Upgrading the SANbox 5600 Series Switch
The SANbox 5600 Series product can come from the factory as an 8-, 12-, 16-, or
20-port switch, enabling ports 0–7, 0–11, 0–15, or 0–19 respectively. Ports 0–15
are capable of 1-, 2-, or 4-Gbps; ports 16–19 are capable of 10-Gbps. You can
upgrade the SANbox 5600 Series switch to enable additional ports up to the
20-port maximum through the use of a license key. To purchase a license key,
contact your switch distributor or authorized reseller.
Upgrading a switch is not disruptive and does not require a switch reset. To
upgrade a switch using SANsurfer Switch Manager, do the following:
1. Add a fabric with the IP address of the switch you want to upgrade.
2. Open the faceplate display for the switch you want to upgrade.
3. Open the Switch Menu and select Features to open the Feature Licenses
dialog.
4. In the Feature Licenses dialog, click the Add button to open the Add License
Key dialog.
5. In the Add License Key dialog, enter the license key in the Key field.
6. Click the Get Description button to display the upgrade description.
7. Click the Add button to upgrade the switch. Allow a minute or two for the
upgrade to complete.
To upgrade a switch using the command line interface, refer to the ”Feature
Command” on page B-24.
