Activating a license on a switch
Before you can unlock a licensed feature, you must obtain a license key. You can either use the
license key provided in the paperpack document supplied with switch software or see the Fabric
OS Administrator’s Guide for instructions on how to obtain a license key at the Brocade Web site
(www.brocade.com).
NOTE
Some licenses (for example, Trunking) do not take effect until the switch is rebooted.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 29.
2. Click the License tab and click Add.
The Add License dialog box displays.
3. Paste or type a license key in the field.
4. Click Add License.
5. Click Refresh to display the new licenses in the License tab.
Removing a license from a switch
You can remove a license from a switch in the Switch Administration window.
ATTENTION
Use care when removing licenses. If you remove a license for a feature, that feature will no longer
work. Removing the Web Tools license from a switch makes that switch unavailable from Web Tools.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 29.
2. Click the License tab.
3. Click the license you want to remove.
4. Click Remove.
Administering High Availability
High-Availability (HA) features provide maximum reliability and nondisruptive replacement of key
hardware and software modules. High Availability is available only on the Brocade 48000 and
Brocade DCX Director. See the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for additional information about
High Availability.
The High Availability module (see Figure 23 on page 42) displays information about the status of
the HA feature on the Brocade 48000 and Brocade DCX Director and each CP, and enables you to
perform CP failover.
The background color of the HA button indicates the overall status of high availability on the switch.
The colors and their meanings are as follows:
• Green—Healthy: HA Status is “Non-Disruptive Failover Ready”
• Yellow—Disruptive mode HA Status is “Disruptive Failover Ready”
• Red—HA is unavailable: HA Status is “Non-Redundant”
