Layer 3 Premium Features and Platform Support

A RUCKUS FastIron Layer 3 Premium license enables Layer 3 Premium features to be configured on an ICX switch.

In a stacking system, the Layer 3 Premium features can be enabled if all units in the stacking system have the premium license. If a Layer 3 Premium feature is enabled, any unit without a Layer 3 Premium license will go into a non-operational state when the unit is added to the stack. This unit will become operational if the Layer 3 Premium feature is disabled or if the Layer 3 Premium license is enabled on that unit.

The Layer 3 Premium feature set varies according to the ICX platform on which the license is used. The following sections list the Layer 3 features that are supported by the Layer 3 Premium license for each platform.

Note: Layer 3 Premium licenses are supported only on Layer 3 devices. Layer 3 Premium licenses are not supported on Layer 2 devices.
