License Warning Messages

For features that require a license, you must install and properly configure a license key
to meet the requirements for using the licensable feature. To obtain a license key, use
the contact information provided in your Advanced Feature License (AFL) certificate.
If you have not purchased the AFL and installed the license key, you receive warnings
after you commit a licensible feature. The system generates system log (
messages notifying you that the feature requires a license—for example:
Sep 3 05:59:11 craftd[806]:
requires a license
Sep 3 05:59:11 alarmd[805]: Alarm set: License color=YELLOW, class=CHASSIS,
reason=BGP Routing Protocol usage requires a license
Sep 3 05:59:11 alarmd[805]: LICENSE_EXPIRED: License for feature bgp(47) expired

Every time you edit or view the configuration, a message displays the committed features
that require a license. For example, when you edit the BGP configuration, a warning
message appears—for example:
[edit protocols]
user@switch# bgp
warning: requires bgp
Likewise, viewing the configuration causes the system to display a message—for example:
user@switch> show configuration protocols
## Warning: requires 'bgp' license
##
bgp {
hold-time 10;
damping;
}
