## Summary description

Software license for the EXTREME VDX6940 that enables FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) functionality on the specified platform. The license allows consolidation of SAN and LAN traffic over Ethernet, enabling converged storage and network transport on VDX6940 switches. Intended for data center deployments that require FCoE support, it simplifies infrastructure and centralizes management when applied to the VDX6940.

## Long description

The EXTREME VDX6940 FCoE software license enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet functionality on the EXTREME VDX6940 platform. This software license allows consolidation of SAN and LAN traffic onto a single Ethernet fabric, enabling converged storage and network transport on the VDX6940 switch. Designed for data center environments, the license makes it possible to extend native Fibre Channel capabilities across Ethernet links while maintaining interoperability with existing storage arrays and fabric-aware hosts when used with compatible infrastructure.
Advantages
Enabling FCoE on the VDX6940 reduces the need for separate Fibre Channel switching hardware by allowing storage and network traffic to share the same Ethernet infrastructure. The software license simplifies cabling and management by centralizing control on the VDX6940 platform and supports typical data center operational models for converged I/O. Because it is a software-based enablement, deployment can be completed without additional physical modules, provided the switch meets required firmware and hardware baseline.
Suitable for
 Data center consolidation of SAN and LAN traffic
 Environments requiring converged storage and network transport
 Deployments that need FCoE support on EXTREME VDX6940 switches
 Operations aiming to reduce separate Fibre Channel hardware
Key specifications
 Function: Enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capability on the specified VDX6940 platform
 Compatibility: Software license designed for use with EXTREME VDX6940 switches running supported firmware
 Deployment scope: Enables converged SAN and LAN over Ethernet fabric on licensed devices
 Management: Centralized configuration and monitoring through the VDX6940 management interfaces
How to use
Apply the software license to a target EXTREME VDX6940 switch following the vendor's licensing procedure and activation workflow. Ensure the switch is running the required firmware level and that network and storage endpoints are configured for FCoE use. After activation, configure the VDX6940 FCoE-related parameters, including VSANs, VLAN mappings, and any necessary interface assignments to carry converged traffic. Validate storage connectivity and fabric discovery between hosts and arrays to confirm proper operation.
Usage recommendations
Before purchasing and applying the FCoE license, verify firmware compatibility and interoperability with existing storage arrays, HBA drivers, and management tools. Plan for capacity and performance testing in a controlled environment to confirm that converged traffic meets throughput and latency requirements for storage workloads. Maintain current backups of configuration and follow vendor guidance for firmware and license updates.
