18 Licensing overview Table 69 lists the optionally licensed features that are available in Fabric OS 7.1. TABLE 69 License Available Brocade licenses Description 10 Gigabit FCIP/Fibre Channel (10G license) 7800 Upgrade • Allows 10 Gbps operation of FC ports on the Brocade 6510or 6520 switches or the FC ports of FC16-32 or FC16-48 port blades installed on a Brocade DCX 8510 Backbone. • Enables the two 10-GbE ports on the FX8-24 extension blade when installed on the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-4, or DCX 8510-8 Backbone. • Allows selection of the following operational modes on the FX8-24 blade: - 10 1-GbE ports and 1 10-GbE port, or - 2 10-GbE ports • License is slot-based when applied to a Brocade Backbone. It is chassis-based when applied to a Brocade 6510 or 6520 switch. • Enables full hardware capabilities on the Brocade 7800 base switch, increasing the number of Fibre Channel ports from four to sixteen and the number of GbE ports from two to six. • Supports up to eight FCIP tunnels instead of two. • Supports advanced capabilities such as tape read/write pipelining. NOTE: The Brocade 7800 switch must have the 7800 Upgrade license to add FICON Management Server (CUP) or Advanced FICON Acceleration licenses. See "Brocade 7800 Upgrade license" on page 470 for details. Adaptive Networking with QoS Advanced Extension Provides a rich framework of capability, allowing a user to ensure that high-priority connections obtain the bandwidth necessary for optimum performance, even in congested environments. The QoS SID/DID Prioritization and Ingress Rate Limiting features are included in this license, and are fully available on all 8-Gb and 16-Gb platforms. NOTE: The Brocade 6520 does not require an Adaptive Networking with QoS license to enable the capabilities associated with this license. These capabilities are included by default on the Brocade 6520. • Enables two advanced extension features: FCIP Trunking and Adaptive Rate Limiting. • FCIP Trunking feature allows all of the following: - Multiple (up to 4) IP source and destination address pairs (defined as FCIP Circuits) using multiple (up to 4) 1-GbE or 10-GbE interfaces to provide a high bandwidth FCIP tunnel and failover resiliency. - Support for up to 4 of the following QoS classes: Class-F, high, medium and low priority, each as a TCP connection. • The Adaptive Rate Limiting feature provides a minimum bandwidth guarantee for each tunnel with full usage of available network bandwidth without any negative impact to throughput performance under high traffic load. • Available on the Brocade 7800 switch, and the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S and the Brocade DCX 8510 family for the FX8-24 on an individual slot basis. 464 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 53-1002745-02
