•
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 Brocade 8000) for both SAN and IP, the device only counts
for SAN.
Managed MPLS 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. For more information on IP discovery, refer to the
Brocade Network Advisor User Manual.
The managed MPLS product count is calculated using the following rules:
•
Any device discovered with VLL, LSP, and VPLS configured is counted as an MPLS device.
•
Each IronWare Ethernet Core router or Ethernet Backbone router device with an MPLS license
is counted as one MPLS device.
•
Each set of three IronWare Ethernet Carrier router devices or set of three Ethernet Edge router
devices with an MPLS license is counted as one MPLS device. You must discover three devices
before the Management application counts one MPLS device.
NOTE
Each IronWare Ethernet Carrier router or Ethernet Edge router device counts as one device in
the Managed MPLS product count calculation.
