Flexport Technology - A Flexport Technology switch is delivered
at a discount with only eight ports enabled. When additional port
capacity is required, the remaining ports are enabled (in
eight-port increments) through purchase of this feature.

with a large and mixed group of fabrics and attached devices.

Features are enabled through a PFE key that is encoded to work with
the serial number of a unique switch. A key is a case-sensitive
alphanumeric string with dashes every four characters.
