FCoE Licensing

FCoE Licensing
The FCoE license enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) functionality on the Brocade 8000.
Without the FCoE license, the Brocade 8000 is a pure L2 Ethernet switch and will not allow FCoE
bridging capabilities.
With the FCoE license, the FCoE Configuration dialog displays virtual FCoE port information and
enables you to manage the virtual port information. The topology displays directly-connected
converged network adapters (CNAs) and the Properties dialog for the virtual FCoE port details.
Without the FCoE license, the virtual FCoE port displays in the device tree, but you cannot enable,
disable, or view virtual FCoE port information.

This dialog box launches if there is at least one CEE switch discovered. If no CEE switches exist, a
warning dialog displays.
