To obtain a license key, use the contact information provided in your certificate. If you have not purchased the AFL or EFL and installed the license key, you receive warnings when you try to commit the configuration: [edit protocols] 'bgp' warning: requires 'bgp' license error: commit failed: (statements constraint check failed) The system generates system log (syslog) alarm messages notifying you that the feature requires a license—for example: Sep 3 05:59:11 craftd[806]: Minor alarm set, BGP Routing Protocol usage requires a license Sep 3 05:59:11 alarmd[805]: Alarm set: License color=YELLOW, class=CHASSIS, reason=BGP Routing Protocol usage requires a license Sep 3 05:59:11 alarmd[805]: LICENSE_EXPIRED: License for feature bgp(47) expired Output of the show system alarms command displays the active alarms: user@switch show system alarms 1 alarm currently active Alarm time Class Description 2009-09-03 06:00:11 UTC Minor BGP Routing Protocol usage requires a license Cheers, Mark. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
