Questions & Answers
What is the LICS Scaling Limit 4K Subscribers MX M Series license?
The LICS Scaling Limit 4K Subscribers MX M Series license (SKU S-SA-256K) enables up to 4,000 concurrent subscriber sessions on MX-series routers, optimizing network capacity for service providers and large enterprises.
Which MX M Series platforms support the 4K Subscribers license?
The 4K Subscribers license is compatible with MX40, MX80, MX104, MX240, MX480 and MX960 routers running Junos OS Release 17.3R1 or later.
How do I install the 4K Subscribers license on my MX M Series router?
Upload the license file to the router’s /config directory, then commit it with the CLI command ‘request system license add <license-file>’. The router will validate and activate the 4K Subscribers license immediately.
Can I upgrade from a lower subscriber license to the 4K limit?
Yes. Purchase the 4K Subscribers license (SKU S-SA-256K) and install it per the CLI instructions. The system automatically replaces the existing license and scales subscriber capacity to 4,000.
How do I verify the active subscriber license on MX M Series?
Run ‘show system license’ in the Junos CLI. The output lists all installed licenses, including the LICS Scaling Limit 4K Subscribers entry with its expiration date and status.
Does the 4K Subscribers license have an expiration date?
No. The LICS Scaling Limit 4K Subscribers license is perpetual and does not expire, ensuring ongoing support for up to 4,000 subscribers without recurring fees.
What support options are available for the 4K Subscribers license?
Juniper Care Support is available for hardware, software updates, and 24x7 technical assistance, covering issues related to the 4K Subscribers license on MX M Series platforms.
How does the 4K license impact performance and resource usage?
Enabling the 4K Subscribers license reserves additional forwarding-plane resources. Ensure the MX router has sufficient memory and SPC capacity to support the full subscriber scale.
Can I combine multiple subscriber licenses on one MX router?
No. Only one subscriber scaling license can be active per routing engine. The 4K license supersedes lower-tier licenses and is limited to a single instance.
What is the lead time for procuring the 4K Subscribers license?
Standard lead time is 2–3 business days, subject to channel partner stock and purchase order processing. Expedited procurement may be available upon request.
Does the 4K Subscribers license support dynamic subscriber scaling?
Yes. The license automatically provisions resources for up to 4,000 subscribers, handling dynamic session creation and tear-down without manual intervention.
How do I monitor subscriber usage against the 4K limit?
Use ‘show subscribers summary’ in the CLI to display current active sessions. Integrate with SNMP MIBs (jnxSubscriberMib) for automated monitoring and alerts.
Is the 4K Subscribers license transferable between devices?
No. Licenses are bound to the router’s chassis-ID. To move a license, initiate a support ticket for deactivation on the original device and reactivation on the new one.
What features unlock with the 4K Subscribers license?
In addition to scaling capacity, you gain advanced subscriber management, per-subscriber policies, enhanced analytics and integration with Juniper Session Smart features.
How do I renew support for the 4K Subscribers license?
Support renewal follows the Juniper Care cycle. Contact your account manager 60 days before expiration for pricing and order processing to maintain continuous coverage.
Where can I find detailed documentation for the 4K Subscribers license?
