Upgrading ACE 4710 & Licensing

[swakelen]

Hello

We have two pairs of ACE 4710s, one pair running A3(2.4) and the other pair A3(2.0). We plan to upgarde the second pair so that they are running the same image as the first pair (we know they are not the latest, but this is the first step in a larger rollout plan, and to aid some troublshooting for a major issue we are seeing.)

I have details of the upgrade steps, but my question is with regards to the licenses which are now enforced after (2.0). We currently have the following on the first pair, but are these part of the default licenses for (2.4) or would we need to purchase these as well?

ACE-AP-500M-LIC

ACE-AP-C-100-LIC

ACE-AP-OPT-50-K9

ACE-AP-SSL-05k-K9

Thanks in advance

According to the release notes, the default with the ACE running A3 is :

•Performance: 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) appliance throughput

•Virtualization: 1 admin context and 5 user contexts

•Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): 100 transactions per second (TPS)

•Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) compression: 100 megabits per second (Mbps)

so you don't have to purchase anything

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I saw that, but I believe that is just for A3(2.0). After that there are licenses depending on what you want. Our 2.4 only has a licence for 500Mbps throughput, so to get to the original 1Gbps we would have to purchase an upgrade licence.

But correct me if my theory is flawed
