Common questions

Is this a support contract?

No. It is a right-to-use license. Juniper Care for it is a separate contract, SVC-COR-ACX5K-L-PE.

When do I need it?

When the ACX5448 must carry more than 256K FIB entries or more than 512 VRFs. Below both of those, the router doesn’t need this license.

Does it turn on IP-VPN?

No. IP-VPN is its own right-to-use license, the ACX5K-L-IPVPN. This one raises FIB and VRF scale.
