SAN Switch Licencing

Hi,

Does anyone know if you have to purchsase individual Extended Fabric licences to ISL these switches up in LE mode?

HP 8/40 Base (24) Full Fabric Ports Enabled SAN Switch (AM869A)

These licences were required for our old 4\32 B Series switches but that was a long time ago now and Im wondering if the ISL facility is now included as standard?

Thanks

Hey, in Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 6.4 it says that LE does not require an extended fabrics license.
