Activating ports 5 3. From the tree on the left, select the logical port you want to disable. 4. Click the Disable NPIV button. The button is unavailable if NPIV is already disabled on the port. 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 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 71. Alternatively, you can disable and reenable the switch to activate all ports as described in "Enabling and disabling a switch" on page 37.
