Feature Licensing

NOTE: License keys enable menu selections in Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 and commands and keywords in the CLI. License keys do not affect the capabilities of the QuickTools web applet.

License keys provide a way to expand the capabilities of your switch and fabric as your needs grow. Consider your need for the following features and arrange to purchase license keys from your switch distributor or authorized reseller.

„Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 provides access to the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application which is included on the product CD with a 30-day trial license. Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 is a graphical user interface designed to provide comprehensive fabric management for fabrics of four or more switches. This license enables you to install and use Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 on an unlimited number of workstations.

„Fabric Security provides access to the following security tools:

‰Security for Ethernet connections using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol and Telnet connections using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol

‰Device and switch authorization and authentication using the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).

‰Remote authentication of users and devices using the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)

„SANdoctor provides access to the following tools:

‰Fibre Channel connection verification (Fcping CLI command)

‰Fibre Channel route tracing (Fctrace CLI command)

‰Transceiver diagnostic information (Show Media CLI command).

„Port Activation activates additional Fibre Channel ports to 12, 16, or 20 ports.

Upgrading a switch is not disruptive, nor does it require a switch reset. To order a license key, contact your switch distributor or your authorized reseller. Refer to “Installing Feature License Keys” on page 4-21for information about installing a license key.
