Adds a license pack on the device for the specified feature
(AP/AAP/ADSEC/ADVANCED-WIPS/HTANLT/SMART-CACHE)
The Mobility HM network defines a three-tier structure, consisting of multiple wireless sites
managed by a single Network Operations Center (NOC) controller, The NOC controller constitutes
the first and the site controllers constitute the second tier of the hierarchy. The site controllers may
or may not be grouped to form clusters. The site controllers in turn adopt and manage access
points that form the third tier of the hierarchy.
The NOC controllers and/or site controllers can both have license packs installed. Adoption of APs
by the NOC and site controllers depends on the number of licenses available on each of these
controllers.
The NOC controllers and/or site controllers can both have license packs installed. When a AP is
adopted by a site controller, the site controller pushes a license on to the AP. The various possible
scenarios are:
• AP licenses installed only on NOC controller:
The NOC controller provides the site controllers with AP licenses, ensuring that per
platform limits are not exceeded.
• AP licenses installed on site controller:
The site controller uses its installed licenses, and then asks the NOC controller for
additional licenses in case of a shortage.
In a hierarchical and centrally managed network, the NOC controller can pull unused AP
licenses from site controllers and rellocate to other site controllers when required.
• AP licenses installed on any member of a site cluster:
The site controller shares installed and borrowed (from the NOC) licenses with other
controllers within a site cluster.
