The NPIV Max Login Limit option configures the maximum number of permitted logins per NPIV
port. Each NPIV port can support up to 255 logins. The range of valid values is from 1 through 255
logins per port. The default value is 126 logins.
This feature supports virtual switches, but not on physical switches. Each port can have a different
NPIV login limit value in each logical switch. The NPIV Max Login column displays the value
assigned to each port. The column is displays, by default, on the far right-hand side of the port
listing view.
To configure an NPIV port, perform the following steps.
1. Select Port Admin > Advanced Mode.
2. Select the FC Ports tab.
3. From the tree on the left, select the logical port you want to configure.
4. If the NPIV port is not already disabled, click Disable.
The NPIV login limit for a port can be set only for disabled ports.
5. Click NPIV Max Login.
The Configure NPIV Max Login dialog displays. You can configure only one port at a time.
6. Set the number of logins to allow on the selected port and click OK.
7. Cl ick Enable to bring the port back online.
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 lists the ports that are enabled by default settings and the ports that can be enabled after
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.
