Installing Extended Fabrics through Telnet

Distributed Fabrics User's Guide
The installation of Extended Fabrics involves the installation of a license on each switch
in the fabric. A license may have been installed in the switch at the factory. If not, contact
your switch supplier to obtain a license key.
Extended Fabrics licenses are installed using either telnet commands or Web Tools.
To install Extended Fabrics using telnet:
1. Log on to the switch by telnet (refer to the Fabric OS Procedures Guide for details),
using an account that has administrative privileges.
2. To determine whether a Extended Fabrics license is already installed on the switch,
type licenseShow on the telnet command line.
A list displays of all the licenses currently installed on the switch. For example:
admin> licenseShow
