The Enterprise version comes with a Full SAN Scaling (up to 239 switches) license. This license allows for up to 239 domain attachments within a fabric. The Entry version is limited to a two-domain fabric. The Entry version is upgradeable through the purchase of an optional license key that provides Full SAN Scaling capabilities.

Before you can upgrade and install a new license key, you must determine the license identifier (ID) of the switch module. Use the Telnet program to log in to the switch module as described in Chapter 4, “Configuring the switch module through the Telnet interface,” on page 25, and run the licenseidshow command to determine this value. Record the license ID value future reference. For information about this command, see the Brocade Fabric OS Reference Manual on the Resource CD.

To purchase and obtain a license key for an optional feature, go to contact your your Intel support representative. A license key will be provided through the Web site that is described in the documentation that you receive after you purchase the feature.

To install an optional feature on the switch, you must add the corresponding license to the list of current features for the switch. Use the Telnet program to log in to the switch module as described in Chapter 4, “Configuring the switch module through the Telnet interface,” on page 25, and run the licenseadd "key" command, where key is the license key for the new feature. For information about this command, see the Brocade Fabric OS Reference Manual on the Resource CD.

To make sure that the license has been successfully added to the switch key, run the licenseshow command. For information about this command, see the Brocade Fabric OS Reference Manual on the Resource CD.
