10GbE FCIP/10G Fibre Channel - This license enables the two 10GbE ports on the FX8-24 and/or the 10G FC capability on FC16-xx blade ports supported on DCX 8510 platforms except for the FC16-64 blade. On the Brocade 6510, Brocade 6520 this license enables 10G FC ports. This license is not applicable to Brocade 7840 or Brocade 6505. On FX8-24: With this license installed and assigned to a slot with an FX8-24 blade, 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 On FC16-xx:  Enables 10G FC capability on an FC16-xx blade in a slot that has this license On Brocade 6510, Brocade 6520:  Enables 10G FC capability on Brocade 6510 and Brocade 6520. This license is available on the DCX/DCX-4S/DCX 8510-8/DCX 8510-4 on an individual slot basis. Advanced FICON Acceleration - 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 7800, 7840, and the DCX/DCX-4S/DCX 8510-8/DCX 8510-4 for the FX8-24 on an individual slot basis. 7800 Port Upgrade - This license allows a Brocade 7800 to enable 16 FC ports (instead of the base four ports) and six GbE ports (instead of the base two ports). This license is also required to enable additional FCIP tunnels and also for advanced capabilities like tape read/write pipelining. ICL 16-link, or Inter Chassis Links -- This license provides dedicated high-bandwidth links between two Brocade DCX chassis, without consuming valuable front-end 8Gb ports. Each chassis must have the 16-link ICL license installed in order to enable the full 16-link ICL connections. (Available on the DCX only.) ICL 8-Link - This license activates all eight links on ICL ports on a DCX-4S chassis or half of the ICL bandwidth for each ICL port on the DCX platform by enabling only eight links out of the sixteen links available. This allows users to purchase half the bandwidth of DCX ICL ports initially and upgrade with an additional 8-link license to utilize the full ICL bandwidth at a later time. This license is also useful for environments that wish to create ICL connections between a DCX and a DCX-4S, the latter of which cannot support more than 8 links on an ICL port. Available on the DCX-4S and DCX platforms only. ICL POD License - This license activates ICL ports on core blades of DCX 8510 platforms. An ICL 1st POD license only enables half of the ICL ports on CR16-8 core blades of DCX 8510-8 or all of the ICL ports on CR16-4 core blades on DCX 8510-4. An ICL 2nd POD license enables all ICL ports on CR16-8 core blades on a DCX 8510-8 platform. (The ICL 2nd POD license does not apply to the DCX 8510-4.) Enterprise ICL (EICL) License - The EICL license is required on a Brocade DCX 8510 chassis when that chassis is connected to four or more Brocade DCX 8510 chassis via ICLs. Note that this license requirement does not depend upon the total number of DCX 8510 chassis that exist in a fabric, but only on the number of other chassis connected to a DCX 8510 via ICLs. This license is recognized/displayed when operating with FOS v7.0.1 but enforced with FOS v7.1.0 or later. Note: The EICL license supports a maximum of nine DCX 8510 chassis connected in a full mesh topology or up to twelve DCX 8510 chassis connected in a core-edge topology. Refer to the Brocade SAN Scalability Guidelines document for additional information. WAN Rate Upgrade 1 License - The WAN Rate Upgrade 1 license provides the additional WAN throughput up to 10 Gbps on Brocade 7840. The base configuration of Brocade 7840 without the WAN Rate Upgrade 1 license provides WAN throughput up to 5 Gbps. Fabric OS v7.3.0a Release Notes v2.0 Page 17 of 55
