Ports on demand
The DS-4900B has 64 ports. By default, ports 0 through 31 are
enabled. To enable additional ports, you must install Ports On
Demand (POD) licenses. The ports on demand license enables ports
in 16 port increments. To enable ports 32 through 47, you must install
a first POD license. To enable ports 48 through 63, you must install a
second POD license. Enabling ports on the switch is nondisruptive.
For detailed information on enabling additional ports using the Ports
on Demand license, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
