Multitenancy - When configured with a PREM license, Brocade ADX 4000 and 10000 series
application switches support multitenancy for up to four tenants. You can upgrade a system to
support up to 16 tenants. Brocade ADX 10000 series switches can be further upgraded to
support up to 32 tenants.
Brocade ADX ASM4 Bundle - A special bundle that includes the following features:
Application Processor – configured with one Application Switch module with four of the
available eight Application Processors enabled. This module is designated as an ASM4. An
upgrade license is available to enable all eight Application Processors. When this license is
installed, the module is recognised as an ASM8.
12 x 1 GF Interface Module – A 12 x 1 GF Interface Module equipped with 8 Copper SFPs
is included in the Brocade ADX ASM4 Bundle.
Management Module – A single Management module is included in the Brocade ADX
ASM4 Bundle.
Power Supplies – Two AC Power Supplies are included in the Brocade ADX ASM4 Bundle.
Premium software – The Premium software license that enables Layer-3 and Global Load
Balancing features for the Brocade ADX router image is included in the Brocade ADX ASM4
Bundle.
NOTE
When an ADX-CH-LIC-ASM4-8 license, that upgrades the ASM4 to an ASM8, is installed,
the show command shows both the SI-ASM4-P12-B and ADX-CH-LIC-ASM4-8 licenses as
active. The equivalent license is referred to as the ASM8 in this document for simplicity.
The ADX-CH-LIC-ASM4-8 license is not available as a trial license.
Ordering a license
When a license is ordered separately i.e. not pre-installed on a device when first shipped from the
factory, a license activation paper-pack or an e-mail message with a transaction key and a link to
the Brocade software portal, is issued to the customer by Brocade as proof of purchase. The
transaction key and the Brocade device LID (obtained from the external label or as output from the
show version CLI command) are used to generate a license key from the Brocade software portal.
The license key is contained within a license file, which is downloaded to the customer’s PC, where
the file can then be transferred to a TFTP or SCP server, then uploaded to the Brocade device.
Once a license is installed on the Brocade device a reload is required for the new functions to be
enabled on the device.
