Licensing for Ports on Demand
1. Download the PoD license to the device. For more information about copying the license file on
ICX devices, refer to “Using TFTP to copy a license file on FCX and ICX devices” on page 221.
2. Insert the 10 Gbps optic transceiver.
3. Enter the speed-duplex 10g-full command on a single, multiple, or interface range as shown in
the example below.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/3/1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/3/1)# speed-duplex 10g-full
4. Enter the write memory command to save the configuration.
Syntax: [no] speed-duplex [10g-full | 1000-full-master]
The 10g-full parameter allows you to enable the port speed to 10 Gbps speed.
The 1000-full-master parameter allows you to enable the port speed to 1 Gbps speed.
If you enable the port to 10 Gbps port speed, and then issue the no speed-duplex command, the
port continues to run at 10 Gbps speed. Upon bootup, the port reverts to 1 Gbps speed. In a
stacking environment, if you issue the no speed-duplex 10g-full command on a 10 Gbps port
interface, or a range of interfaces, the 10 Gbps port interface defaults back to 1 Gbps port speed in
five to ten seconds.
Configuring the upper PoD ports in a stack for
ICX 6610 devices only
By default, when a single ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license is downloaded onto the device, all four
lower PoD ports in the stack (1/3/1 to 1/3/4) are eligible for an upgrade to 10 Gbps port speed. If
you have a single ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license, and you want to enable the upper four PoD ports
(1/3/5 to 1/3/8) to 10 Gbps port speed, instead of the lower four PoD ports (1/3/1 to 1/3/4),
complete the following steps. If the lower four PoD ports are already configured for 10 Gbps speed,
you must first issue the no speed-duplex 10g-full command on the lower four PoD ports before
configuring the upper four PoD ports to 10 Gbps port speed.
The procedure below assumes that you have already downloaded the license.
NOTE
If you purchased a second ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license, you do not need to perform the steps
outlined below. The flexible-10g-ports upper command is used to configure the upper four PoD ports
to 10 Gbps port speed using a single ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license. The command can only be used
on the upper four PoD ports.
1. Enter the flexible-10g-ports upper command at the stack unit configuration level.
Brocade(config)# stack unit 2
Brocade(config-unit-2)#flexible-10g-ports upper
Brocade(config-unit-2)#exit
2. Specify the upper four PoD ports in a group with a single ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license at the
interface configuration level.
Brocade(config)#interface ethernet 2/3/5 to 2/3/8
3. Enable the 10 Gbps port speed for the upper four PoD ports by entering the following
command.
