licenses required FC operation. The Brocade 6510 provides 48 ports in a
single (1U) height switch that enables the creation of very dense fabrics in
a relatively small space.
The Brocade 6510 offers Ports on Demand (POD) licensing as well. “Base”
models of the switch contain 24 ports, and up to two additional 12-port
POD licenses can be purchased.
