You are not required to perform any tasks beyond the default configuration unless you prefer to immediately activate additional ports, make ports ineligible, or move port licenses. Figure 11-1 shows the ports that are licensed by default for the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch. Figure 11-1 Cisco MDS 9124 Switch Default Port Licenses (fc1/1 - fc1/8) If you need additional connectivity, you can activate additional ports in 8-port increments with each on-demand port activation license, up to a total of 24 ports. On the Cisco MDS 9134 Switch, the first 24 ports that can operate at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps are licensed by default. If you need additional connectivity, you can activate the remaining eight ports with one on-demand port activation license. A separate 10G license file is required to activate the remaining two 10-Gbps ports. Figure 11-2 shows the ports that are licensed by default for the Cisco MDS 9134 Switch.
