4. (Z9500 series switch model only) In the License Type field, select the number of ports licensed: 36

(default); 84; or 132.

NOTE:

• AFM does not validate whether the specified number of licensed ports is correct for the

switch. An incorrect setting causes the fabric deployment to fail.

• This setting applies for both members in VLT mode.

• You can edit this value without restriction before beginning pre-deployment steps for the

switch. After pre-deployment begins, you can only edit the number of ports licensed

upwards (for example, 36–84).

5. The default switch names are FabricName—Core-1 and FabricName—Core-2. To customize the

switch names, enter a name in each of the

Switch Names fields.
