BigIp_VE_10.1.0 — APM module and Hypervisor Support

Hi Aaron,

 

 

Just back from vocation... Thank you so much for such detailed reply.

 

 

Two more questions:

 

 

1. I just got a non-production license for LTM VE and have applied it to the BigIP 10.2.1 VE (LTM and APM) on my ESX Hypervisor. I have successfully activated the LTM with this non-production license. After the activation, when I re-entered in to the system, I saw in the "Setup Utility ->License" tab that in the "Active Modules" line:

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

• Add Access Policy Manager, Virtual Edition
  • ADD ANTI-VIRUS CHECKS

     

  • ADD BASE ENDPOINT SECURITY CHECKS

     

  • ADD FIREWALL CHECKS

     

  • ADD NETWORK ACCESS

     

  • ADD SECURE VIRTUAL KEYBOARD

     

  • ADD WEB APP

     

  • ADD MACHINE CERTIFICATE CHECKS

     

  • ADD PROTECTED WORKSPACE

......

 

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

Does that mean that with this non-production license, the APM module in the BigIP 10.2.1 VE (LTM and APM) is also activated? Or to use the APM module in the BigIP 10.2.1 VE (LTM and APM), do I need another non-production license for APM?

 

 

2. What is the difference between "Optional Modules" and "Inactive Modules"? Dose that mean if I want to use the function provided by one specific module residing in the "Optional Modules" list, I need to have the corresponding license to activate it firstly?

 

 

Thanks again.
