Modify the following commands in the Network OS Command Reference Supporting Network OS v2.1.1 (53-1002492-01), originally published in December 2011.

dpod

	Manages Dynamic Ports on Demand (POD) assignments.
Synopsis	dpod rbridge-id/slot/port{reserve release}
Operands	rbridge-id	Specifies a switch by its RBridge identifier.
	slot	Specifies the slot number.
	port	Specifies the port number.
	reserve	Reserves a POD assignment for a port that is currently not able to come
		online but is expected to be viable in the future. A port license assignment
		that is reserved will be associated with the first port set that has a vacancy.
	release	Removes a port from the port set to which it is currently assigned.
Defaults	This command has no default values.
Command	Global configuration mode.
Modes
Description	Use this command to manage Dynamic POD assignments.
	A port POD assignment can only be released if the port is currently offline. Use the shutdown
	command to take the port offline.
Usage	Do not release a port unless you plan to disconnect the optical link or disable the port persistently.
Guidelines	If the link (server or optical) is left in a state where the port could be brought online, the Dynamic
	POD mechanism will detect this unassigned port and attempt to reassign it to a port set.
	This command has no effect on a Brocade 6710. The VDX 6710 does not require POD licenses.
	The Brocade VDX 8700 does not support Dynamic PODs.
Examples	To reserve a POD assignment on RBridge 5 of a Brocade VCS Fabric cluster:
	switch(config)# dpod 5/0/10 reserve
	switch(config-dpod-5/0/10)# exit
	switch(config)# dpod 5/0/11 reserve
	switch0(config-dpod-5/0/11)# exit
	To remove a port from a POD port set:
	switch(config)# dpod 5/0/10 release
	switch(config-dpod-5/0/10)# exit
	switch(config)# dpod 5/0/11 release
	switch(config-dpod-5/0/11)# exit
See Also	None
