Port activation

Brocade switches come with a preset number of ports enabled. Additional ports can be enabled
using the Ports on Demand (POD) licenses and the Dynamic Ports on Demand (DPOD) feature (for
supported switches only).
Ports on Demand is ready to be unlocked in the switch firmware. The license might be part of the
licensed Paper Pack supplied with the switch software, or you can purchase the license separately
from your switch vendor, who will provide you with a key to unlock it. You can install up to two Ports
on Demand licenses on each switch.
Table 9
you install the first and second Ports on Demand licenses for each switch type, and the ports that
can be enabled with the Dynamic PODs feature.
