NOTE
After adding an FCoE or DPOD license, you must disable and re-enable all affected ports. The
VCS Fabric license does not require re-enabling.
You can disable and then enable each affected port, or you can enter the chassis disable
command followed by the chassis enable command to re-enable the entire chassis.
switch# chassis disable
switch# chassis enable

privileged EXEC mode, enter the license add lictstr command to install the license. For FCoE
and DPOD licenses, you must also disable and enable the switch or port.
