  • 1.  how do I add a user role on 7210 controller

    Posted Jan 13, 2015 04:16 PM

    I have a 7210 that I am trying to configure from scratch.  I am trying to add a user rule and when I go to the configure page,  there is no add button on the page.  I am running 6.3.1.13 (or 14 I tried both).   I am logged in as admin so I don't understand why i can not add a role user or system.

    Do you have PEFNG licenses installed?

    I have not licenses installed at the moment.  I am trying to get this set up prior to putting it on the network.  I am using a centralized license server and so if it is not on the network then I can not get a license.

    You'll have to have pefng for the roles to show up.

    Will this be a master or local controller? 


    Thanks,

    Hi friend,

     

    When you are using a Master-Local setup with centralised licensing please follow these steps,

     

    1. Put all the required licenses (AP license, PEF NG )in the Controller which you want to deploy as a master.

     

    2. Now you will be able to see all the option pertaining to Roles and policies.

     

    3. Finish all the required configuration in the master and then connect the master and local controllers to the network.

     

    Note : Centralised licensing doesn't mean that the server will push the required license to other controllers, it will pool all the unused licenses from other controllers and provide licenses to controllers as per the requirement.

     

    for your ref :

    Hope, got some more clarity on this,

     

    Please feel free for any further help on this.

    thanks I forgot that you needed the licenses to add this.  I understand you don't need to put them on centralized server but that way there is not issue if that local box goes away.    I was trying to put a deployment document together with the steps to configure the controllers.  I have since figured out that it will be best to build a config file template and that way it will boot with all the info on it and not have to add it thru the gui (without a license).
