How are CN-Series firewalls licensed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

CN-Series firewalls are licensed by data-plane vCPU. Data-plane vCPU is the number of virtual CPUs assigned to the data plane of the CN-Series firewall instance. The data plane is the part of the CN-Series firewall that processes network traffic and applies security policies. CN-Series firewalls are licensed by data-plane vCPU, which determines the performance and capacity of the CN-Series firewall instance, such as throughput, sessions, policies, rules, and features. CN-Series firewalls are not licensed by service-plane vCPU, management-plane vCPU, or control-plane vCPU, as those are not factors that affect the licensing cost or consumption of CN-Series firewalls.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I was thinking it might be C) Management-plane vCPU, since that's the part that handles the administrative functions. But I don't know for certain.

You know, I bet the right answer is B) Service-plane vCPU. That's the part that handles all the security and networking services, so it makes sense that the licensing would be tied to that.

Well, from what I've read, the licensing is based on the different 'planes' of the firewall. My guess would be that it's either the data-plane, service-plane, or control-plane vCPU. I'm leaning towards data-plane, but I could be wrong.

I'll have to look into it more to be sure about the licensing based on the 'planes'.

I agree, it's essential to have a good understanding of the different 'planes' for licensing purposes.
