ExtremeGuest Essentials and AirDefense Essentials IntegrationNEW!

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller provides support for ExtremeGuest™ Essentials and Extreme AirDefense® Essentials. To utilize these features, ExtremeCloud IQ Controller requires Pilot licenses at the system level, equivalent to the total number of managed Access Points (APs), regardless of AP model type.

For both ExtremeGuest Essentials and Extreme AirDefense Essentials: Before configuration, ExtremeCloud IQ Controller must be onboarded to ExtremeCloud IQ, and the ExtremeCloud IQ account must have a Pilot license. Also, ExtremeCloud IQ Controller must be in Pilot-only license mode.

Note

The Pilot-only license mode is configurable through a toggle option for administrators and can be reverted if necessary.
