Page 18 of 41

Note that this license requirement does not depend upon the total number of DCX 8510 chassis that exist in a
fabric, but only on how many chassis are interconnected via ICLs. This license is only recognized/displayed
when operating with FOS v7.0.1 but enforced with FOS v7.1.0 or later.

Note: The EICL license supports a maximum of nine DCX 8510 chassis connected in a full mesh topology or up
to ten DCX 8510 chassis connected in a core-edge topology.

Temporary License Support

The following licenses are available in FOS v7.1 as Universal Temporary or regular temporary licenses:

Fabric (E_Port) license

Extended Fabric license

Trunking license

High Performance Extension license

Advanced Performance Monitoring license

Adaptive Networking license

Fabric Watch license

Integrated Routing license

Server Application Optimization license

Advanced Extension license

Advanced FICON Acceleration license

10GbE FCIP/10G Fibre Channel license

FICON Management Server (CUP) license

Enterprise ICL license

Note: Temporary Licenses for features available on a per slot basis enable the feature for any and all slots in

the chassis.

Temporary and Universal Temporary licenses have durations and expiration dates established in the licenses
themselves. FOS will accept up to two temporary licenses and a single Universal license on a unit. Universal
Temporary license keys can only be installed once on a particular switch, but can be applied to as many
switches as desired. Temporary use duration (the length of time the feature will be enabled on a switch) is
provided with the license key. All Universal Temporary license keys have an expiration date upon which the
license can no longer be installed on any unit.

Other Licensing Changes

The capabilities associated with the Adaptive Networking and SAO licenses are included by default on
the Brocade 6520. Hence these licenses are not applicable to the Brocade 6520 platform.
