vRR License Key
Hello everyone,

I'm hoping that someone here with vRR in production is able to answer me this simple question:

After obtaining the appropriate license, is there a key that needs to be activated or installed?

Is there a command like setting R or IR mode on a hardware MPC? Is this just a paper license???

None of the information we received from Juniper upon purchase gives any indication. I have been trying to get an answer officially all week. I have been through our VAR, technical and sales reps, regional sales rep, and a Customer Service Leader, and not one of them has been able to tell me whether or not I should have a key, or generate one in the Agile portal, or what. I've been waiting on an admin ticket for two days on what should be a "yes" or "no" question.

pls halp


Thanks
Ross

Hi Ross,

As far as I'm aware, vRR doesn't require any licensing within the instance
(which probably also makes sense given it does not permit any
forwarding-plane traffic).

Likewise, a quick review of a production vRR box shows nothing interesting:

admin@rr.bne01> show version
Hostname: rr.bne01
Model: vrr
Junos: 18.4R1-S1.1
[...]

admin@rr.bne01> show chassis hardware
Hardware inventory:
Item Version Part number Serial number Description
Chassis VRxxxxxxxxxx VRR
Midplane
Routing Engine RE-VRR

admin@rr.bne01> show system license
License usage:
Licenses Licenses Licenses Expiry
Feature name used installed needed
scale-subscriber 0 10 0
permanent
scale-l2tp 0 1000 0
permanent
scale-mobile-ip 0 1000 0
permanent

Licenses installed: none

admin@rr.bne01>
