About On-Demand Port Activation Licensing
As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.1(1), you can expand your SAN connectivity as needed by
enabling users to purchase and install additional port licenses. By default, all ports are eligible for
license activation. On the Cisco MDS 9124 Fabric Switch, licenses are allocated sequentially. However,
you can move or reassign licenses to any eligible port on the switch.
On the Cisco MDS 9134 Fabric Switch, the first 32 ports operate at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps. The
switch has two ports that operate at 10 Gbps. Licenses are allocated sequentially.
On the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM
BladeCenter, licenses for internal ports are allocated as the ports come up. Licenses for external ports
are allocated sequentially.
