Licensing
You must have a Core or an Advanced Core license to configure and use all of the EAPS features
described in this chapter.
A subset of EAPS, called EAPS Edgemode, is available with an Edge or an Advanced Edge license. The
following features are available with EAPS Edgemode:
●
Switches can belong to only one EAPS ring.
●
You can have up to four EAPS domains using two matching ring ports.
EAPS shared ports is not supported with an Edge or an Advanced Edge license.
The BlackDiamond 10808 switch with an MSM-1 module or an MSM1-XL module ships with a Core or
an Advanced Core license, respectively.
The BlackDiamond 12804 switch with an MSM-5 module or an MSM-5R module ships with a Core
license.
The BlackDiamond 8800 series switch (formerly known as Aspen), Summit X450 series switch, and
Summit X450a series switch ship with an Advanced Edge license. To use the complete EAPS
functionality, including running two or more EAPS rings, having a switch belong to multiple EAPS
rings, or configuring shared-ports that allow multiple EAPS domains to share a common link, you must
upgrade to a Core software license.
The Summit X450e series switch ships with an Edge license. You can upgrade to an Advanced Edge
license; however, both the Edge and the Advanced Edge licenses only support EAPS Edgemode. You
cannot upgrade to a Core software license.
NOTE
The Summit X450e series switch only supports EAPS Edgemode.
