[j-nsp] EX4600 Licensing

[Stepan Kucherenko]

EX4300 datasheet says there are several licenses, AFL and EFL, for
different versions of the switch. EFL is basically everything, OSPF,
BFD, etc. AFL is BGP and IS-IS (no MPLS).

EX4600 datasheet has only AFL license listed, required for BGP, IS-IS
and MPLS. As far as I understand, everything else is included.

So no, it's not the same as EX4300.


Speaking of EX4600, it's basically the same chipset as in QFX5100. It
can have 12 QSFP instead of 6, but still it's very similar.

Anyone knows if there is any significant difference between QFX and EX
lines on the software side ?

If there is none and you can use QFX-es in SP environment without
unexpected problems, and you don't need 12 QSFP, then you might want to
look at QFX5100 instead. Price is lower (if we count additional QSFP
mods for EX4600), and AFL license for QFXes is twice as cheap.
