Brocade Fabric OS Software Licensing Guide (Supporting Fabric OS v7.3.0) - Manual (Page 21)

Available Brocade licenses (Continued) TABLE 1
License Description
ICL 16-Link Activates all 16 links on ICL ports on a Brocade DCX chassis. Each chassis must have the ICL
16-Link license installed in order to enable the full 16-link ICL connections.
Available on the Brocade DCX only.
Integrated Routing Allows any ports in Brocade 5100, 5300, 6510, 6520, 6547, 7840, and VA-40FC switches, the
Brocade Encryption Switch, or the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, and DCX 8510 family platforms to
be configured as an EX_Port supporting FC-FC routing.
Inter-Chassis Link
(1st POD) Activates half of the ICL bandwidth on a DCX 8510-8, or all the ICL bandwidth on a DCX
8510-4, allowing you to enable only the bandwidth needed, and upgrade to additional
bandwidth at a later time. This license is also useful for environments that wish to create ICL
connections between a DCX 8510-8 and a DCX 8510-4; the latter platform supports only half
the number of ICL links that the former platform supports.
Available on the Brocade DCX 8510 Backbones only.
Inter-Chassis Link
(2nd POD) Activates the remaining ICL bandwidth on the Brocade DCX 8510-8 chassis. Each chassis
must have this ICL license installed in order to enable all available ICL connections.
Available on the Brocade DCX 8510-8 only.
Server Application
Optimization
(SAO) When deployed with Brocade server adapters, this license optimizes overall application
performance for physical servers with virtual machines by extending virtual channels to the
server infrastructure. Application-specific traffic flows can be configured, prioritized, and
optimized throughout the entire data center infrastructure. This license is not supported on the
Brocade 8000.
NOTE
The Brocade 6520 does not require an SAO license to enable the capabilities associated with
this license. These capabilities are included by default on the Brocade 6520.
NOTE
This license is automatically enabled for new switches that operate with only Fabric OS 7.2.0
or later and for existing switches that are upgraded to Fabric OS 7.2.0 or later.
WAN Rate
Upgrade 1 Provides additional WAN transmission throughput up to 10 Gbps on Brocade 7840. Without
WAN Rate Upgrade 1 license, Brocade 7840 provides WAN throughput of 5 Gbps.
Upgrade licenses do not impose restriction on the number of physical ports used as long as
the aggregate bandwidth of all configured FCIP tunnels does not exceed the licensed limit.
NOTE
Available on the Brocade 7840 only.
