In the install license command syntax, host-ip is either an IPv4 dotted decimal address or an
IPv6 [x:x:x:x::x] format address.
An error message is displayed if the license is corrupted or invalid.
After you enter the command, the current Z9500 port configuration and license status are displayed (see
the following example).
You must reload the switch to enable the licensed port configuration.
