Port Licensing

On the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch, the first eight ports are licensed by default. You are not required to
perform any tasks beyond the default configuration unless you prefer to immediately activate additional
ports, make ports ineligible, or move port licenses.

Figure 4-1
If you need additional connectivity, you can activate additional ports in 8-port increments with each
on-demand port activation license, up to a total of 24 ports.
On the Cisco MDS 9134 Switch, the first 24 ports that can operate at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps are
licensed by default. If you need additional connectivity, you can activate the remaining eight ports with
one on-demand port activation license. A separate 10G license file is required to activate the remaining
two 10-Gbps ports.
