16 Licensing overview TABLE 77 License Available Brocade licenses Description 10GbE License 7500E Upgrade 7800 Upgrade License Adaptive Networking with QoS Advanced Extension License Advanced FICON Acceleration Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring Brocade Extended Fabrics This license enables the two 10GbE ports on the FX8-24. With this license, two additional operating modes (in addition to 10 1GbE ports mode) can be selected: • 10 1GbE ports and 1 10GbE port, or • 2 10GbE ports This license is available on the Brocade 7800 switch, and the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S for the FX8-24 on an individual slot basis. This license allows you to upgrade a 4-port (2 FC ports and 2 GbE ports) 7500E base switch to a full 18-port (16 FC ports and 2 GbE ports) 7500 switch configuration and feature capability. The upgraded 7500E Extension Switch includes the complete High Performance Extension license feature set. This license 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. A Brocade 7800 switch with the Upgrade License also supports up to eight FCIP tunnels instead of two and supports advanced capabilities like tape read/write pipelining. The Brocade 7800 switch must have the Upgrade License to add FICON Management Server (CUP) or Advanced Accelerator for FICON. Adaptive Networking provides a rich framework of capability allowing you to ensure 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 the first components of this license option, and are fully available on all 8 Gbps platforms. This license enables two advanced extension features: FCIP Trunking and Adaptive Rate Limiting. The FCIP Trunking feature allows 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. In addition, each FCIP circuit supports four 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 utilization of the available network bandwidth without impacting throughput performance under high traffic load. This license is available on the Brocade 7800 switch, and the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S for the FX8-24 on an individual slot basis. This licensed feature uses specialized data management techniques and automated intelligence to accelerate FICON tape read and write and IBM Global Mirror data replication operations over distance, while maintaining the integrity of command and acknowledgement sequences. This license is available on the Brocade 7800 switch, and the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S for the FX8-24 on an individual slot basis. Enables performance monitoring of networked storage resources. This license includes the Top Talkers feature. Provides greater than 10km of switched fabric connectivity at full bandwidth over long distances (depending on the platform this can be up to 3000km). 366 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 53-1001763-01
