Releasing a port from a POD set

Once a port has been assigned to a Dynamic POD license port set, it remains licensed (or
“reserved”) until you remove the port from the port set. You remove a port from the port set by
editing the DPOD configuration with the RPC. Releasing a port removes it from the
Dynamic POD license port set; the port appears as unassigned until it comes back online.

To prevent a port from coming back online and taking a POD assignment, disable the port and save
the running configuration. This action will disable the port persistently.

A port POD assignment can only be released if the port is currently offline. Shut the port down to
disable the port or disable the switch if you plan to release multiple ports.

1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the

urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace to shut down the interface.
