Nexus 5500-UP licensing

[djslaugh]

I'm trying to build a config for a Nexus N5K-C5548UP-FA that will have a mix of FCoE and native fibre channel ports.  What licensing do I need to purchase for the chassis to support this functionality?  I'm not anticipating that any of the FC connections will be to other MDS appliances if that matters.

Specifically, when do I need these:

N55-8P-SSK9

N55-48PF-SSK9

N5548-FNPV-SSK9

thanks,

Current FC FCOE licensing model on N5K is honour based.which comes in increment of 8.

(N5K-8P-SSK9)  8 port  FC license .

However future model is going restrict on port based lcienses.

After installing N5K-8P-SSK9  license file which is called storage protocol service license.

you would see

"show license usage" output show as

ENTERPRISE_PKG                Yes   -   Unused Never       -

FC_FEATURES_PKG               Yes   -   Unused Never    

N55xx-FNPV-SSK9 is only for FCoE NPV mode, not for FC NPV mode. If you'd like to run FC NPV mode you need the Storage Services License, this license also includes the FCoE NPV license.
