Reserving a license Reserving a license for a port assigns a POD license to that port whether the port is online or offline. That license will not be available to other ports that come online before the specified port. To allocate license to a specific port instead of automatically assigning them as the ports come online, reserve a license for the port. The port receives a POD assignment if any are available. To reserve a port license: 1. Connect to the switch and log in on an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Issue the licensePort --show command to verify that there are port reservations still available. switch:admin> licenseport --show 24 ports are available in this switch Full POD license is installed Dynamic POD method is in use 24 port assignments are provisioned for use in this switch: 12 port assignments are provisioned by the base switch license 12 port assignments are provisioned by a full POD license 10 ports are assigned to installed licenses: 10 ports are assigned to the base switch license 0 ports are assigned to the full POD license Ports assigned to the base switch license: 1*, 2*, 3*, 4*, 5*, 6*, 8*, 21, 22, 23 Ports assigned to the full POD license: None Ports not assigned to a license: 0, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 3. If a port reservation is available, issue the licensePort --reserve command to reserve a license for the port. switch:admin> licenseport -reserve 0 4. If all port reservations are assigned, select a port to release its POD license. You must disable the port first by issuing the command portdisable . 5. Issue the licensePort --release command to remove the port from the POD license. switch:admin> licenseport --release 0 6. Issue the licensePort --show command to verify there is an available port reservation. switch:admin> licenseport --show 24 ports are available in this switch Full POD license is installed Dynamic POD method is in use 24 port assignments are provisioned for use in this switch: 12 port assignments are provisioned by the base switch license 12 port assignments are provisioned by a full POD license 10 ports are assigned to installed licenses: 10 ports are assigned to the base switch license 0 ports are assigned to the full POD license Ports assigned to the base switch license: 1*, 2*, 3*, 4*, 5*, 6*, 8*, 21, 22, 23 Ports assigned to the full POD license: None Ports not assigned to a license: 0, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 7.
