Hello there.
I know this is not a brocade community, but I also know that there are a lot of versatile specialists here and I think someone will help me with my question about brocade port licensing (furthermore I`ve already posted my question on brocade forum but still got no answer).
Well I got Brocade 5480 Embedded Switch in HP c7000 Enclosure with FOS 7.4.1, here is "switchshow":
So according "switchshow" there are 8 licensed ports and 16 unlicensed.
Here is "licenseport --show":
According to this no Port on Demand license is installed, so how Dynamic POD method could be in use? "licenseshow" shows that "Fabric license", "Enhanced Group Management license" and "8 Gig FC license" are installed.
Also I still got 4 "license reservations", how can I assign 4 more ports to use default license? May be "licenseport --reserve"? Also I would like to know how these licenses assigned to ports when I get new switch from the vendor. Are these licenses pre-assigned or the assignment should be done manually?
