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.
