Optionally Licensed Software Fabric OS v7.3 includes all basic switch and fabric support software, as well as optionally licensed software that is enabled via license keys. Optionally licensed features include: Brocade Ports on Demand-Allows customers to instantly scale the fabric by provisioning additional ports via license key upgrade. (Applies to select models of switches). Brocade Extended Fabrics-Provides greater than 10km of switched fabric connectivity at full bandwidth over long distances (depending on platform this can be up to 3000km). Note: If a port on 16G FC blades or a 16G switch is configured to operate at 10G speed, Extended fabrics license is not needed to enable long distance connectivity on that port. Brocade ISL Trunking- Provides the ability to aggregate multiple physical links into one logical link for enhanced network performance and fault tolerance. Also includes Access Gateway ISL Trunking on those products that support Access Gateway deployment. Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring-Enables performance monitoring of networked storage resources. This license includes the Top Talkers feature. Brocade Fabric Watch - Monitors mission-critical switch operations. Fabric Watch includes Port Fencing capabilities. Brocade Fabric Vision - Enables MAPS (Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite), Flow Vision, and ClearLink (D_Port) to non-Brocade devices. MAPS enables rules based monitoring and alerting capabilities, provides comprehensive dashboards to quickly troubleshoot problems in Brocade SAN environments. Flow Vision enables host to LUN flow monitoring, application flow mirroring for non-disruptive capture and deeper analysis, and test traffic flow generation function for SAN infrastructure validation. D_Port to non-Brocade devices allows extensive diagnostic testing of links to devices other than Brocade switches and adapters. (Functionality requires support by attached device, availability TBD). Fabric Vision license also enables Fabric Watch and Advanced Performance Monitoring functionalities without requiring Brocade Fabric Watch or Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring license (with FOS v7.2 and later only). Note: If installed on a switch operating with FOS v7.1.x, the Fabric Vision license will be displayed as "Fabric Insight". If installed on a switch operating with FOS v7.0.x or earlier, the Fabric Vision license will be displayed as "Unknown". Fabric Vision features are not supported under FOS v7.1.x or earlier. FICON Management Server- Also known as "CUP" (Control Unit Port), enables host-control of switches in Mainframe environments. Enhanced Group Management - This license enables full management of devices in a data center fabric with deeper element management functionality and greater management task aggregation throughout the environment. This license is used in conjunction with Brocade Network Advisor application software and is applicable to all FC platforms supported by FOS v7.0 or later. Note: This capability is enabled by default on all Gen 5 65XX model switches and DCX 8510 platforms, and on DCX and DCX-4S platforms that are running Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later. Gen 5 embedded switches receive this capability by default with FOS v7.2.1 and later. Individual upgrade is required when upgrading directly to FOS v7.2.1 on Gen 5 embedded switches. Subsequent group operations on Gen 5 embedded switches including group upgrade are supported.. Fabric OS v7.3.0a Release Notes v2.0 Page 15 of 55
