When using the Brocade 4016, 4018, 4020, 4024, 4424, 5424, 5450, 5460, 5470, 5480, 6505, 6510,
6520, and NC-5480 switches, you can enable the Dynamic Ports on Demand (DPOD) feature, which
allows you to select the ports to be enabled (instead of predefined sets of ports) after the POD license is
installed. Web Tools allows you only to enable or disable the DPOD functionality on a port. To configure
DPOD, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
In the Port Admin tab, the Licensed attribute for a port indicates whether a port is licensed (yes),
whether it can be licensed (possible) because there are free licenses available (only applicable with the
Dynamic Ports on Demand feature), or whether it is not licensed and cannot be licensed because there
is no available license.
