Enabling On-Demand GE, 2.5GE, 5GE, and 10GE Configurations
S5732- H24UM2CC and S5732- H48UM2CC adopt the RTU license mode, enabling port capabilities to be configured and scaled out on demand. The switches are available in two full-GE basic models and can evolve to 43 brand-new port models through six types of RTU licenses (One RTU license per 12 ports).
Example: The 24-port GE model can evolve into nine brand-new port models through RTU licenses.
Some questions and answers about RUT license?
Q: Can you start with 12-port and then add RTU up to 48-port? Only enable 12-port for use at the beginning, the rest disabled?
A: No. The base models will come with all 24/48-ports enabled and supporting up to 1G. Then you can choose to upgrade the performance for every 12-ports to 2.5G, 5G or 10G.
Q: Is the license a one-time fee or is it subscription-based with yearly fee?
A: RTU is a one-time fee.
Q: Will the RTU model be software-specific function?
A: No. RTU is about the option to unlock performance as your needs grow by adding a license.
You can start with a smaller investment as your needs are smaller, and then adding performance with a license as your needs change.
Q: Is there any advantage in maintenance costs?
A: Maintenance costs are related only to the hardware frame, not to the RTU license.
Q: Is this feature available on previous devices?
A: No. Today only available on our new S5732-H Multi GE Switches and our new Access Points.
