Optionally Licensed Software Fabric OS v7.0.2 includes all basic switch and fabric support software, as well as optionally licensed software that is enabled via license keys. Optionally licensed features supported in FOS v7.0.2 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 Fabric or E_Port or Full Fabric- This license enables a switch to connect to a multi-switch fabric via E_Ports, forming ISL connections. Note: This license is only required on select embedded switch models and Brocade 300, and does not apply to other fixed-port switches or chassis-based platforms. 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 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 and provides notification if established limits or thresholds are exceeded. Fabric Watch includes Port Fencing capabilities. High Performance Extension over FCIP/FC (formerly known as "FCIP Services") (For the FR4-18i blade) - This license key also includes the FC-FastWrite feature and IPsec capabilities. Note: The FC-FastWrite feature is not supported on FR4-18i in FOS v7.0 or later. Brocade Accelerator for FICON - This license enables unique FICON emulation support for IBM's Global Mirror (formerly XRC) application (including Hitachi Data Systems HXRC and EMC's XRC) as well as Tape Pipelining for all FICON tape and virtual tape systems to significantly improve XRC and tape backup/recovery performance over virtually unlimited distance for FR4-18i. 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. Adaptive Networking with QoS-Adaptive Networking provides a rich framework of capability allowing a user 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 included in this license, and are fully available on all 8Gb and 16Gb platforms. Server Application Optimization - When deployed with Brocade Server Adapters, this license optimizes overall application performance for physical servers and virtual machines by extending virtual channels to the server infrastructure. Application specific traffic flows can be configured, prioritized, and optimized throughout the entire data center infrastructure. This license is not supported on the Brocade 8000. Integrated Routing- This license allows any port in a DCX 8510-8, DCX 8510-4, Brocade 6510, DCX-4S, DCX, 5300, 5100, 7800, or Brocade Encryption Switch to be configured as an EX_Port or VEX_Port (on some platforms) supporting Fibre Channel Routing. This eliminates the need to add a dedicated router to a fabric for FCR purposes. Encryption Performance Upgrade - This license provides additional encryption processing power. For the Brocade Encryption Switch or a DCX/DCX-4S/DCX 8510-8/DCX 8510-4, the Encryption Performance License Fabric OS v7.0.2 Release Notes v1.0 Page 8 of 99
