Introduction : In Master/standby and local scenario, we need to manually configure "centralized licensing" on the master controller alone. No configuration is needed on the standby and local controllers.
In this scenario the standby master will automatically become the standby license server. Master-redundancy configuration will be used for license server redundancy. All the local controllers will become license clients.
Feature Notes : Centralized licensing feature is disabled by default.
Environment : Aruba OS 6.3 and above.
Network Topology : Master/standby and local controllers.
