Base Licenses

The Base license allows you to:

  • Configure your devices to perform switching and routing (including DHCP relay and NAT)

  • Configure devices as a high availability pair

  • Configure clustering

  • Implement user and application control by adding user and application conditions to access control rules

  • Update the Vulnerability database (VDB) and geolocation database (GeoDB).

  • Download intrusion rules such as SRU/LSP. However, you cannot deploy access control policy or rules that have intrusion policy to the device unless Threat license is enabled.

Secure Firewall 3100

You obtain a Base license when you purchase the Secure Firewall 3100.

Other Models

Except in deployments using Specific License Reservation, a Base license is automatically added to your account when you register a device to the Firewall Management Center. For Specific License Reservation, you need to add the Base license to your account.
