Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) licensing

ICL ports can be used only with an ICL license. After the addition or removal of a license, the license
enforcement is performed on the ICL ports only when the portdisable and portenable commands
are issued on the ports. An ICL license must be installed on both DC Directors forming the ICL connection.

8Gb licensing

IMPORTANT:
The 8 Gbps licensing applies to the 8Gb SAN Switches. The following list describes the basic rules of
using, adding, or removing 8Gb licenses.
• Without an 8Gb license, even if there is an 8Gb SFP plugged into a port in an applicable platform, the
port would be enabled only to run at a maximum speed of 4Gb.
• In order to obtain an 8Gb license only the License ID from the switch will be required. When you add
the 8Gb license, a portdisable and portenable on individual ports or a switchdisable and
switchenable, for all ports, will have to be done to enable the 8 Gbps functionality on the ports.
