We get often the question how Xian Licensing works. Let us
explain it a bit. It is actually quite simple.
License Types:
For SNMP monitoring
Basic SNMP License: This one gives you the license to
monitor one standard device. Standard device are all Generic Devices and
HP Printers
Standard SNMP license: This one gives you the license to
monitor one standard device. Standard device are all Cisco Switches except
Nexus, Cisco Routers, Cisco ASA, Cisco Wireless, HP Procurve Switches,
Advanced SNMP license: This one gives you the license to
monitor an advanced device. Advanced devices are Cisco Nexus and F5 Big IP
Netflow monitoring
licensing.
For Netflow monitoring you need local IP licenses. This is
basically the number of local IP addresses that will be monitored by Xian NM
Flow Monitoring. So if your Netflow monitoring is limited to a certain segment
then you only need the number licenses that represents the number of local IP
addresses in that segment.
Topology Discovery
License
If you also want Xian NM to Discover the relations between
network devices and Windows Servers you can optionally obtain a topology
license.
What do you need to buy?
