Temporary license support, Previously licensed software now included with base FOS

Page 9 highlights

IMPORTANT: Most 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch units shipped with FOS 6.1.2_cee1 did not include this license and must have it installed before upgrading to FOS 6.3.0. Failure to do so will result in the disabling of FC ports after the upgrade. Contact HP Support to obtain this license key if your 2408 switch does not already have it installed. • FCoE-This license enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet functionality on the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch. Without the FCoE license, the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch is a pure Layer 2 Ethernet switch and will not support FCoE bridging or FCoE Forwarding (FCF) capabilities. Temporary license support HP does not currently support temporary licenses or Universal Temporary Licenses. Previously licensed software now included with base FOS The capabilities described in this section are included as part of the base FOS. No additional purchase or licensing is necessary. NOTE: Starting with FOS 6.1, Advanced Zoning and WebTools licenses are not necessary. These features are enabled automatically on all products running FOS 6.1 or later. Standards compliance This software conforms to the FC standards and accepted engineering practices and procedures. In certain cases, HP might add proprietary supplemental functions to those specified in the standards. For a list of standards conformance, see the HP website: http://www.hp.com. The 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch and DC SAN Director Switch 10/24 FCoE Blade conform to the following Ethernet standards: • IEEE 802.1D, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) • IEEE 802.1s, Multiple Spanning Tree • IEEE 802.1w, Rapid Reconfiguration of Spanning Tree Protocol • IEEE 802.3ad, Link Aggregation with LACP • IEEE 802.3ae, 10G Ethernet • IEEE 802.1Q, VLAN Tagging • IEEE 802.1p, Class of Service Prioritization and Tagging • IEEE 802.1v, VLAN Classification by Protocol and Port • IEEE 802.AB, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) • IEEE 802.3x, Flow Control (Pause Frames) The following draft versions of the CEE and FCoE standards are also supported on the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch and DC SAN Director Switch 10/24 FCoE Blade: • IEEE 802.1Qbb, Priority-based Flow Control • IEEE 802.1Qaz, Enhanced Transmission Selection HP StorageWorks FOS 6.3.0b Release Notes 9

IMPORTANT:
Most 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch units shipped with FOS 6.1.2_cee1 did not include
this license and must have it installed before upgrading to FOS 6.3.0. Failure to do so will result
in the disabling of FC ports after the upgrade. Contact HP Support to obtain this license key if
your 2408 switch does not already have it installed.
FCoE
This license enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet functionality on the 2408 FCoE Converged
Network Switch. Without the FCoE license, the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch is a pure
Layer 2 Ethernet switch and will not support FCoE bridging or FCoE Forwarding (FCF) capabilities.
Temporary license support
HP does not currently support temporary licenses or Universal Temporary Licenses.
Previously licensed software now included with base FOS
The capabilities described in this section are included as part of the base FOS. No additional purchase
or licensing is necessary.
NOTE:
Starting with FOS 6.1, Advanced Zoning and WebTools licenses are not necessary. These features
are enabled automatically on all products running FOS 6.1 or later.
Standards compliance
This software conforms to the FC standards and accepted engineering practices and procedures. In
certain cases, HP might add proprietary supplemental functions to those specified in the standards.
