5 Activating ports Ports on Demand is ready to be unlocked in the switch firmware. The 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 5 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.

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 Administration window, 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 69. Alternatively, you can disable and reenable the switch to activate all ports as described in "Enabling and disabling a switch" on page 34. To unlock a Ports on Demand license, you can use the supplied license key or generate a license key. If you need to generate a key, open an Internet browser and go to the Brocade Web site at www.brocade.com. Click Products > Software License Keys and follow the instructions to generate the key. Enabling Ports on Demand 1. Install the Brocade Ports on Demand licensed product. For instructions, see "Activating a license on a switch" on page 41. 2. Enable the ports as described in "Enabling and disabling a port" on page 69. 72 Web Tools Administrator's Guide 53-1000606-01
