Working with Lic enses on a Multiple Contro ller Network
In order to configure each featureon the local controller, the master controller(s) must be licensed for each feature
configuredon the local Dell controllers. If present,a backup master must be licensed with the same features as the
Master.Backup Dell controllers are “hot-standby”, that is, the backup controller processes AP, traffic, etc. while
standing by in backup mode.
Best practices is to installt he same set of feature licenses on every controller in your network.
Using License s
Licenses are platformi ndependentand can be installed on any Dell controller. Installation of the feature license
unlocksthat feature’s functionality for the maximum capacity of the controller.
NOTE:The l icense limits are enforced until you reach the controller limit (see Table 27)
Table2 6 lists how licenses are consumed on the Controllers.
