pxGrid plus licensing count

umahar — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 21:59:26 GMT

Hi,

We need plus license for pxGrid. Does that mean in order to share contextual information for 50K endpoints we need to buy 50K plus licensing or a minimum plus license count should enable the functionality.

Thanks Jason. I read that. It looks like we would need equal number of plus and base licenses to support pxGrid. A 1:1 base to plus license count.

Hi Utkarsh,

Every session Info shared from ISE to the partner solution will consume a Plus license. Hence the need for 1:1 mapping with Base.

hope this helps,

Hi Hari,

When you say "partner solution" does that mean that sharing contextual information to Stealthwatch or Firepower (which is Cisco solution) will not consume a plus license for every session shared ?
