There are three ways to install the license onto the switch:

• Copy and paste the license key into the cl-license command: cumulus@switch:~$ sudo cl-license -i
  <paste license key
  ^+d

• Copy the license from a local server. Create a text file with the license and copy it to a server accessible from the switch. On the switch, use the following command to transfer the file directly on the switch, then install the license file: cumulus@switch:~$ scp
  user@my_server:/home/user/my_license_file. txt .
  cumulus@switch:~$ sudo cl-license -i my_license_file.txt

• Copy the file to an HTTP server (not HTTPS), then reference the URL when yoff run cl-license: cumulus@switch:~$  sudo cl-license -i

| CAUTION: It is not necessary to reboot the switch to activate the switch ports. After yoff install the license, restart the switchd service. All front panel ports become active and show up as swp1, swp2, and so on.

Troubleshooting

Power System Troubleshooting

According to the power indicator on the front panel, the switches can be used to determine whether the power system of the switch is faulty. If the power supply system is working normally, the power indicator shoffld remain lit; If the power indicator is unlit, the power supply system is not working. Please check the following:

• Whether the switch power cable is connected correctly.
• Whether the power supply of the switch matches the required power supply.

Configuration System Troubleshooting

Afterthe switch is powered on, if the system is normal, the startup information will be displayed on the configuration terminal. If there is something wrong with the configuration system, the configuration terminal may not display or display error codes.

Troubleshooting for Terminal No-show

After power-on, if the configuration terminal shows nothing, yoff can firstly check the following:

• Whether the power supply is normal.
• Whether the console cable is properly connected.

If there is no problem with the above, it is very likely that there is a problem with the configuration cable or the terminal (such as the Hyper Terminal) parameters were set incorrectly.

Troubleshooting for Terminal Show Error Codes

If the configuration terminal shows error codes, it is likely that the terminal (such as the HyperTerminal) are set incorrectly. Please confirm the parameters
