Each ICL connection is theequivalent of 16 fixed speed 16Gbit/sec E_PORTs. This additional fullduplex connection provides up to an additional 2 Tbit/sec ofb<strong>and</strong>width <strong>and</strong> does not consume usable ports.There is a common ICL POD (Ports on Dem<strong>and</strong>) license betweenSN8000 8-Slot <strong>and</strong> 4-Slot chassis. A single ICL POD license willenable 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps of b<strong>and</strong>width in both <strong>SN8000B</strong> 8-Slot<strong>and</strong> 4-Slot <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Director</strong>. A subsequent ICL POD license will enable anadditional 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps in a <strong>SN8000B</strong> 8-Slot <strong>Director</strong>.NOTE: Each <strong>SN8000B</strong> <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Director</strong> requires a license for ICLconnectivity (TC351A). Also requires QSFP (QK728A) <strong>and</strong> cables forICL connectivity (QK729 <strong>and</strong>/or QK731A).A maximum offour <strong>SN8000B</strong><strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Director</strong>smay be connectedusing ICLconnectivity<strong>HP</strong> <strong>SN8000B</strong> 8-slot <strong>Director</strong> Enterprise Inter Chassis Link License TC389A<strong>HP</strong> <strong>SN8000B</strong> 4-slot <strong>Director</strong> Enterprise Inter Chassis Link License TC390AInter Chassis Links (ICLs) harness unused ports to connect theswitching backplane of one <strong>SN8000B</strong> <strong>Director</strong> with the switchingbackplane of a second <strong>SN8000B</strong> <strong>Director</strong>.
