From what I've seen, the license is mainly a 'nag license,' at least for BGP.

I've got quite a few customers doing BGP on the aforementioned products without the AFL, all it appears to affect is that it whines every single time a commit is performed -- yet continues to function fine.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it, but it does offer /some/ leeway.

Sigh!

To use the following features on EX3200, EX4200, EX4500, EX4550, EX8200,
and EX9200 switches, you must install an advanced feature license (AFL):

    - Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and multiprotocol BGP (MBGP)
    - Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS)
    - IPv6 routing protocols: IS-IS for IPv6, IPv6 BGP, IPv6 for MBGP
    - Logical systems (available only on EX9200 switches)
    - MPLS with RSVP-based label-switched paths (LSPs) and MPLS-based
    circuit cross-connects (CCCs) (Not supported on EX9200 switches)

Thanks for the link, what about EX3200 ? EX3200 doesn't need AFL for l3
features?

Yes, I agree it is vague.   I'd like more information about the amount
if Layer 3 interfaces (RVI/SVI), Static routing, etc... which, the theory
if it can do OSFP, then should be able to do some of that.  Even VRRP means
layer 3 interfaces should be functional in some way.

Features Requiring a License on EX2200 Switches

For EX2200 switches, the following features can be added to basic Junos
OS by installing an enhanced feature license (EFL):

    - Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
    - Connectivity fault management (IEEE 802.1ag)
    - IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) version 1 (IGMPv1),
    IGMPv2, and IGMPv3
    - OSPFv1/v2 (with four active interfaces)
    - Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) dense mode, PIM
    source-specific mode, PIM sparse mode
    - Q-in-Q tunneling (IEEE 802.1ad)
    - Real-time performance monitoring (RPM)
    - Virtual Router
    - Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
    -

The datasheet is conveniently vague here,  Do any know whether these two
support BGP? and how much instances/peers can they support? Also, do
they
have wire routing capability (suspiciously missing from data sheet too)

BTW: Why is it so hard to get a cheap & decent l3 switch? EX2200-C looks
perfect fit for a few uplinks, too bad if it doesn't support BGP!  it's
not
like it is complex software feature or anything. EX3200 on the other
hand,
does everything, but with way too many ports necessary.
