dpod
Manages Dynamic Ports on Demand (POD) assignments.
Synopsis dpod rbridge-id/slot/port {reserve | release}
Operands rbridge-id Specifies the RBridge ID.
slot Specifies the slot number.
port Specifies the port number.
reserve Reserves a POD assignment for a port that is currently not able to come
online but is expected to be viable in the future. A port license assignment
that is reserved will be associated with the first port set that has a vacancy.
release Removes a port from the port set to which it is currently assigned.
Defaults None
Command Modes Global configuration mode
Description Use this command to manage Dynamic POD assignments.
Usage Guidelines A port POD assignment can only be released if the port is currently offline. Enter shutdown to take
the port offline.
Do not release a port unless you plan to disconnect the optical link or disable the port persistently.
If the link (server or optical) is left in a state where the port could be brought online, the Dynamic
POD mechanism will detect this unassigned port and attempt to reassign it to a port set.
This command has no effect on Brocade VDX 6710 and Brocade VDX 8770 switches. These
platforms do not support ports on demand.
In the Network OS v3.0.0 release this command is supported only on the local switch.
Examples To reserve a POD assignment:
switch(config)# dpod 0/10 reserve
switch(config-dpod-0/10)# exit
switch(config)# dpod 0/11 reserve
switch0(config-dpod-0/11)# exit
To remove a port from a POD port set:
switch(config)# dpod 5/0/10 release
switch(config-dpod-5/0/10)# exit
switch(config)# dpod 5/0/11 release
switch(config-dpod-5/0/11)# exit
