Chapter 10: Licensing
The following sections provide information on the Licensing features, activation, and installation on
the switch.
Licensing fundamentals
This section provides conceptual information about feature licensing for the switch. Review this
section before you make changes to the license configuration.
Feature licensing
This product uses the Product Licensing and Delivery System (PLDS) as the license order, delivery
and management tool. PLDS provides self-service license activations, upgrades, moves or changes.
Note:
PLDS supports only a single host (system MAC address) for each license file. You cannot use
the same license file on multiple hosts.
PLDS Port License for VSP 7200 Series hardware
The VSP 7200 Series hardware models are now available with twenty four 1/10 GbE SFP/SFP+ and
four 40 GbE QSFP+ ports enabled by default. To enable the remaining ports on the switch, you
must purchase a Port License. The PLDS Port License can be used alone or can be combined with
a PLDS Premier or Premier plus MACsec License at any time.
PLDS Premier License
The switch requires a Premier License for Layer 3 VSNs (including Multicast), Fabric Extend and
MACsec features. These are in addition to the features covered by the Base License.
Because MACsec is not allowed in some countries, Avaya offers the following PLDS Premier
licenses with and without MACsec:
• PLDS Premier License – This license is required to enable and use the following features:
- Avaya Fabric Connect Layer 3 Virtual Services Networks (VSNs)
- Avaya Fabric Extend including the use of logical IS-IS interfaces
