The Base License includes the features in the following table:
| Switch Engine Software Feature | Supported Platforms |
|---|---|
|
AVB
|
All platforms, except 4120, 4220, 5320-XT, and 7720. Universal platforms have the AVB Feature License included in the Advanced Edge or Base License. You do not need to separately purchase and install the AVB Feature License for these switches. |
| BGP Auto-peering | All platforms |
| BGP peers—Switches are allowed up to 2 manually configured BGP peers on the default VR with a base license. | All platforms |
