Questions & Answers

What license tiers are available for the Juniper MX2020?

The MX2020 supports multiple license tiers—1 Gbps, 10 Gbps and Smart Licensing subscriptions—enabling scalable throughput and feature sets to match evolving network requirements.

How does Smart Licensing work on the Juniper MX2020?

Smart Licensing centrally tracks and enforces MX2020 feature entitlements via Juniper’s Junos Space or cloud-based portal, providing real-time usage visibility and automated compliance management.

Which feature licenses are offered for MX2020 routers?

MX2020 feature licenses include advanced routing (EVPN, VPLS), MPLS-TE, high-scale BGP, Segment Routing, and application acceleration, each activated via a unique license key in the Junos CLI.

How do I activate a license on the MX2020?

Log in to the Junos CLI, import the PAK or registration key via ‘request system license add’, then commit configuration to instantly enable the licensed functionality.

Can I upgrade my MX2020 license for higher throughput?

Yes. You can purchase and install an upgraded license key to raise port or system throughput tiers without hardware changes, ensuring seamless capacity scaling.

How do I check current license usage on a Juniper MX2020?

Use the ‘show system license’ command in the Junos CLI or view the Smart Licensing portal dashboard to display active entitlements and consumption metrics.

What is the difference between permanent and evaluation licenses on MX2020?

Permanent licenses provide unlimited-term feature entitlements, while evaluation licenses grant time-limited access (typically 60 days) for proof-of-concept or testing purposes.

How do I renew feature licenses on the MX2020?

Submit a renewal order through your Juniper authorized partner, receive a new PAK, and install it via ‘request system license add’ to extend feature entitlements.

Are MX2020 licenses transferable between devices?

Transferable licenses require deactivation on the source MX2020 (‘request system license revoke’) before re-licensing on the target device to maintain compliance.

How long does MX2020 license provisioning take?

License provisioning is typically completed within minutes once the PAK is registered in the Smart Licensing portal and applied via the Junos CLI.

How can I troubleshoot license activation errors on MX2020?

Verify system time, connectivity to Juniper’s license server, correct PAK syntax, and review ‘show system license status’ output for detailed error codes.

What happens when my MX2020 license expires?

Upon expiration, the MX2020 automatically disables the associated features and logs warnings; traffic will continue on base licenses but advanced functions cease.

Can one license key cover multiple MX2020 line cards?

No; each MX2020 line card requires its own feature license or aggregate system license to ensure accurate capacity and feature enforcement.

How do application acceleration licenses impact MX2020 performance?

Application acceleration licenses enable built-in FIPS-compliant DDoS mitigation, TCP proxy, and SSL offload on the MX2020’s Packet Forwarding Engine for up to 100 Gbps of optimized traffic.

Is a license required to enable QoS on the Juniper MX2020?

No; basic QoS policing and shaping functions are included in the base MX2020 software, while advanced class-based queuing requires the premium QoS feature license.

How do I order additional MX2020 licenses?

Contact your Juniper authorized reseller with the serial numbers and required feature or throughput tiers; they will generate PAKs for portal registration and deployment.
