Definitely check your box again for an additional 8 SFPs. If you have a license for the POD 8 port upgrade (POD is Ports on Demand) you should have a total of 32 SFPs for the switch. You might want to check your packing slip as well.  Normally when we order a switch with additional ports the extra SFPS come in a separate box with the license paper in that same box.
Hello,  I have a Brocade DS200-B (16 ports) only 8 are used (have SFP), can I just add SFP to use the others ports or do I need a license ? How can I see the number of ports licensed ? More generaly when I get a new switch do I need to introduce a license to use it ? How ?  Thanks  Regards  Consty
