Adding a port license

EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager allows you to enable Ports On Demand (POD) if you have a license
available. For the Brocade 7800, you can add the 7800 Upgrade License to activate ports 4–25.
This option is not available if all ports are already licensed.

1. Click Add Port License under Switch in the task panel.

A dialog box is displayed.
