Brocade License Key
ICL 8-Link, or Inter Chassis Links – 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 (This license replaces the original ICL license for the DCX-4S and is new for the DCX). DataFort Compatibility — This license is required on the Brocade Encryption Switch/DCX/DCX-4S with FS8-18 blade(s) to read & decrypt NetApp DataFort-encrypted disk and tape LUNs. DataFort Compatibility License is also required on the Brocade Encryption Switch or DCX/DCX-4S Backbone with FS8-18 Encryption Blade(s) installed to write & encrypt the disk and tape LUNs in NetApp DataFort Mode (Metadata & Encryption Algorithm) so that DataFort can read & decrypt these LUNs.
