NAC License different?

Hi anybody,,

our nac-system shows nac1 "End-System Capacity": 2146/3000" and nac2 "End-System Capacity:
1554/3000".

What happens during the update with the clients on e.g. nac1?

Our license is 5000.

Best Bernd

Hello,

Please take a look at the following article:

https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/How_To/NAC-Troubleshooting-Tips-Licensing-issues

Capacity and End system licensing are independent of each other. End System licensing is how much the entire system is licensed to use and End System Capacity is how much a single appliance should be able to handle from a resource perspective.

A system may be licensed for 100k users, but that does not mean a NAC appliance can handle authentication for 100k users.

Let me know if this answers your question.

Thanks

-Ryan

Hi Ryan,

thanks for your answer, I am updating and the clients are switching to the active appliance. Even after Ubuntu update everything went smoothly.
