How will the 6248UP Fabric Interconnect ports be licensed?
Will ports configured as Fiber Channel also consume a port license?
Will the Expansion Module be fully licensed or will it share license with fixed ports?

Robert,
Are you sure about the 16-port GEM module having just 6 licenses? The docs say it adds 8 licenses, and that's what I've always been told.
The eight default licenses that come with a 6200 series fabric interconnect expansion module can be used to enable ports on the base module

I stand corrected. I recall from earlier days it was originally 6, but that might have changed since the FCS release version.
Checking my 6248 I show "20" licenses, which makes sense since I have 12 base + 8 Expansion licenses:
Pod1-A /license # show usage

ETH_PORT_ACTIVATION_PKG B 20 20 27 License Graceperiod Matching 662400
Thanks for keeping me honest!
