The Cisco UCS 6296 Fabric Interconnect is a core component of the Cisco Unified Computing System, which is an integrated data center platform that includes computing, networking, storage, and virtualization resources.

In terms of licensing, the Cisco UCS 6296 Fabric Interconnect supports two types of licenses:

  1. Ethernet Port Licenses: These licenses are required for each physical port on the Fabric Interconnect that is used to connect to Ethernet-based networks.

  2. Fibre Channel Port Licenses: These licenses are required for each physical port on the Fabric Interconnect that is used to connect to Fibre Channel-based networks.

Now, as per the given question, it does not mention the type of license, so we have to assume that the question is asking about the total number of licenses provided with the purchase of the Cisco UCS 6296 Fabric Interconnect.

According to Cisco documentation, the Cisco UCS 6296 Fabric Interconnect comes with a default license of 16 10-Gbps Ethernet ports and 8 8-Gbps Fibre Channel ports.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question would be D. 8 licenses (i.e., 16 Ethernet port licenses and 8 Fibre Channel port licenses are provided by default with the purchase of Cisco UCS 6296 Fabric Interconnect).
