Why each option
On the Cisco Nexus 7000, Layer 3 routing and Virtual Device Contexts are software features that require separate purchased licenses before they can be used.
Layer 3 forwarding on the Nexus 7000 requires the LAN Enterprise Services license or the Transport Services license depending on the installed line card. Without this license the switch operates as a Layer 2-only device and cannot route IP traffic between VLANs or subnets.
Virtual Device Contexts partition a single Nexus 7000 chassis into up to four independent logical switches, each with its own management plane and interfaces. This virtualization capability requires the VDC license; without it the switch operates only within the default VDC.
Virtual Port Channel (vPC) is bundled into the base NX-OS software on the Nexus 7000 and does not require a separate feature license to configure or use.
Fibre Channel support on the Nexus 7000 is dependent on specific hardware modules such as the F-Series line cards, not on a separately purchased software license.
