    Hi

    I have a question, if I have 2 "Aruba ClearPass C2000" with 1 "Aruba ClearPass NL AC 2500 CE E-LTU", 1 "Aruba ClearPass NL OB 100 USR E-LTU", and 1 "Aruba ClearPass NL OG 100 EP E-LTU installed" on the CLUSTER, which are currently in 1 + 1 mode. Will the OnBoard and OnGuard licenses be lost if any of the 2 appliances goes down?

     

    Regard,

    Carlos Villanueva

    Licenses are "pooled" for the entire cluster to use. As long as your cluster and failover is configured correctly there will not be any problems.

    So, do I not need to buy more OnBoard and OnGuard licenses to have high availability?

    As long as everything is configured correctly and both your Clearpass servers are in the same cluster then you need as many Onboard and Onguard licenses as you will consume. You do not need to buy additional for HA. Again as long as everything is configured correctly.

    Thank you very much, for versions before 6.7, is it the same?.
