Installing or removing a license
Refer to the Network OS Administrator’s Guide for procedures for installing and removing licenses.
You cannot install or remove licenses using the NETCONF interface.
Activating the Dynamic POD feature
To activate the Dynamic POD feature, complete the following steps.
1. Verify the current states of the ports with the <get-interface-detail> custom RPC located in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface-ext namespace.
The <line-protocol-state> and <line-protocol-state-info> fields shown in bold typeface in the
following example indicate whether a port is licensed.
<rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" message-id="714">
<get-interface-detail xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface-ext">
<interface-type xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">
TenGigabitEthernet</interface-type>
<interface-name xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">
22/0/1</interface-name>
</get-interface-detail>
</rpc>
<rpc-reply xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" message-id="714">
<interface xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface-ext">
<interface-type xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">
TenGigabitEthernet</interface-type>
<interface-name xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">1/0/1
</interface-name>
<ifindex>27</ifindex>
<mtu xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">2500</mtu>
<ip-mtu xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">2500</ip-mtu>
<if-name>1/0/1</if-name>
<if-state
xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">down</if-state>
<line-protocol-state
xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">down
</line-protocol-state>
<line-protocol-state-info>No DPOD License</line-protocol-state-info>
(output truncated)

details.
