Upgrading or downgrading configuration considerations for PoD
Displaying license configuration for PoD ports for ICX 6450 devices
By default at bootup, the license state for ports 2 and 4 are in the acquired state. The following
output from the show pod command displays port 2 and 4 as acquired. Upon installing the
ICX6450-2X10G-LIC-POD license, ports 2 and 4 can be enabled to run in 10 Gbps port speed. The
license state for ports 2 and 4 remains in the acquired state.
If ports 2 and 4 are configured to 1 Gbps port speed, the license state changes to default. The
following output from the show pod command displays port 2 and 4 in the default state.
Syntax: show pod [unit <id>]
The unit <id> parameter specifies the unit ID number of the PoD you want to display.
For a description of the fields in the show pod and show pod [unit <id>] command outputs, refer to
Table 34 on page 211.
Upgrading or downgrading configuration considerations for PoD
Consider the following when upgrading or downgrading PoD ports for ICX 6610 or ICX 6450
devices:
• When a single ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license is downloaded onto the device, you can upgrade
the first four or the last four PoD ports to 10 Gbps port speed. However, if you upgrade the fifth
port to 10 Gbps port speed, the following syslog message and error message displays.
SYSLOG: <14>Jul 31 00:33:46 10.20.147.22 PoD: No license present for port
1/3/3".
POD:No license present for port 3.
The error message is displayed because the port you are attempting to upgrade to 10 Gbps
port speed has exceeded the license capacity that is downloaded onto the device. To upgrade
all eight ICX 6610 ports to 10 Gbps port speed, purchase a second ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD
license.
• There is no trial license available for the PoD feature for ICX 6610 and ICX 6450 devices.
