Write Erase - will I lose license info?

[richclaxton]

Hi,

I have a requirement to move 2 x MDS9513 switches from one site to another and add them into an existing fabric.

The configuration will need to be erased once moved in order to re-configure IP addresses, switch name etc.

The plan is to perform a "write erase"

My question is : Will a "write erase" delete any license information held on the switch?

Regards

Rich

Hello,

Please be sure to have backup Licenses before doing a "write erase" on the MDS switch.

Pease see here from Obtaining and Installing Licenses:

Tip We recommend backing up your license files immediately after installing them and just before issuing a write erase command.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Carlos
