Defense Center-based licenses that are not relevant to managed devices.
In addition to the information in the table, note that:
• Series 2 devices automatically have Protection capabilities, with the
exception of Security Intelligence filtering.
• Although you can enable a Control license on a virtual device, a virtual
device does not support any of the hardware-based features granted by that
license, such as switching or routing.
• Although the DC500 can manage devices with Protection and Control
licenses, you cannot perform Security Intelligence filtering or user control.
For detailed information on licensing, see the Licensing the Sourcefire 3D System
chapter in the Sourcefire 3D System User Guide.
