Disabling the FPoD ports on the rear panel
Enter the following command to disable the ports in group 1.
Brocade(config)# no fpod-40g-enable group 1
Ports 1/2/1 and 1/2/2 in group 1 are disabled. With a 2-port capacity license, you can choose to
enable any one group out of the three groups (group 1, group 2, or group 3). For example, if you
want to disable the ports in group 1 and enable the ports in group 2, perform the following steps.
1. Disable ports for group 1.
Brocade(config)# no fpod-40g-enable group 1
2. Enable ports for group 2.
Brocade(config)# fpod-40g-enable group 2
Ports 1/2/3 and 1/2/4 are enabled. A system reload is not required.
With a 4-port capacity license, you can choose to enable any two groups out of the three groups.
For example, if you want to enable the ports in group 3, but you have already enabled the ports in
group 1 and group 2, you must first disable the ports in group 1 or group 2. If you do not disable the
ports in group 1 or group 2, the following error message displays on the CLI.
Brocade(config)#fpod-40g-enable group 3
Error: 40G PoD license capacity has been exceeded
The error message implies that you have exceeded the license capacity for this unit. To enable
ports in group 3, perform the following steps.
1. Disable ports in group 1 or 2.
Brocade(config)# no fpod-40g-enable group 2
2. Enable ports in group 3.
Brocade(config)# fpod-40g-enable group 3
3. Use the show pod command to display configuration information for the groups enabled as
shown in the example output below.
