Ports on Demand
The Brocade models in the following list can be purchased with the number of licensed ports
indicated. As your needs increase, you can activate unlicensed ports up to a particular maximum
by purchasing and installing the optional Ports on Demand licensed product:
Brocade 300—Can be purchased with eight ports and no E_Port, eight ports with full fabric access,
or 16 ports with full fabric access. A maximum of 16 ports is allowed; eight-port systems can be
upgraded in four-port increments. An E_Port license upgrade is also available for purchase.
Brocade 5000—Can be purchased with 16, 24, or 32 licensed ports. A maximum of 32 ports is
allowed.
Brocade 5100—Can be purchased with 24, 32, or 40 licensed ports. A maximum of 40 ports is
allowed.
Brocade 5300—Can be purchased with 48, 64, or 80 licensed ports. A maximum of 80 ports is

ATTENTION
Licenses are not interchangeable between units. For example, if you bought a POD license for a
Brocade 300, you cannot use that license on a Brocade 5100 or VA-40FC. The licenses are based
on the switches' License Identifiers and are not interchangeable.
