Auto-Licensing

Auto-Licensing allows you to select licenses to be assigned to devices upon discovery. You can define licensing rules for importing BSSs and Wireless Clients into your network system.

You may define Auto-Licensing at the appliance network level all the way down to the floor network level, but you should always define Auto-Licensing at the appliance level. Any network level below the appliance level will inherit the configuration. If you need to have a different configuration below the appliance level, use the Override settings option.

Note

The Override settings option is available when you select (highlight) a network level below the appliance level. Use the Expand button to reveal the other levels.

The following rules apply:

• Only selected licenses (identified by a checkmark) are assigned.
• You can narrow the scope by selecting a network level from the network tree.
• A license will not be assigned if there are no available licenses.
• After a license assignment, the number of licenses are reduced accordingly.

Click the Apply button to save your changes. A confirmation message Successfully saved configuration is displayed next to the Reset button. Click the Reset button to return rules as they were.

If there are multiple appliances in your system, once you have defined the device import rules, you can copy the configuration to all appliances in your system by clicking Copy settings to all appliances button.

Note

You must have a Central Management license in order to copy settings to all appliances.
