Figure 11-3 Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem Default Port Licenses (ext1 - ext4)
On the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, any eight internal ports and the external ports
(ext1 through ext4) are licensed by default. A single on-demand port activation license is required to use
the remaining eight internal and four external ports.
On the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter, any seven internal ports and the external ports( ext0,
ext15 and ext16) are licensed by default. A single on-demand port activation license is required to use
the remaining seven internal and three external ports.
Figure 11-4 shows the external ports that are licensed by default for the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM
BladeCenter.

If you do not prefer to accept the default behavior and would rather assign a license to a specific port,
make the port ineligible to receive a license, or move licenses among ports, refer to the “Configuring
Port Activation Licenses” section on page 11-4.
License Status Definitions
Table 11-2 defines the port activation license status terms.
