Description
Monitors mission-critical switch operations. Fabric Watch includes
Port Fencing capabilities.
Provides the ability to aggregate multiple physical links into one
logical link for enhanced network performance and fault tolerance.
Also includes Access Gateway ISL Trunking on those products that
support Access Gateway deployment.
Allows you to instantly scale the fabric by provisioning additional ports
using license key upgrades. Applies to the Brocade 300, 4100, 4900,
5000, 5100, 5300, and VA-40FC switches.
Provides the Brocade Encryption Switch, the Brocade DCX and
DCX-4S with FS8-18 blade to read and decrypt the NetApp
DataFort-encrypted Disk LUNs and Tapes. DataFort Compatible
License is also required on the Brocade Encryption Switch, the
Brocade DCX and DCX-4S with FS8-18 blade to write and encrypt the
Disk LUNs and Tapes in NetApp DataFort Compatible Format
(metadata, encryption, algorithm, and compression algorithm) so that
DataFort can read and decrypt these tapes and disk LUNs. Availability
of this license is limited; contact your vendor for details.
Provides additional encryption bandwidth on encryption platforms.
For the Brocade Encryption Switch, two Encryption Performance
Upgrade licenses can be installed to enable the full available
bandwidth. On a Brocade DCX and DCX-4S, a single Performance
License can be installed to enable full bandwidth on all FS8-18 blades
installed in the chassis.
Enables full management of the 8 Gbps platforms in a datacenter
fabric with deeper element management functionality and greater
management task aggregation throughout the environment.
Enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) functionality on the
Brocade 8000 switch. This license is included by default for the
Brocade 8000 switch.
Enables host-control of switches in mainframe environments.
Includes the FC-Fastwrite feature and IPsec capabilities. Applies to
FR4-18i blade and Brocade 7500.
Provides dedicated high-bandwidth links between two Brocade DCX
chassis, without consuming valuable front-end 8 Gbps ports. Each
chassis must have the ICL license installed in order to enable the full
16-link ICL connections. (Available on the DCX only.)
Activates all eight links on ICL ports on a Brocade DCX-4S chassis 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 8-link license to utilize the full
ICL bandwidth at a later time. This license is also useful for
environments that wish to create ICL connections between a DCX and
a DCX-4S, the latter of which cannot support more than 8 links on an
ICL port. Available on the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S platforms only
(This license replaces the original ICL license for the DCX-4S).
