Installing a license file
Installing a license file
Once you obtain a license file, place it on a TFTP or SCP server to which the Brocade device has
access, and then use TFTP or SCP to copy the file to the license database of the Brocade device.
Using TFTP to copy a license file on FESX, SX 800
and SX 1600, and FWS devices
To copy a license file from a TFTP server to the license database of the Brocade device, enter a
command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
Brocade# copy tftp license 10.1.1.1 lic.xml
Syntax: copy tftp license [<IP_address>| <ipv6_address>] <license_filename_on_host>
The <IP_address> variable is the address of the IPv4 TFTP server.
The <ipv6_address> variable is the address of the IPv6 TFTP server.
The <license_filename_on_host> variable is the filename of the license file.
If you attempt to download the same license twice on the device, the following error message is
displayed on the console.
Can't add the license string - 93 (DUPLICATE_LICENSE)
Using TFTP to copy a license file on FCX and ICX devices
You can copy a license file from the active unit to all other member units without having to
physically disable the stack to install a license for each unit. To copy a license file from the active
unit to all other member units in the system, enter a command such as the following at the
Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
Brocade# copy tftp license 10.120.54.185 FCX_ADV_LIC_PERP.xml unit 2
Syntax: copy tftp license [<IP_address>| <ipv6_address>] <license_filename_on_host> unit
<unit_id>
The <IP_address> variable is the address of the IPv4 TFTP server.
The <ipv6_address> variable is the address of the IPv6 TFTP server.
The <license_filename_on_host> variable is the filename of the license file.
The unit <unit_id> parameter specifies a unit for which you want to add a software license file. The
<unit_id> variable can be from 1 through 8.
If you attempt to download the same license twice on the device, the following error message is
displayed on the console.
Can't add the license string - 93 (DUPLICATE_LICENSE)
Using Secure Copy to install a license
SSH and Secure Copy (SCP) must be enabled on the Brocade device before the procedures in this
section can be performed. For details, refer to the chapter Chapter 5, “SSH2 and SCP”.
