Managed MPLS product count calculation

NOTE

If you exceed the maximum product count for your version, software functionality is impacted and
you must reduce the product count using the Discover Setup - IP dialog box or contact your vendor
to purchase an additional license for your version.

The managed MPLS product count is calculated using the following rules:

Any device discovered with VLL, LSP, and VPLS configured is counted as an MPLS device.

Each IronWare Ethernet Core router or Ethernet Backbone router device with an MPLS license
is counted as one MPLS device.

Each set of three IronWare Ethernet Carrier router and/or Ethernet Edge router devices with an
MPLS license are counted as one MPLS device. You must discover three devices before the
Management application counts one MPLS device.

NOTE

Each IronWare Ethernet Carrier router or Ethernet Edge router device counts as one device in
the Managed IP product count calculation.
