Hello,
I have difficulties in understanding how IPs are counted in terms of licensing. I'm currently using an evaluation version which is unlimited and thus doesn't display any IP accounting information so I cannot determine exactly.
I have the following configuration:
1x Customer Network
1x Management Network
1x Backend Network
I would have all my hosts in the Backend and Management Networks. They would not be more than 50 so I have been quoted a 50 IP license.
However, I will have people connecting using RDP, HTTP and HTTPS from the Customer's Network to servers running in the backend network. I will also have applications running on the customer's network that are going to connect to DBs running in the backend Network.
I will not use port forwarding; I'm going to configure a static route on the customer's machines so that they are going to use the astaro network interface on the customer's network as a gateway to reach the machines running in the backend network.
My question is: how is astaro going to differentiate the customer's network from my backend network for the purpose of IP accounting ? Is an RDP connection from the customer's network to the backend network going to count as an IP ?
Also, what happens if the IP limit is reached ? are subsequent connections going to be blocked ? are all connections going to be blocked ?
Thank you,
Ettore
