Activating the Dynamic POD feature

Use the following procedure to activate the Dynamic POD feature.

Verify the current states of the ports with the show ip interface brief command.

The command output indicates whether a port is licensed.
Install the Port Upgrade license.
Use the shutdown and no shutdown commands to disable and re-enable the ports.
Use the show ip interface brief command to verify the newly activated ports.

Use the show interface ethernet slot/port command to display port details.

The following example shows a device without any Port Upgrade license installed on an interface module. The 12 ports in the base port set are online and assigned. The remaining 2 ports are unassigned and down.
