Managing Licenses for the EX Series Switch (J-Web Procedure)

This topic applies only to the J-Web Application package.

To enable and use some Junos OS features on an EX Series switch, you must purchase, install, and manage separate software licenses. Each switch requires one license. For a Virtual Chassis deployment, two licenses are recommended for redundancy. After you have configured the features, you see a warning message if the switch does not have a license for the feature.

Before you begin managing licenses, be sure that you have:

  • Obtained the needed licenses. For information about how to purchase software licenses, contact your Juniper Networks sales representative.

  • Understand what makes up a license key. For more information, see License Key Components for the EX Series Switch.

This topic includes the following tasks:

  1. In the J-Web interface, select Maintain > Licenses.
