License

SoodarOS uses a license manager to allow users to choose their plans and use the trial version flexibly. To change the licensing, one needs to create a license request and send it to the corporation for signing. Once the signed certificate is imported, its effect is immediate.

Default license

When SoodarOS lacks a license file, it continues to work. But restrictions are applied. These restrictions are:

Drop supporting ethernets faster than 10Gigabit ethernet.
Support a maximum of 4 hardware interfaces wit accumulated capacity of 10G.
Limit VPLS interfaces count to 2.
Limit VXLAN interfaces count to 2.
Limit VLAN interfaces count to 2.
Limit IPSec profiles to 2 profiles.
Support up to 2 Access-list.
Limit access-list entries to 10 per ACL.
Support up to 2 Policy map.
NAT44 IP pool is limited to 1 pool of 1 IP address.
NAT44 static entries are limited to 2 entries.
Limit VRFs to 2 VRFs( not counting default VRF).
Limit SLA definitions to 2.
Limit Tracks to 2 each could be tracked by one item.
Wireguard interfaces is restricted to 1 instances with a maximum of 2 peers.

License request

To import a license, an enrollment is needed. SoodarOS makes a license request on first boot. This request can be displayed on the screen or copied to a removable storage.

show license license-request: Display license request on screen.

copy system:license-request device: [force]

Copy license request file to a removable storage like a USB disk.

force: An optional parameter that forces the copy operation and replace existing files.

Note

device URI is: device:DEVNAME/[path].

Example:

soodar# ! copy license request to USB disk volume sda1 and in a file named soodar-license-request.txt
soodar# copy system:license-request device:sda1/soodar-license-request.txt

Import license

Importing a signed license is by copying from a removable storage or copy-pasting the license on the screen.

license import license terminal: Import a signed license.

copy device: license: [force]

The command is used to import a signed license file from a removable storage device like a USB disk to the device.

device: specifies the source to be a removable storage connected to the router, such as a USB drive.
force: An optional parameter that forces the copy operation and replace existing files.

Note

device URI is: device:DEVNAME/[path].

Note

license URI is: license:.

Example:

soodar# ! copy license from USB disk volume sda1
soodar# copy device:sda1/soodar-signed-license.txt license:

Show license

Checking current limits( and used quotas) is done via show license command.

show license: Show current license limits.

Note

A negative value for a resource limit means that the resource is unlimited.

Example :

n1# show license
  License found: Yes
