Viprion provisioning warning: Unlicensed vCMP

Hi!

 

Is it normal to receive a Viprion chassis without the vCMP being supported? In the license screen the vCMP support appears only in the optional items area. Do we have a license error?

 

Thank-you,

    Renato, a viprion doesn't have to use vcmp, it can be a powerful ADC by itself with the ability to scale up by adding blades to increase CPU and memory, for example.

     

    If you want it to be a vcmp host then you would need the vcmp license.

     

    Hope this helps, N

     

  • But... The vCMP license is included in the best bundle, isn't it?

    i have no comment about datasheet but i agree with nathan i.e. i understand vcmp is not included in best bundle. you may double check with f5 sale.

     

  • I created a new support case to receive more information.

     

  • The Viprion platform requires specific licensing for vCMP support. It is not clear in datasheets, at least for me, BUT IT IS REQUIRED! The better/best bundle only unlocks the MAX SSL, MAX Compression and MAX DNS/GTM support, as well as an increase of APM sessions and concurrent users. I recommend everybody to check these parameters again each time you buy/sell a device.
