BIG-IQ - No. Of Devices

Hi All,

 

Hope you all are doing good!

 

I have BIG-IQ, and I would like to know what is the maximum no. of devices can be onboarded to BIG-IQ.

I think its based on license, but how should I get the exact no. of limitation.

 

Also, will it count only hardware or both Hardware and Software. I think it will count both but just need conformation.

 

Thanks in advance :-)

 

Regards,

RAQS

    Hi,

    you are correct with the limit been based around your license.

    I run a virtual BIG-IQ:

    BIG-IQ, VE, Centralized Manager, 30 Instances

    I have 10 appliances registered with the BIG-IQ so only use 10 licenses - the licenses relate to appliances - remember VCMP is a license & each guest is also a license.

    Logon to BIG-IQ console <https://BIG-IQ>, select System, select This Device, select Licensing - that will display the license details you've purchased
