Upgrading the SANbox 5200 Switch

The SANbox 5200 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. You can upgrade the

SANbox 5200 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.

cannot upgrade an inband switch.

2. Isolate the switch from the fabric.
