Configuration tasks

This section describes the configuration tasks for generating and obtaining a software license,

then installing it on the Brocade device. Perform the tasks in the order listed in the following table.

Installing a license file

Once you obtain a license file, you can do one of the following:

• Copy the license file to a TFTP server to which the Brocade device has access and then use

TFTP to copy the file to the license database of the ServerIron ADX device.

• Copy the license file to the ServerIron ADX internal flash memory and then add the license to

the ServerIron ADX license database.

Using TFTP to install a license file

To copy a license file from a TFTP server to the license database of the ServerIron ADX device, enter

a command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

ServerIronADX#copy tftp license 10.1.1.1 lic.xml

Syntax: copy tftp license IP_address license_filename_on_host

The IP_address variable is the address of the IPv4 TFTP server.
