Jerry. I think the default count indicates the default licensed ports on the Switch. The usage shows the available count.

THANKS!!! Just what I needed. I appreciated the straightforward directions without lots of disclaimers and such.

For the rookies like me, might be a good idea to backup the config to the same TFTP server you pulled the lic file from. Command follows. Of course use the appropriate IP address for your tftp server.

copy startup-config tftp://172.25.10.69/startup-configuration.bak1

OK great for add the lics, but how do I activate the ports added? Would be nice if it was just a simple command line. The show command default is like above: 8 ports and the usage shows 16 ports.. Any help would be great… thanks!
