Question about SAN EXTENSION LICENSE

[mstarita]

Hi all,

I know that on the MDS-9222i the license SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP is embedded on the integrated supervisor blade and no license is required to use it on the fixed IP port.

The question is if I need to do something to enable it and if there is a command to check if it is enabled.

My Customer sent this output and seems that there is no SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP license enabled

License Information

This package is licensed on a per-engine, per-module basis. The number of licenses that a customer needs to purchase is equal to the number of engines to be enabled for the feature on the Cisco MDS 9000 16-Port Storage Services Node, or one license per Cisco MDS 9000 18/4-Port Multiservice Module in a switch. The Cisco MDS 9000 SAN Extension license features are enabled by default on the embedded ports on the Cisco MDS 9222i chassis. No additional license is required to use FCIP and FCIP compression on these ports.

Since this package is built in for the fix slot, "show lic ..." won't display.
