Hi John! So - 1 Primary + 4 Zones means you can have 4 different MD's (or MM/MD-cluster) up to a total of 12 MD's max. I think not, but - IS this number of Zones a limitation within the AP-Group or Controller-wide for PrimaryController? I guess it's controller-wide, but - any thoughts of increasing this? .. JohnE
Hi John, I can't find anything on the Aruba website stating that RFP licenses are required on the primary zone MM. Can you confirm that this is a requirement, and if so provide a link to documentation, please?
Yes, that is a requirement and can be found in the User Guide. Here is a copy: Starting from ArubaOS 8.2.0.0, data zone managed device will not consume any license and only the primary zone managed device will consume licenses, including the WebCC licenses. Prior to ArubaOS 8.2.0.0, APs connected to data zone managed device consumed PEFNG license. Also, once the AP comes up, the managed device checks if the RFP license was acquired by the AP on the primary zone managed device. If not, MultiZone will be disabled on that AP.
Thanks John!
nice video very helpful

Hi John-Egil, this is a controller-wide limitation and there are currently no plans to increase that number.
