Hi Skeeve, This has already been discussed in the "Junos 12.3 Release Date" thread and a Juniper employee has stated that this is a documentation error that will fixed.

All, Something has just been pointed out to me, and I'd like to get the communities take on it. It seems that Juniper has moved features to the Advanced Features License in 12.3. *This is the link for the EX License Overview on 12.2* http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos12.2/topics/concept/ex-series -software-licenses-overview.html#jd0e146 Features Requiring a License on EX3200, EX4200, EX4500, EX4550, EX6200, and EX8200 Switches To use the following features on Juniper Networks EX3200, EX4200, EX4500, EX4550, EX6200, and EX8200 Ethernet Switches, you must install an advanced feature license (AFL): - Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and multiprotocol BGP (MBGP) - Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) - IPv6 protocols: OSPFv3, RIPng, IS-IS for IPv6, IPv6 BGP - MPLS with RSVP-based label-switched paths (LSPs) and MPLS-based circuit cross-connects (CCCs) --- *This is the link for the EX License Overview on 12.3* http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos12.3/topics/concept/ex-series -software-licenses-overview.html#jd0e146 Features Requiring a License on EX3200, EX4200, EX4500, EX4550, EX6200, and EX8200 Switches To use the following features on Juniper Networks EX3200, EX4200, EX4500, EX4550, EX6200, and EX8200 Ethernet Switches, you must install an advanced feature license (AFL): - Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and multiprotocol BGP (MBGP) - Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) - Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) - Multicast Listener Discovery version 1 and 2 (MLDv1 and MLDv2) - MPLS with RSVP-based label-switched paths (LSPs) and MPLS-based circuit cross-connects (CCCs) - Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) - RIPng (RIP next generation) - OSPFv1/v2 (with four active interfaces) - OSPFv3 - S-VLAN - Unicast reverse-path forwarding (RPF) - Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) - Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) Doesn't this increase the cost of these switches by a ton of money if you want features you used to get for free? I would have thought that IPv6 would have been something that would have started to be in the base license since everyone is starting to need it as standard. This sounds a little opportunistic in my opinion. This looks like these layer 3 switches are becoming more and more like Layer 2 dumb switches the higher the Junos version goes. Maybe 13.x will have IPv4 in AFL? ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd ske...@eintellegonetworks.com ; www.eintellegonetworks.com Phone: 1300 239 038; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/networkceoau ; blog: www.network-ceo.net We are the bridge between business and technology Juniper - Cisco - Cloud _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp -- Message protected by MailGuard: e-mail anti-virus, anti-spam and content filtering.http://www.mailguard.com.au/mg _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
