Managing feature license keys
Several features of the firmware require a system specific license key to be installed to enable the feature.
This section describes how to install the feature license keys on your equipment. Because license keys comprise
very long strings of characters, the standard way of installing them is to download the file containing the
license keys from a TFTP server to the equipment. Therefore, a TFTP server must be present in the IP network
where you can store the license keys file obtained from the distributor. If no TFTP server is available, the
license key can also be manually typed (or copied and pasted) in a console or Telnet window. Both procedures
are described below.
Mode: Configure
Example: Installing license keys from a TFTP server
The following example shows the command used to install license keys, which are stored in a license file on a
TFTP server.
