Enabling Additional Ports

You need a license to enable additional ports. Contact your Sales Representative for information on obtaining a license key. Once you have obtained the license key for additional ports on GigaVUE‑TA25A use the following command to install it:

Copy 
(config) # license install box-id <box ID> key <license key> 

where:

■   box ID is the box ID of the GigaVUE TA Series node
■   license key. Refers to the license key obtained to enable additional ports.

Enable ports before starting to issue commands in the CLI,

1.   Connect to the console port as described in the previous section.
2. Wait at least two minutes after the system prompt appears for the system to be initialized and then switch to Configure mode.

The GigaVUE TA Series node provides three command entry modes, each with increasingly powerful rights – Standard, Enable, and Configure. The jump-start script is only available in Configure mode:

a. Type en <Enter> to switch to Enable mode.

The system prompt changes from [hostname] > to [hostname] #.

b. Type config t <Enter> to switch to Config mode.

The system prompt changes from [hostname] # to [hostname] (config) #.

3. Reset the terminal settings to match the current window with the following command:

terminal resize

4. Use the port command with the admin argument to enable ports.
For example, the following two commands enable all available ports on a fully licensed GigaVUE-TA25A:

(config) # port 1/1/q1..q4 params admin enable(config) # port 1/1/x24..x48 params admin enable

5. Save your changes so that ports come up automatically at the next reboot:
