Description
This typeface indicates command syntax, or represents information as it appears on
the screen.
When you see the word enter in this guide, you must type something, and then press
the Return or Enter key. Do not press the Return or Enter key when an instruction
simply says type.
[Key] names
Key names are written with brackets, such as [Return] or [Esc]. If you must press two
or more keys simultaneously, the key names are linked with a plus sign (+). Example:
Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del]
Italics emphasize a point or denote new terms at the place where they are defined in
the text. Italics are also used when referring to publication titles.
Platform-Dependent Conventions
Unless otherwise noted, all information applies to all platforms supported by ExtremeXOS software,
which are the following:
Preface
When a feature or feature implementation applies to specific platforms, the specific platform is noted in
the heading for the section describing that implementation in the ExtremeXOS command
documentation. In many cases, although the command is available on all platforms, each platform uses
specific keywords. These keywords specific to each platform are shown in the Syntax Description and
discussed in the Usage Guidelines.
Terminology
When features, functionality, or operation is specific to a switch family, the family name is used.
Explanations about features and operations that are the same across all product families simply refer to
the product as the "switch."

Overview
The ExtremeXOS software supports the following license options:
L2 Edge
Edge
Advanced Edge
Core
Feature Packs
The L2 Edge license provides a basic feature set and the Core license includes the highest level of
functionality. Each license level builds on the features of the license level below it. For example, the
Advanced Edge license includes all of the features in the L2 Edge and Edge licenses, plus the features in
the Advance Edge license. The Core license includes all of the features in the Advanced Edge license,
plus the features in the Core license. See the following table for a list of software licenses available for
each platform that supports ExtremeXOS software.
Note
The Advanced Core license is no longer offered.

Software keys are stored in the EEPROM of the chassis and, once enabled, persist through reboots,
software upgrades, power outages, and reconfigurations. Because the license is stored in the EEPROM
of the chassis (and not on the MSM/MM card), the license persists even if you change MSM/MM cards.
The keys are unique to the chassis or switch and are not transferable.
If you attempt to execute a command and you either do not have the required license or have reached
the limits defined by the current license level, the system returns one of the following messages:
Error: This command cannot be executed at the current license level.
Error: You have reached the maximum limit for this feature at this license level.
You can obtain a trial license, which allows you to use the license for 30, 60, or 90 days, and you can
downgrade trial licenses to a lower software license level during the trial period. Most feature packs are
enabled. After you enable the trial license, the switch behaves as if all software license levels and
feature packs are enabled. The trial license key contains all the necessary information on the license
level and the number of days. Once you have a trial license for any one of these periods, you cannot
extend the time of the trial. Trial licenses can be applied only once for each software version; if you
upgrade to a different software version, you can reapply your trial license.
Note
The Network Timing feature pack is not included in the trial license.

Summit X460 switches require the Advanced Edge or Core license to support MPLS.
For the E4G-200, you obtain the MPLS feature pack by upgrading to an Advanced Edge license. For the E4G-400,
the Advanced Edge license is standard and already includes the MPLS feature pack.
To run MPLS with BlackDiamond 8900 xl-series modules, a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch requires ExtremeXOS
Release 12.5 or later, BlackDiamond 8900-MSM128, and BlackDiamond 8900 xl-series modules. No other modules
are supported when MPLS runs on a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch with ExtremeXOS 12.5.
To run MPLS with BlackDiamond 8900 xm-series modules, a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch requires
ExtremeXOS Release 12.6 or later, BlackDiamond 8900-MSM128, and BlackDiamond 8900 xl- or xm-series modules.
No other modules are supported when MPLS runs on a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch with ExtremeXOS 12.6 or
later.

devices are inserted and at port enable time (CLI enable). The restriction is lifted when the proper
license is installed.
Note
Purchase of a single optics license allows all third-party devices for the life of the box.
When the first third-party high speed transceiver is detected, the system odometer value is stored in
nvram. This serves as the start time for the 90 day trial period. During the trial period, warning
messages are generated whenever a third-party high speed transceiver is detected, an attached port is
enabled, or when another day ticks off the trial period; but the ports will not be restricted until the trial
period ends. No warnings are generated if there are no flagged transceivers attached, but the trial
period will continue to count down. When the trial period expires, ports are restricted when the next
enable is performed (a port actively forwarding data will not be immediately restricted).
Caveats and Restrictions
The ExtremeXOS 3rd Party Optics Licensing feature has the following caveats and restrictions:
The system reads and interprets the license information, and maintains a flag that indicates the
presence of the optics license.
The system reads and interprets the trial period time, and generates a message if a threshold is
reached.
The system determines if the port is restricted (especially in cases where the trial period expired,
and the port was active before).
The system generates a warning message to a console with restricted ports.
The system generates a warning EMS message that indicates a restriction, or trial period status.
When you enable a license, the system reads and interprets the new license information. If it
determines the optics license is now active, and it was not active before, the following conditions occur:

SSH contains strong encryption algorithms which heighten the export controls required in the US and
other countries. Once the export clearance requirements are met, there is no charge to download the
SSH modular software package and enable this feature. For more information, see Software Upgrade
and Boot Options
For more information on SSH2, see Using Secure Shell 2 in the ExtremeXOS User Guide.
