Activating Licensed Features

Activating Licensed Features
In order to enable advanced features, such as redundant management, routing protocols, and
extended ACLs on a Matrix Series device, you must purchase and activate a license key. If you
have purchased a license, you can proceed to activate your license as described in this section. If
you wish to purchase a license, contact Enterasys Networks Sales.

About Redundant Management on Matrix DFE-Gold Series Modules

The DFE‐Gold System Management Module (SMM) coordinates and controls the configuration of
the entire chassis. By default, this is the module installed in slot 1. Access to the SMM is available
through any console (COM) port on any module in the chassis. Only one CLI session can be active
at any one time, and active status is granted to the first connection to any of the console ports.
In order to enable switch and routing redundancy on a Matrix DFE‐Gold Series device, you must
purchase and activate a license key. If you have purchased a redundancy license, you can proceed
to activate it as described in this section. If you wish to purchase a redundancy license, contact
Enterasys Networks Sales.
When a redundancy license key is purchased and activated as described in this section,
redundancy can be configured on the module in slot 2 of the chassis. Then, in the event module 1
fails, module 2 will assume chassis management.

Purpose
