Ports on Demand

After a port is assigned to the POD set, the port is licensed until it is manually removed from the
POD port set. When a port is released from its POD port set (Base, Single, or Double), it creates a
vacancy in that port set.
Use the following procedure to release a port from a POD set:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the switchDisable command to take the switch offline.
switch:admin> switchdisable
3. Enter the switchShow command to verify the switch state is offline.
4. Enter the licensePort
--release command to remove the port from the POD license.
switch:admin> licenseport --release 0
5. Enter the licensePort --show command to verify the port is no longer assigned to a POD set.
switch:admin> licenseport --show
