Each switch running Fabric Watch must have a Fabric Watch license installed on it. A license may
have been installed in the switch at the factory. If not, contact your switch supplier to obtain a
license key.
Fabric Watch requires a SilkWorm 2000 series switch or above running Brocade’s Fabric OS
TM
3.0. A Fabric Watch license can be installed either using telnet commands or through Brocade Web
Tools
TM
.
Installing through Telnet
To install Fabric Watch using telnet commands perform the following steps:
1. Log onto the switch by telnet (refer to Brocade Fabric OS User’s Guide for details), using an
account that has administrative privileges.
2. To determine whether a Fabric Watch license is already installed on the switch, type
licenseShow on the telnet command line.
A list displays all the licenses currently installed on the switch.
Example:
admin> licenseShow
1A1AaAaaaAAAA1a:
Release v3.0
Web license
Zoning license
SES license
QuickLoop license
If the Fabric Watch license is not included in the list or is incorrect, continue with step [3].
3. Enter the following on the command line:
licenseAdd “key”
where “key” is the license key provided to you, surrounded by double quotes. The license key
is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as given.
4. Verify the license was added by entering the following on the command line:
licenseShow
If the license is not listed, repeat step [3].
