Overriding License Assignments
The Enable Configuration switch is only available when the top most node of the Structure & Tags
pane is selected. Auto Licenses can only be applied when this switch is set to ON and remains ON. The
top most node is always named ADSP and you must use this switch to enable Auto Licensing through
out the AirDefense system.
By default, any level in the Structure & Tags pane always inherits the licenses from the level above it
unless explicitly overridden.
Since Extreme AirDefense manages its devices using a hierarchy that is configured using the Structure
& Tags pane, all the nodes under the top ADSP node inherit the licenses from the top node. However,
you can override the inherited licenses at any level in the hierarchy.
To override the inherited licenses, in the Structure & Tags pane, select the node where you want to
override the inherited licenses. Then from the
control, select the Override
option. Note that the Inherited from : control always displays the name of the level from which the
licenses are inherited from. Use this information to orient your self on how the licenses are inherited.
Change the licenses for the selected level as required and then use the APPLY button to implement the
modified license settings. These licenses will now be inherited by all levels below the selected level
unless a sub-level has been explicitly overridden.
Auto Reassignment
License Auto Reassignment enables you to manage your license reassignments without manual
intervention. Generally, licenses are manually reassigned from any online, oine, or orphan device
within your network to those devices that are added to your network. When reassigning a license
manually, you would remove the license from an existing device and move it to the new device. This
feature does this action automatically if you have enabled it and have adequate number of
reassignment licenses that you can use.
Important
License Auto Reassignment works for those licenses that have enabled Auto License. For
more information, see Auto License Management on page 305.
When you purchase a feature license, you are also provided with a few reassignment licenses which you
can use as required. Reassignments of license is generally done when a device is being replaced with a
newer model or when you are reallocating assets between various sites that you manage.
Important
Please note that, at present, we support license reassignment for the following tri-radio
access points: AP 410i, AP 410e, AP 460i, and AP 460e.
