Unified Port Expansion Module Licensing

D.

Unified port expansion modules for Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects provide additional ports for network connectivity to Cisco UCS servers. These modules can be licensed in different ways depending on the requirements of the organization.

A. All ports are fully licensed by default: This option suggests that all the ports on the unified port expansion modules are licensed by default, which means there is no need to purchase additional licenses to use these ports. This could be an advantageous licensing model for organizations that need to add more ports to their fabric interconnects without incurring additional costs.

B. The first eight ports on the module are licensed by default: This option suggests that only the first eight ports on the module are licensed by default, and additional licenses must be purchased to use the remaining ports. This licensing model could be useful for organizations that need to expand their port capacity but may not require all the ports on the module.

C. The expansion modules contribute eight licenses to the global pool by default: This option suggests that the expansion modules contribute eight licenses to a global pool of licenses that can be used across the organization. This licensing model could be useful for organizations that need to distribute licenses across multiple fabric interconnects or data centers.

D. The expansion modules contribute six licenses to the global pool by default: This option suggests that the expansion modules contribute six licenses to a global pool of licenses that can be used across the organization. This licensing model may be useful for organizations that need to distribute licenses across multiple fabric interconnects or data centers, but with fewer licenses available compared to option C.

E. The first six ports on the module are licensed by default: This option suggests that only the first six ports on the module are licensed by default, and additional licenses must be purchased to use the remaining ports. This licensing model could be useful for organizations that need to expand their port capacity but may not require all the ports on the module and would prefer a lower licensing cost.

In summary, the licensing model for unified port expansion modules for Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects can vary depending on the organization's requirements. Option A provides fully licensed ports by default, while options B and E provide partial licensing by default. Options C and D contribute licenses to a global pool that can be used across the organization.
