Managed IP port count calculation
NOTE
If you exceed the maximum port count for your version, software functionality is impacted and you
must reduce the port count using the Discover Setup - IP dialog box or contact your vendor to
purchase an additional license for your version.
The managed IP port count is calculated using the following rules:
•
Only ports discovered from the IP tab are counted.
•
The port must be a physical port.
•
The ports from unmanaged, unreachable, and degraded IP products are not counted.
•
For VCS nodes, only TRILL and Edge ports are counted.
Managed IP product count calculation
NOTE
If you exceed the maximum product count for your version, software functionality is impacted and
you must reduce the product count using the Discover Setup - IP dialog box or contact your vendor
to purchase an additional license for your version.
The managed IP product count is calculated using the following rules:
•
Only products discovered from the IP tab are counted.
•
All discovered routers and switches (regardless of vendor, device model, or firmware version)
are counted.
•
Unmanaged, unreachable, and degraded IP products are not counted.
•
A stack counts as one device. The physical switches in a stack are not counted individually.
•
If you discover a device (such as the Fabric OS 8000) for both SAN and IP, the device only
counts for SAN.
•
For VCS fabrics, if the VCS node meets the license rules, each VCS node in a VCS fabric counts
as one product. If you remove a VCS node from the VCS fabric, and it is in the Missing state,
that VCS node is treated as a standalone VDX and counts as one product.
