Redundancy group license aggregation rules
The following are rules governing license usage amongst members of a redundancy group:
• A redundancy group license is determined by adding individual switch licenses.
• Do not allow different port speed/duplex settings on members. Each members should have
the settings.
• In a redundancy group of three switches (S1, S2 and S3), if S1 has X licenses, S2 has Y
licenses and S3 has Z licenses, the license count is X+Y+Z (the aggregation of each switch).
