Upgrading or downgrading configuration considerations for PoD
Configuration considerations for stacking or
trunking PoD ports
Consider the following when stacking or trunking PoD ports for ICX 6610 or ICX 6450 devices:
• In an ICX Ironstack, a stack member unit without a PoD license can join a stack even when the
active or master stack unit has a PoD license.
• All trunk ports must operate at 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps speed in a stack. You cannot mix and match
trunk ports with different port speeds.
• In a trunk formation, if there is no license installed in a stack upon bootup or hot swap of a
stack unit, a port is disabled. This does not affect the trunk formation.
Configuration considerations when configuring
PoD on an interface
Consider the following when configuring PoD on an interface or a range of interfaces on ICX 6610
or ICX 6450 devices:
• The speed-duplex 10g-full command is rejected when there is no license or an insufficient
license in the unit. For example, an insufficient license implies that you are attempting to
upgrade all eight ports to 10 Gbps port speed, and you have downloaded a single
ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license. The following syslog message and error message is generated.
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 2
• When the speed-duplex 10g-full command is configured for a port or multiple ports on an
interface, and there is no license or an insufficient license in the stack upon bootup or hot
swap of a stack unit, the port is configured to 10 Gbps port speed. However, the port is in
ERROR_DISABLED state until you install the correct license in the stack. A syslog message is
generated every 30 seconds stating that the license is not present on the port. The error
disable recovery timer checks every 30 seconds to see if the correct license is installed in the
stack. Once the correct license is installed, the port is automatically enabled to operate at 10
Gbps port speed on the next cycle of the timer. You can also enable the port manually to
operate at 10 Gbps port speed once the correct license is installed.
• In a stack, the speed-duplex 10g-full command is rejected on the primary port if all ports in a
trunk do not have the correct license installed to upgrade to 10 Gbps port speed. The following
error message is displayed.
Error:Not enough 10Gig License present for all the ports in trunk
• If you delete the license from the stack, the port runs in 10 Gbps mode until the switch is
reloaded. If the speed-duplex 10g-full command is entered, the following syslog message is
displayed.
SYSLOG: <14>Jul 31 00:33:46 10.20.147.22 PoD: No license present for port
1/3/3".
• The show interface ethernet <stack-unit>/<slotnum>/<portnum> command can be used to
display the configuration for a disabled 10 Gbps interface port, or a range of port interfaces
after bootup for both ICX 6610 and ICX 6450 devices. The show interface ethernet command
displays the port in the ERROR_DISABLED state. The following example output is from an ICX
6450 device.
