On-Demand Port Activation License Example

The following example shows how to do the following tasks:
•
•
•
If you do not want to accept the default behavior, or you need flexibility in terms of which ports acquire
a license, you may want to make a port ineligible. For example, if the first eight ports have a license, but
you want to move a license from port 7 to port 9, then you would need to make a port ineligible. Or, if
you have a port that should never acquire a license, you can make it ineligible and it will not be a
candidate for a license when additional licenses are installed.
This example is based on the default configuration for the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch.
Display the default port license configuration.
