license

Adds a license pack on the device for the specified feature (AP/AAP/ADSEC/HTANLT/WEBF/NSIGHT/NSIGHT-PER)

The WiNG HM network defines a three-tier structure, consisting of multiple wireless sites managed by a single Network Operations Center NOC controller, The NOC controller constitutes the first and the site controllers constitute the second tier of the hierarchy. The site controllers may or may not be grouped to form clusters. The site controllers in turn adopt and manage access points that form the third tier of the hierarchy.

The NOC controllers and/or site controllers can both have license packs installed. Adoption of APs by the NOC and site controllers depends on the number of licenses available on each of these controllers.

The NOC controllers and/or site controllers can both have license packs installed. When a AP is adopted by a site controller, the site controller pushes a license on to the AP. The various possible scenarios are:

AP licenses installed only on NOC controller:
The NOC controller provides the site controllers with AP licenses, ensuring that per platform limits are not exceeded.
AP licenses installed on site controller:
The site controller uses its installed licenses, and then asks the NOC controller for additional licenses in case of a shortage.

In a hierarchical and centrally managed network, the NOC controller can pull unused AP licenses from site controllers and relocate to other site controllers when required.
AP licenses installed on any member of a site cluster:
The site controller shares installed and borrowed (from the NOC) licenses with other controllers within a site cluster.

Supported on the following devices:

Access Points: AP3000/X, AP5010, AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP505i, AP510i, AP510e, AP560i, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP8163, AP8533.
Service Platforms: NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600
Virtual Platforms: CX9000, VX9000

Syntax

license <WORD> <LICENSE-KEY>

Parameters

license <WORD> <LICENSE-KEY>


<WORD>	Specify the feature name (AP/AAP/ADSEC/HTANLT/WEBF/NSIGHT/NSIGHT-PER) for which license is added. AP License: This is the license key required for AP adoptions. The number of APs that can be adopted depends on the installed license count. If the installed license count is 10 APs and the number of AP adoptions is 5, 5 additional APs can still be adopted under the terms of the license. AAP License: This is the license key required for AAP adoptions. The number of AAPs that can be adopted depends on the installed license count. If the installed license count is 10 APs and the number of AAP adoptions is 5, 5 additional AAPs can still be adopted under the terms of the license. ADSEC License: This is the license key required to install the Role Based Firewall feature and increase the number of IPSec VPN tunnels. The number of IPSec tunnels varies by platform. HTANLT: This is the license key required to install Analytics (an enhanced statistical management tool) for NX9500 and NX9600 series service platforms. WEBF License: This is the license key required to install the Web filtering feature. Web filtering is used to restrict access to specific resources on the Internet. NSIGHT/NSIGHT-PER Licenses: This is the license key required to install NSight on a supported service platform. The NSight UI displays a comprehensive, day-to-day overview of the network in a graphical, visually interactive, and easy-to-use format. However, NSight being a licensed service, on expiration of the first 120 days grace period, the NSight server‘s NSight UI can be launched only on the application of the NSight or NSight-Per (NSight Perpetual) license. The difference between the NSight and NSight-Per licenses is that the first one has an expiration date, whereas the latter doesn‘t have an expiration date. Once purchased and applied, the NSight-Per license is active forever, and is therefore ideally suited for a Replica-set, NSight deployment, where it is essential that the license is perpetually active and synched across the NSight servers and their primary and secondary databases. Note: NSight is supported only on NX9500, NX9600, and VX9000.
<LICENSE-KEY>	Specify the license key.
