Upgrading the SANbox 5602 Switch
The SANbox 5602 product can come from the factory as an 8-, 12-, 16-, or 20-port
switch capable of 1-, 2-, and 10-Gbps port speeds. Ports 0–15 are capable of
1-Gbps/2-Gbps; ports 16–19 are capable of 10-Gbps. License keys are available
for purchase to enable additional ports up to the 20-port maximum and to add
4-Gbps port speed capability to ports 0–15. To purchase a license key, contact
your switch distributor or authorized reseller.
Upgrading a switch is not disruptive and does not require a switch reset. To
upgrade a switch using SANsurfer Switch Manager, do the following:
1. Add a fabric with the IP address of the switch you want to upgrade.
2. Open the faceplate display for the switch you want to upgrade.
3. Open the Switch Menu and select Features to open the Feature Licenses
dialog.
4. In the Feature Licenses dialog, click the Add button to open the Add License
Key dialog.
5. In the Add License Key dialog, enter the license key in the Key field.
6. Click the Get Description button to display the upgrade description.
7. Click the Add button to upgrade the switch. Allow a minute or two for the
upgrade to complete.
To upgrade a switch using the command line interface, refer to the “Feature
Command” on page B-18:

Powering Down a Switch
Simply unplugging the switch from the power source does not allow the switch to
complete executing tasks and could lead to flash memory corruption. For this
reason, open a Telnet session and use the Shutdown command to initiate an
orderly shut down, then power down the switch by unplugging both power cords.
Refer to the “Shutdown Command” on page B-90.
