The base model of the Brocade Converged 10GbE Switch Module, 69Y1909, ships with 16 licensed
ports. This module supports the Dynamic Ports on Demand (DPOD) feature, where ports are licensed as
they come online independent of the port type. In the base model, two external CEE ports (ports 15 and
16) are pre-licensed and are pre-installed with two 10GbE optical transceivers. The remaining 14 licenses
are available to be assigned to other internal or external ports. The 16 licensed ports may be any
combination of external CEE ports, external FC ports, or internal CEE ports. After all the licenses have
been assigned, you can manually move licenses from one port to another.
Additional ports can be activated by purchasing the Brocade Converged 10GbE Switch Port Upgrade,
part number 69Y1917. This upgrade option activates the license for the remaining 14 ports. All internal
and external ports will then be licensed and can be used.
The switch ships standard with two small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) modules. Additional SFP+
transceivers can be ordered separately if required. Table 1 lists the transceivers that are supported.
