Ports on Demand

The Brocade models in the following list can be purchased with the number of licensed ports
indicated. As your needs increase, you can activate unlicensed ports up to a particular maximum
by purchasing and installing the optional Ports on Demand licensed product:
ATTENTION
Licenses are not interchangeable between units. For example, if you bought a POD license for a
Brocade 300, you cannot use that license on a Brocade 5100 or VA-40FC. The licenses are based
on the switche License Identifiers and are not interchangeable.
