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.
When using the Brocade 4016, 4018, 4020, and 4024 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.
