Hi,
Does anyone has a QFX5200-32C gear with a "Junos Base Services" license? Does that license technically allow running BGP?
Currently I have a QFX5100 which only gives me warning "This feature requires a license" during commit but BGP routing works fine. So I'm wandering if that trick works in QFX5200..

Um, you do realise that all the major vendors (including that well Known
vendor) have people on this list ? Sending a question about taking advantage
of said vendors light handed approach to licencing to this list is somewhat
less than subtle ?
I think his use of the word "trick" is what triggered your firewall :-).
He could easily re-phrase the question as "Is there any risk with
running BGP on the QFX5200 with the license warning"?
Juniper already know that a lot of operators run their kit this way.
Their only recourse is to enforce license limits in software, and we are
seeing that with later releases + newer platforms.
Mark.
And the question is: is the QFX5200 platform that newer platform which
has license limits enforced?
It seems limits currently are "soft" as in previous platforms according
to vendor's documentation:
"Note: If you try to configure a feature that is not licensed, you will
receive syslog messages saying that you are using a feature that is
licensable and that you do not possess a license for the feature. If
you try to commit configuration changes for a feature that is not
licensed, you will receive a commit warning saying that you have
exceeded the allowed license limit for the feature."
