As shown in Example 3-8, this feature set supersedes the licensed feature set of the local unit as long as it continues to participate in a failover pair or a cluster. Notice that the combined count of 1000 sessions from the individual licenses exceeds the Total VPN session count of 750 for this platform this causes the downward adjustment.Īfter license aggregation, each failover peer or cluster member displays an additional section in the output of the show version and show activation-key commands to reflect the combined active feature set of the device. After aggregating these capacities, each device in this failover pair allows up to 750 sessions for this feature. Consider a failover pair of Cisco ASA 5525-X appliances where both the primary and secondary units have the active An圜onnect Premium Peers licenses for 500 sessions each. This happens even if the particular tiered counts for the same feature do not match between all participating members.
CISCO ASA SHOW LICENSE COMMAND SOFTWARE
Cisco ASA 5500-X appliances require Cisco ASA 9.1(4) software to use this feature, and it is enabled by default on all Cisco ASA 5515-X, ASA 5525-X, ASA 5545-X, and ASA 5555-X models and on the Cisco ASA 5512-X with the Security Plus license. For clustering, each Cisco ASA 5580 and ASA 5585-X unit must have the Cluster feature enabled independently.These have to match because all cluster members must have the 10GE I/O feature in the same state. For clustering, all participating Cisco ASA 5585-X appliances with SSP-10 and SSP-20 must have either the Base license or the Security Plus license.For failover, Cisco ASA 5505, ASA 5510, and ASA 5512-X appliances must have the Security Plus license installed.After the changes in Cisco ASA 8.3(1) software, only the following license requirements remain for the ASA devices that participate in failover or clustering: Given that most designs used the Active/Standby failover configuration, this led to underutilization of licensed capacities. Prior to Cisco ASA Software version 8.3(1), both units in a failover pair required identical licensed feature sets.
