Disabling Dynamic Ports on Demand

Disabling the Dynamic POD feature changes the POD method to static and erases any prior port
license associations or assignments the next time the switch is rebooted.
Use the following procedure to disable Dynamic Ports on Demand:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the licensePort --method command with the static option to change the license
3. Enter the reboot command to restart the switch.
4. Enter the licensePort --show command to verify the switch changed to static POD.
