NX-7500-ADP-256 Adaptive AP License Certificate

1. Product Overview

The NX-7500-ADP-256 is an Adaptive AP License Certificate designed for the Extreme Networks NX 7500 Integrated Services Platform. It enables the management and control of up to 256 access points or controllers within a unified WiNG 7 OS architecture. Ideal for midsize to large campus deployments, this license supports scalable, intelligent WLAN operations with centralized visibility and automated RF management.

2. Key Characteristics

• Supports up to 256 Access Points or Controllers
• Centralized hierarchical management via single-pane interface
• Seamless integration with WiNG 7 OS for intelligent routing
• Zero-touch provisioning and automated AP adoption
• Advanced security features including role-based firewall and WIPS
• High availability with 1:1 failover support

3. Core Technology

The license operates within the WiNG 7 OS framework, which utilizes a distributed intelligence architecture.
