Activating Ports Brocade switches come with a preset number of ports enabled. Additional ports can be enabled using the Ports on Demand licenses and the Dynamic Ports on Demand feature (for supported switches only). Ports on Demand is ready to be unlocked in the switch firmware. Its license might be part of the licensed Paper Pack supplied with 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.

Activating Ports
Brocade switches come with a preset number of ports enabled. Additional ports can be enabled using
the Ports on Demand licenses and the Dynamic Ports on Demand feature (for supported switches only).
Ports on Demand is ready to be unlocked in the switch firmware. Its license might be part of the
licensed Paper Pack supplied with 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 4-1
shows the ports that are enabled by default 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.
For the SilkWorm 4018, 4016, 4020, and 4024 switches
only
, you can use the Dynamic Ports on
Demand (DPOD) feature, which allows you to choose which ports to enable (instead of predefined sets
of ports) after the POD license(s) is installed. Web Tools allows you only to enable or disable the DPOD
functionality on a port. To configure DPOD, see the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide
.
In the Port Management module, the
Licensed
attribute indicates whether a port is licensed (yes),
whether it can be license (possible) because there are free licenses available (only applicable with the
Dynamic POD feature), or whether it is not licensed and cannot be licensed because there is no
available license.
After the license keys are installed, you must enable the ports. You can do so without disrupting switch
operation, as described in
“Enabling and Disabling a Port”
on page 5-9. Alternatively, you can disable
and reenable the switch to activate all ports as described in
“Enabling and Disabling a Switch”
on
page 3-7.
