Licensing overview

Table 78 lists the licenses that must be installed on the local switch and any connecting switches
to use the feature.
Integrated Routing Allows any ports in a Brocade 5100, 5300, and VA-40FC switches, the
Brocade Encryption Switch, or the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S platforms
to be configured as an EX_Port supporting Fibre Channel Routing.
This eliminates the need to add an FR4-18i blade or use the 7500 for
FCR purposes, and also provides double the bandwidth for each FCR
connection when connected to another 8 Gbps-capable port.
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. For more information
on this license, refer to the Brocade Adapters Administrator’s Guide.
