpn-50 count l3vpn-count: Specify the number of L3VPN-50 licenses, each allowing 50 L3VPNs.

sslvpn-100: Specify an SSL VPN-100 license.

sslvpn-1000: Specify an SSL VPN-1000 license.

sslvpn-25: Specify an SSL VPN-25 license.

sslvpn-500: Specify an SSL VPN-500 license.

count count: Specifies the maximum number of SSL VPN licenses, in the range of 1 to 64.

Usage guidelines

The n in the sslvpn-n license represents the number of SSL VPNs allowed on a virtual device. The number of allowed SSL VPNs are accumulated as multiple SSL VPN licenses are installed on a virtual device.

The number of L3VPNs allowed on a virtual device are accumulated as multiple L3VPN-50 licenses are installed on the device. The total number of L3VPNs allowed on a virtual device cannot exceed the upper limit on the L3VPN count supported by the device.

After a license is uninstalled and released, the license server withdraws the license. The withdrawn license can be used on other virtual devices within the validity period.

Examples

# Apply for one SSL VPN-100 license and install it.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license client install feature sslvpn-100 count 1

license client install standard

Parameters

1vcpu-1year: Specifies the 1-vCPU license with 1-year validity period.

1vcpu-3year: Specifies the 1-vCPU license with 3-year validity period.

1vcpu-permanent: Specifies the 1-vCPU license with permanent validity period.

4vcpu-1year: Specifies the 4-vCPU license with 1-year validity period.

4vcpu-3year: Specifies the 4-vCPU license with 3-year validity period.

4vcpu-permanent: Specifies the 4-vCPU license with permanent validity period.

8vcpu-1year: Specifies the 8-vCPU license with 1-year validity period.

8vcpu-3year: Specifies the 8-vCPU license with 3-year validity period.

8vcpu-permanent: Specifies the 8-vCPU license with permanent validity period.

l3vpn-advance: Specifies the permanent L3VPN license. The license allows 256 vCPUs and 240 L3VPNs.

license-type: Specify a standard license type in the format of m(v)cpu-nyear or m(v)cpu-permanent. The value for m represents the number of physical or vCPUs, and the value for n represents the number of license validity years. Make sure the specified license already exists on the license server.

Usage guidelines

Each virtual device comes with a trail license that allows 256 vCPUs free for 180 days. The trial period starts when the virtual device is created. To ensure service continuity, execute this command to apply for a formal license from the license server and install it before the trail period expires.

Choose a proper formal license to match the virtual device requirement. The number of licensed vCPUs must be equal to or greater than the vCPU upper limit supported by the virtual device. The upper limit is defined when the virtual device is created. For example, for a virtual device supporting a maximum of 5 vCPUs, an 8-vCPU license will be appropriate.

By default, a virtual device allows 8191 L3VPNs. The installation of a vCPU license does not affect this number count, but an l3vpn-advance license does. To license more than 8 vCPUs, you need to install the l3vpn-advance license. After installation, the number of allowed vCPUs is increased to 256, but the number of licensed L3VPNs is decreased to 240. In this case, you can use either of or both the following methods to increase the number of L3VPNs allowed on the virtual device:

·     Remote licensing—Execute the license client install feature l3vpn-50 count l3vpn-count command to apply for l3vpn-50 licenses from the license server. The number of L3VPNs on the virtual device will be accumulated.

·     Local licensing—Install the L3VPN advance licenses and L3VPN-50 licenses on the virtual device.

The number of licensed L3VPNs cannot exceed the L3VPN upper limit supported by the device.

Each virtual device supports only one standard license. If you apply for a new standard license on the device where a standard license has been installed, the license client will first uninstall the existing license and release it, and then apply for the new license.

Before applying for a standard license, make sure the license client and license server are reachable to each other, and the requested license exists on the license server.

After a license is uninstalled and released, the license server withdraws the license. The withdrawn license can be used on other virtual devices within the validity period.

Examples

# Apply for standard license 1vcpu-1year from the license server and install it.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license client install standard 1vcpu-1year

license server

Use license server to specify the IP address and port number of the license server.

Use undo license server to delete the license server settings on the license client.

Parameters

ipv4-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the license server.

port-number: Specifies the port number of the license server, in the range of 1 to 65535.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies a VPN instance to which the license server belongs. The vpn-instance-name argument is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If the license server is on the public network, do not specify this option.

Usage guidelines

You can specify a maximum of four license servers on the license client. Each license server is uniquely identified by the combination of an IP address, a port number, and a VPN instance.

When the upper limit is reached, you cannot specify new license servers unless you delete existing license server settings.

If you apply for a new standard license on a device with a standard license installed, the license client will first uninstall the existing license and release it, and then apply for the new license.

As a best practice, make sure only one license server is reachable.

To modify the license server settings on an enabled license client, disable the license client first.

Examples

# Specify 192.168.100.1 and 5001 as the IPv4 address and port number of the license server, respectively.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license server ipv4 192.168.100.1 port 5001
