Enabling the Advanced Edge Functionality

To enable the Advanced Edge software feature license, use the following command:

enable license advanced-edge

where

license_key

is an integer.

NOTE

The command

unconfig switch all

does not clear licensing information. Once it is enabled on the

switch, this license cannot be disabled.

Verifying the Advanced Edge License

To verify the Advanced Edge license, use the

show switch

command.

Obtaining an Advanced Edge License

You can order the desired functionality from the factory, using the appropriate model of the desired
product. If you order licensing from the factory, the switch arrives packaged with a certificate that
contains the unique license key(s), and instructions for enabling the correct functionality on the switch.
The certificate is typically packaged with the switch documentation. Once the license key is entered, it
should not be necessary to enter the information again. However, we recommend keeping the certificate
for your records.

You can upgrade the Advanced Edge licensing of an existing product by purchasing a voucher for the
desired product and functionality. Please contact your supplier to purchase a voucher.

The voucher contains information and instructions on obtaining a license key for the switch using the
Extreme Networks Support website at:

http://esupport.extremenetworks.com

or by phoning Extreme Networks Technical Support at:

Security Licensing for Features Under License Control

Certain additional ExtremeWare security features, such as the use of Secure Shell (SSH2) encryption,
might be under United States export restriction control. Extreme Networks ships these security features
in a disabled state. In order to enable the use of these features, you must first obtain an export license,
which you can do through Extreme Networks (at no extra charge).

SSH2 Encryption

ExtremeWare version 6.0 and above supports the SSH2 protocol. SSH2 allows the encryption of Telnet
session data. The encryption methods used are under U.S. export restriction control.

To obtain information on enabling SSH2 encryption, access the Extreme Networks Support website at:
