Virtual Chassis*—We've included Virtual Chassis license in the Standard license model on EX2300-C 12-port Switches. However, we don't include the Virtual Chassis license on EX2300 24-port and 48-port Switch Models. You need to purchase the license separately. Every VC member requires a subscription feature license or perpetual feature license.
On EX3400, EX4100, and EX4400 Switches, the flow-based telemetry and MACsec features are supported. A separate license is required to use these features.
-
On EX4400 Switch, use the S-EX-FBT-P license SKU for flow-based telemetry feature.
-
On EX4100 and EX4100-F Switches, use the S-EX4100-FBT-P license SKU for flow-based telemetry feature.
-
Use the S-EX-MACSEC-C2-P and S-EX-MACSEC-C3-P for MACsec feature.
