A SmartZone Standby Cluster uses dedicated High Availability AP licensing rather than the regular AP capacity licenses installed on the active cluster. RUCKUS SmartZone cluster-redundancy documentation explicitly distinguishes the licensing requirements of active and standby systems. The standby cluster can synchronize configuration and licensing information from the active cluster, but normal permanent or temporary AP licenses are not accepted as the standby cluster ' s operational AP entitlement. Instead, High Availability AP licenses must be purchased and installed for the standby environment. The reference to virtual Data Planes does not change this controller redundancy licensing requirement; vDP capacity and feature licensing address Data Plane capabilities rather than the AP entitlement required by the standby controllers. Therefore, the correct license type for the Standby Cluster is AP High Availability. rcw 3 Ruckus Wireless Documentation
