  o Re-build the port with the desired options enabled to install the correct runtime dependencies
  o Ensure the master and minions all have salt installed with these same options and dependencies
  o Add the line 'transport: [tcp|raet]' to both the master and minion configuration files
  o Restart salt on the master and minions
