9. Repeat steps 5-8 on each licensing client in the cluster.
Using the CLI
Access the command-line interface of the licensing server, and issue the following commands in config mode:
(host)(config) #license profile
(host)(License provisioning profile) #centralized-licensing-enable
If the licensing server already has a dedicated redundant standby switch, that standby switch will automatically
become the backup license server. If the primary licensing server in your deployment does not have a
redundant master switch but you want to define a backup server for the licensing feature, issue the following
commands on the licensing server:
(host)(License provisioning profile) #License server-redundancy
(host)(License provisioning profile) #License-vrrp <vrId>
(host)(License provisioning profile) #Peer-ip-address <ip>
If you are deploying centralized licensing in a topology where a licensing master is connected to a standalone
master licensing client switch, a redundant licensing server, and a local licensing client switch, you must issue
the command license server-ip vrrp-ip <ip-addr> to define a VRRP interface IP address as the license server
IPaddress for the local switches in this topology.
(host)(License provisioning profile)#License server-ip vrrp-ip <ip-addr>
If you are deploying centralized licensing on a cluster of master switches, or in a topololgy with multiple
master/local domains, access the command-line interface of a licensing client switch, and issue the following
commands in config mode:
(host) (config) #license profile
(host) (License provisioning profile) #centralized-licensing-enable
(host) (License provisioning profile) #license server-ip <ip>
If a switch is designated as standby license server, it does not have the license-server-ip value configured.
Installing a License
The Alcatel-Lucent licensing system is switch-based. A license key is a unique alphanumerical string generated
using the switch’s serial number and is valid only for that switch only. Licenses can be pre-installed at the
factory so all licensed features are available upon initial setup. You can also install license features yourself.
It is recommended that you obtain a user account on the Alcatel-Lucent Software License Management
website even if software license keys are preinstalled on your switch.
Enabling a New License on your Switch
The basic steps to installing and enabling a new license feature are listed below, along with references to
sections in this document with more detailed information.
1. Obtain a valid Alcatel-Lucent software license from your sales account manager or authorized reseller (see
Requesting a Software License Through Email on page 92).
2. Locate the system serial number of your switch (see Locating the System Serial Number on page 92).
3. Use your system’s serial number to obtain a software license key from the Alcatel-Lucent Software License
Management website: https://licensing.alcateloaw.com/ (see Obtaining a Software License Key on page 92).
4. Enter the software license key using one of the following procedures:
