Managing Licenses on a Stack

The SummitStack feature is not licensed separately. You can use the SummitStack feature with an Edge license.

Note

For successful operation, the effective license level of all master-capable nodes must be the same.

The rules for licensing are:

At startup, the license level the stack uses is the effective license level of the elected master node.

If the stack is using the Advanced Edge license and you attempt to add a master-capable node that is using an Edge license, the node does not become operational and shows as Failed with a License Mismatch reason when using the show slot {slot {detail} | detail } command.
Master-capable nodes continuously monitor the effective license level of the master node
Nodes with higher licenses levels than other nodes can be restricted to operate at a lower or effective license level.
