Brocade Fabric OS Software Licensing Guide (Supporting Fabric OS v7.3.0) - Manual (Page 20)

Available Brocade licenses (Continued) TABLE 1
License Description
Enterprise ICL Allows you to connect four or more chassis to a Brocade DCX 8510 chassis using ICLs. For
each Brocade DCX 8510 chassis, you can connect up to three Brocade DCX 8510 Backbones
via ICLs without this license. This license is required only on the Brocade DCX 8510 chassis
that is connected to four or more Brocade DCX 8510 chassis.
Note that this license requirement does not depend upon the total number of DCX 8510
chassis that exist in a fabric, but only on the number of chassis connected directly to a
Brocade DCX 8510 via ICLs.
You must also have an ICL POD license on each Brocade DCX 8510 to activate the ICL ports.
The Enterprise ICL license only allows connection of more than four chassis using ICLs; it
does not enable the ICL ports on a chassis.
NOTE
Applies to the Brocade DCX 8510 Backbone family only.
Fabric Vision (FV) Allows you to activate the following features:
• Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS)
• Flow Vision
• Run D_Port tests between a switch and non-Brocade HBAs
This license replaces the Advanced Performance Monitor (APM) and Fabric Watch (FW)
licenses. If you have the Fabric Vision license, you can use Advanced Performance Monitoring
and Fabric Watch features without the APM and FW licenses.
FCoE Enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) functions.
FICON
Management
Server
(Also known as
Control Unit Port
or "CUP")
Enables host-control of switches in mainframe environments.
Full Fabric Enables a switch to connect to a multi-switch fabric via E_Ports, forming ISL connections.
NOTE
This license is only required on select embedded switch models and the Brocade 300, and
does not apply to other fixed-port switches or chassis-based platforms.
High Performance
Extension over
FCIP/FC (formerly
known as "FC-IP
Services") Includes the IPsec capabilities.
ICL 8-Link Activates all eight links on ICL ports on a Brocade DCX-4S or half of the ICL bandwidth for
each ICL port on the Brocade DCX platform by enabling only eight links out of the sixteen links
available. This allows you to purchase half the bandwidth of DCX ICL ports initially and
upgrade with an additional ICL 8-Link license to utilize the full ICL bandwidth at a later time.
This license is also useful for environments that want to create ICL connections between a
DCX and a DCX-4S; the latter cannot support more than eight links on an ICL port.
Available on the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S Backbones only.
