To enable and use some Juniper Networks Junos operating system (Junos OS) features,
you must purchase, install, and manage separate software licenses. The presence on
the switch of the appropriate software license keys ("passwords") determines whether
you are eligible to configure and use certain features.
Junos OS feature licenses are universal, and the same feature can be installed and
configured on multiple switches. However, to conform to Junos OS feature licensing
requirements, you must purchase one license per switch.
For a Virtual Chassis deployment, two licenses are recommended for redundancy. These
licenses can be based on the serial numbers of any two member switches. If you add
additional member switches to the Virtual Chassis configuration, you do not need
additional licenses.
The following Junos OS features require an Advanced Feature License (AFL):
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and multiprotocol BGP (MBGP)
Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS)
IPv6 routing (except multicast protocols)
MPLS with RSVP-based label switched paths (LSPs) and MPLS-based circuit
cross-connects (CCCs)
Table 21 on page 73 lists the license you can purchase for each EX Series switch model.
The license allows you to run all the advanced software features on your switch.
For information about how to purchase a software license, contact your Juniper Networks
sales representative.
