Stacking functionality delivery 41
A Stacking License Certificate contains instructions on how to deposit
license entitlements into a license bank, enter switch MAC address(es),
create the license file, then download and copy the license file onto each
switch requiring stacking functionality. These instructions are carried out on
the Nortel Licensing portal web site at: w
ww.nortellicensing.com.
ATTENTION
Once a valid license file is downloaded on to an Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch
2500 Series switch, you can configure the operational mode of rear ports to
Stacking Mode. Although the rear ports are set to Stacking Mode, a reboot of the
switch is required to fully enable the stacking operation.
Working with license files using the CLI
With the following commands, you can copy the license file to your switch
and display or clear the existing license information:
•
"copy tftp license command" (page 41)
•
"show license command" (page 42)
•
"clear license command" (page 42)
copy tftp license command The copy tftp license command
copies the license file from a TFTP server to your switch. After you copy the
license to the switch, you need to perform a reboot to activate the license.
ATTENTION
The license is copied to NVRAM. If you reset the switch to default, this removes
the license from the switch. But the stacking feature is enabled until you configure
the switch to Standalone Mode.
The syntax for the copy tftp license command is:
copy tftp license <A.B.C.D> <WORD>
The copy tftp license command is executed in the Privileged EXEC
command mode.
"copy tftp license command parameters" (page 41) describes the
parameters and variables for the copy tftp license command.
