Software licensing overview
Prior to the introduction of software licensing, Brocade supported hardware-based licensing, where an
EEPROM was used to upgrade a Layer 2 or base Layer 3 switch to a premium or advanced Layer 3
switch. With the introduction of software licensing, one or more valid software licenses are required to
run licensed features on the device.
Software licensing is designed to work together with hardware-based licensing. The first release of
software licensing employed a combination of hardware-based and software licensing. A Brocade
device can use hardware-based licensing, software licensing, or both. Current releases that support
software licensing use software licensing only, eliminating the need for a customer- or factory-installed
EEPROM on the management module or switch backplane.
Software licensing provides increased scalability and rapid deployment of hardware and software
features on the supported Brocade family of switches. For example, for premium upgrades, it is no
longer necessary to physically open the chassis and install an EEPROM to upgrade the system.
Instead, the Web is used to generate, download, and install a software license that enables premium
features on the device.

NOTE
An ICX device only supports software licensing. Hardware-based licensing is not supported on ICX
devices.

How software licensing works
A permanent license (for select features on specific units) can be ordered pre-installed in a Brocade
device when first shipped from the factory, or later ordered and installed by the customer. In either case,
additional licenses can be ordered as needed.
When a license is ordered separately (not pre-installed), an entitlement certificate or e-mail message,
along with a transaction key, are issued to the customer by Brocade as proof of purchase. The
transaction key and license ID (LID) of the Brocade device are used to generate a license key from the
Brocade software portal. The license key is contained within a license file, which is downloaded to the

FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide
53-1003091-02

Seamless transition for legacy devices

customer’s PC, where the file can then be transferred to a TFTP or SCP server, and then uploaded to
the Brocade device.
Once a license is installed on the Brocade device, it has the following effects:
•
•

For FCX and ICX devices, the license unlocks the licensed feature and it becomes available
immediately. There is no need to reload the software.
For FSX devices, the license unlocks the ability to upload the software image (for example,
Premium Layer 3) onto the device. Once the software image is installed and the software is
reloaded, the license unlocks the licensed feature.

When a trial license expires, the commands and CLI related to the feature are disabled, but the feature
itself cannot be disabled until the system reloads.

Seamless transition for legacy devices
The term "legacy device" refers to a Brocade device that was shipped prior to the introduction of
software-based licensing, has an EEPROM installed, and is running a FastIron release prior to
07.1.00.
The transition to software licensing is seamless for legacy devices. When upgraded to a release that
supports software-based licensing, these devices will continue to operate as previously configured.

NOTE
There are special considerations and instructions for FastIron legacy devices in need of replacement
(by way of a Return Merchandise Agreement [RMA]). For details, refer to Special replacement
instructions for legacy devices on page 21.

License types
The following license types are supported on FastIron devices:
•

•

•

Application-related - Enables premium or advanced features on the device, for example advanced
Layer 3 for the FCX, premium and advanced Layer 3 for the ICX 6610, premium Layer 3 for the
ICX 6450, and full Layer 3 for the FSX 800 and FSX 1600.
Trial license - Also called a temporary license, this license enables a license-controlled feature to
run on the device on a temporary basis. A trial license enables demonstration and evaluation of a
licensed feature and can be valid for a period of 45 days. For more information about a trial
license, refer to Using a trial license on page 20.
Normal license - Also called a permanent license, this license enables a license-controlled feature
to run on the device indefinitely.

Software licensing terminology
The following terms are used in this document:
•

8

Entitlement certificate - The proof-of-purchase certificate (paperpack) issued by Brocade when a
license is purchased. The certificate contains a unique transaction key that is used in conjunction

53-1003091-02

Licensing rules

•
•

•
•

with the license ID (LID) of the Brocade device to generate and download a software license from
the Brocade software portal.
License file - The file produced by the Brocade software portal when the license is generated. The
file is uploaded to the Brocade device and controls access to a licensed feature or feature set.
License ID (LID) - The identification number that uniquely identifies the Brocade device. The LID is
used in conjunction with a transaction key to generate and download a software license from the
Brocade software portal. The software license is tied to the LID of the Brocade device for which the
license was ordered and generated.
Licensed feature - Any hardware or software feature or set of features that require a valid software
license in order to operate on the device.
Transaction key - A unique key, along with the LID, used to generate a software license from the
Brocade software portal. The transaction key is issued by Brocade when a license is purchased.
The transaction key is delivered according to the method specified when the order is placed:
‐
‐

Paperpack - The transaction key is recorded on an entitlement certificate, which is mailed
to the customer.
Electronic - The transaction key is contained in an e-mail message, which is sent instantly
to the customer after the order is placed. The customer receives the e-mail message
within a few minutes after the order is placed, though the timing will vary depending on the
network, Internet connection, and so on.

If a delivery method is not specified at the time of the order, the key will be delivered by the way of
paperpack.

Licensing rules
This section lists the software licensing rules and caveats related to the Brocade devices that support
software licensing.

General notes about licensing
The following licensing rules apply to all FastIron devices that support software licensing:
•

•

•
•
•

A license is tied to the unique LID of the management module or fixed configuration switch for
which the license was ordered. Therefore, a license can be used on one device only. It cannot be
used on any other device.
More than one license can be installed per device. For example, an FSX 800 with IPv6 hardware
can have the SX-FIL3U-6-IPV4 license and the SX-FIL3U-6-IPV6 license, and both can be in
effect.
Only one normal or trial license at a time can be in effect for a licensed feature.
More than one trial license can be in effect at the same time, as long as each trial license applies to
a unique licensed feature.
A trial license cannot replace or supersede a normal license.

Licensing rules for FCX and ICX 6610 devices
The following licensing rule applies to FCX and ICX 6610 devices for software-based licensing. To
describe the behavior for running software-based licensing in an FCX traditional stack, the FCX-ADVLIC-SW license is used as an example.

FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide
53-1003091-02

9

Licensing rules for FSX 800 and FSX 1600 devices

NOTE
For FCX and ICX 6610 devices, the behavior for running software licensing with different licenses
(Premium, Advance, or Upgrade licenses) is the same. One license allows multiple protocols to run in
a stack. All units must have a separate license to run the same licensed feature in a stack. If all units
do not have the same license, the Active controller cannot enable the licensed feature on the stack. If
a member unit without a license joins a stack, the Active controller must make sure that no protocols
are enabled in a stack before putting a member unit into full operational state.
•

Each stack unit in an FCX traditional stack must have a separate software license for the same
licensed feature. For example, if there are eight units in a traditional stack, eight separate licenses
must be purchased to run the licensed features in the stack. If there is any unit in a stack without
the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license, the Active controller cannot run the licensed features on the stack.

For example, to run BGP on the stack, the router bgp command must enabled through the CLI on the
Active controller. If the Active controller does not have the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license, the user cannot
configure the router bgp command at the CLI level. If the Active controller has the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW
license, and the router bgp command is enabled at the CLI level, the system checks all operational
units to verify that each unit has the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license. Only if all the operational units have
the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license will the licensed feature run in the stack. If any unit does not have the
FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license, the router bgp command is rejected and the licensed feature cannot run in
the stack. For example, the following error message is displayed on the console.
device(config)#router bgp
Error! cannot run BGP because unit 2 has no FCX-ADV license

If the Active controller is running BGP (and all other licensed features if enabled), and a unit without
the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license joins the stack, the unit is put into a non-operational state. If a user
copies the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license to a non-operational unit, it takes effect immediately and the unit
becomes operational. If the operational unit has a higher priority than the current Standby controller,
the unit replaces the existing Standby controller and becomes the new Standby controller. This
behavior applies to all cases in which a non-operational unit becomes operational. If a user disables
BGP from the stack, the Active controller puts all non-operational units in the operational state. The
Active controller and the Standby controller must have the same non-operational units.
When the Standby controller receives the runtime configuration from the Active controller, the Standby
controller must update the state of every unit (operational or non-operational state). If a user deletes
the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license in any stack unit, the Active controller does not change the unit to the
non-operational state regardless of running BGP or not. Even if a new election algorithm change
occurs, an operational unit is not changed to a non-operational unit. The stack continues its BGP
running state. The stack cannot run BGP again after the user disables BGP, or after a reload. If BGP
is not enabled on the Active controller, a stack unit is operational whether or not the Active controller
or the stack units have the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license. This implies that in a stack where all units
(Active controller, Standby controller, and member units) have the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license, a stack
can be formed whether or not BGP is enabled. However, if there is a license mismatch between any of
the units in a stack, a stack can still be formed provided that the router bgp command is not enabled
on the Active controller. The FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license is not considered when selecting a unit to be
the Standby controller.

Licensing rules for FSX 800 and FSX 1600 devices
FSX 800 and FSX 1600 devices with redundant management modules must have two separate
licenses to run the same licensed feature on both management modules. The license file in the active
management module is never copied to or updated on the standby management module.
Upon bootup, the active management module compares its license with the standby management
module. If the license differs, the active management module immediately shuts down the standby

Viewing software license information from the Brocade software portal

management module. To enable the standby management module, you must install a separate license.
For example, if the active management module has the SX-FIL3U-SW license, the standby
management module must also have this license.

Viewing software license information from the Brocade software

Installing a license file
Once you obtain a license file, place it on a TFTP or SCP server to which the Brocade device has
access, and then use TFTP or SCP to copy the file to the license database of the Brocade device.

Using TFTP to copy a license file on FSX 800 and FSX 1600 devices
To copy a license file from a TFTP server to the license database of the Brocade device, enter a
command such as the following at the privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
device# copy tftp license 10.1.1.1 lic.xml

Syntax: copy tftp license [ IP_address |ipv6_address]license_filename_on_host
The IP_address variable is the address of the IPv4 TFTP server.
The ipv6_address variable is the address of the IPv6 TFTP server.
The license_filename_on_host variable is the file name of the license file.
If you attempt to download the same license twice on the device, the following error message is
displayed on the console.
Can't add the license string - 93 (DUPLICATE_LICENSE)

Using TFTP to copy a license file on FCX and ICX devices
You can copy a license file from the active unit to all other member units without having to physically
disable the stack to install a license for each unit. To copy a license file from the active unit to all other
member units in the system, enter a command such as the following at the privileged EXEC level of
the CLI.
device# copy tftp license 10.120.54.185 FCX_ADV_LIC_PERP.xml unit 2

Syntax: copy tftp license [IP_address|ipv6_address]license_filename_on_host unit unit_id
The IP_address variable is the address of the IPv4 TFTP server.
The ipv6_address variable is the address of the IPv6 TFTP server.
The license_filename_on_host variable is the file name of the license file.
The unit unit_id parameter specifies a unit for which you want to add a software license file. The
unit_id variable can be from 1 through 8.
If you attempt to download the same license twice on the device, the following error message is
displayed on the console.
Can't add the license string - 93 (DUPLICATE_LICENSE)

Using Secure Copy to install a license
SSH and Secure Copy (SCP) must be enabled on the Brocade device before the procedures in this
section can be performed. For details, refer to the "SSH2 and SCP" chapter in the FastIron Ethernet
Switch Security Configuration Guide.

Verifying the license file installation

The scp license_file_on_host user @ IP_address :license command is supported on FSX 800 and FSX
1600 devices.
To copy a license file from an SCP-enabled client to the license database of the Brocade device, enter
a command such as the following on the SCP-enabled client.
scp c:\license\license101 terry@10.1.1.1:license

Syntax: scp license_file_on_hostuser@ IP_address:license
On FCX and ICX devices, to copy a license file from an SCP-enabled client to the license database of a
specific unit, enter a command such as the following on the SCP-enabled client.
scp license.xml terry@10.20.91.39:license:3

In the example the license is copied to unit 3.
Syntax: scplicense_file_on_hostuser@IP_address:license:unit_id
The unit_id variable specifies a unit for which you want to add a software license file. The unit_id
variable can be from 1 through 8.

Verifying the license file installation
Use the show license command to verify that the license is installed on the device. Details about this
command are in Viewing information about software licenses on page 23.

Deleting a license file
A license remains in the license database until it is deleted. If you want to delete a license, Brocade
recommends that you first disable the licensed feature before deleting the associated license.

NOTE
If a trial license and a normal license for the same licensed feature are added to the system (in either
order), the normal license cannot be deleted first. The trial license should be deleted first, and then the
normal license can be deleted. If necessary, the same trial license can be reinstalled and used as long
as it has not expired.

Deleting a license on FSX 800 and FSX 1600 devices
To delete a license, enter a command such as the following at the privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
device# license delete 7

The license delete command immediately removes the license from the license database. The CLI
commands related to the licensed feature will no longer be available from the CLI. The licensed feature
will continue to run as configured until the software is reloaded, at which time the feature will be
disabled and removed from the system. Syslog and trap messages are generated when the license is
deleted.
Syntax: license delete index_number

FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide
53-1003091-02

19

Deleting a license on FCX and ICX devices

The index_number variable is a valid license index number. The license index number can be
retrieved from the show license command output. For more information, refer to Viewing information
about software licenses on page 23.

NOTE
When removing a license on an FSX device running a release 08.0.01 image, Brocade recommends
an immediate reboot.

Deleting a license on FCX and ICX devices
To delete all license files for a specific unit, enter the following command at the privileged EXEC level
of the CLI.
device# license delete unit 3 all

To delete a specific license file from a unit, enter the following command at the privileged EXEC level
of the CLI.
device# license delete unit 3 index 3

Syntax: license delete unit unit_id [ all | index license_index]
The unit_id variable specifies the unit ID number.
The all option allows you to delete all license files for a specific unit.
The index license_index parameter specifies the software license file, and is generated by the
member unit. The license index number is the license file you want to delete from a unit. The license
index number is not unique across stack units, and the user must specify both the unit number and the
index number to delete a license from a specific unit. For example, the FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license is
installed on both stack unit 3, index 1, and stack unit 5, index 1. Because the index numbers are the
same, the user must specify both the unit number and the index number to delete a license from a
specific unit.
In the ICX 6650, deleting a 10 GbE or 40 GbE license requires a system reload for the command to
take effect.

Using a trial license
NOTE
A trial license must be requested and installed by a Brocade representative.
A trial license enables demonstration and evaluation of a licensed feature. The trial license is valid for
a period of up to 45 days, and is renewable for an additional 45 days. A licensed feature operating
under a trial license has the same functionality (CLI and show commands) as does a licensed feature
operating under a normal license. You cannot install more than one trial license of the same license ID
on the device. Only one trial license of the same license ID is operational.

What happens when a trial license expires
A trial license expires when it exceeds the specified expiration time or date. The countdown starts
when the trial license is generated. When the license expires, the CLI commands related to the

20

FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide
53-1003091-02

Console, syslog, and trap messages for trial license expiration

licensed feature will no longer be available from the CLI. The licensed feature will continue to run as
configured until the system is reloaded, at which time the feature will be disabled and removed from the
system.

NOTE
Trial licenses are not cumulative. The new license replaces the current license. To extend the license,
you must contact your Brocade representative.

Console, syslog, and trap messages for trial license expiration
Three days prior to the date that a trial license is set to expire, the following warning message will
appear daily on the console. On the day that the license will expire, the warning message will appear
every two hours. Syslog and trap messages will also be generated.
SYSLOG: <12>Jan 1 00:00:00 624-top License: Package FSX624-L3U-IPV6 with LID NFLXXXX
expires in 3 days

When the license has expired, the following message will appear on the console. Syslog and trap
messages will also be generated.
SYSLOG: <13>Jan
has expired

1 00:00:00 624-top License: Package FSX624-L3U-IPV6 with LID NFLXXXX

Renewing or extending a trial license
A trial license can be extended once by another trial license of the same type, or by a normal license of
the same type. To avoid any interruptions to the network, obtain and install the second trial license
before the first license expires. When extended by another trial license, the duration is not cumulative.
The countdown starts when the trial license is generated.
To extend the license, you must contact your Brocade representative.

Transferring a license
NOTE
Only the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) can perform a license transfer. If you need to transfer a
license from one Brocade device to another, contact your Brocade representative for more information.
A license can be transferred between Brocade devices only if both the following conditions are true:
•
•

The device is under an active support contract.
The license is being transferred between two similar models (for example, from a 24-port model to
another 24-port model or from a 48-port model to another 48-port model).

Special replacement instructions for legacy devices
A legacy device refers to a Brocade device that was shipped prior to the introduction of software
licensing, has an EEPROM installed, and is running a FastIron release prior to 07.1.00.

FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide
53-1003091-02

Syslog messages and trap information

For Brocade legacy devices in need of replacement (by way of a Return Merchandise Agreement
[RMA]), the following actions must be taken:
•
•

If the replacement device will be upgraded to a software release that supports software licensing,
registration of the replacement device is required after the software is upgraded.
If the replacement device will be using a software release that does not support software
licensing, follow these instructions:

NOTE
This procedure is not supported on FCX and ICX platforms.
1.

Prior to shipping the device in need of replacement back to the factory, remove the EEPROM
from the device. To remove the EEPROM, follow the instructions in the appropriate hardware
installation guide or in the instructions that shipped with the EEPROM.

2.

After removing the EEPROM, store it in a safe place.

3.

When the replacement device is received from the factory, install the previously removed
EEPROM in the device. To do so, follow the instructions that shipped with the EEPROM.

Overview of licensing for Ports on Demand
NOTE
Licensing for Ports on Demand is applicable to ICX 6610 , ICX 6450, and ICX 6650 devices.
You can use the Ports on Demand (PoD) feature to enable 1 Gbps ports to 40 Gbps port speed.
By default, regardless of what SFP+ media optic is used, the ICX 6610 device has eight active 1 Gbps
uplink ports. To increase the uplink capacity of four ports from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps port speed, purchase
a single ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license. To increase the uplink capacity of all eight ports from 1 Gbps
to 10 Gbps port speed, purchase a second ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license.

NOTE
For 10Gbps PoD licenses, the ICX 6610 device does not support a trial license along with a permanent
license at the same time even for different ports. The permanent license causes the trial license to be
marked as obsolete.
The ICX 6450 device has four active uplink and stacking ports on slot 2. By default, regardless of what
SFP+ media optic is used, ports 1 and 3 are 10 Gbps ports. By default, without a license at bootup,
ports 2 and 4 come up in 10 Gbps port speed in an error disabled state. To enable ports 2 and 4 to 10
Gbps port speed, purchase the ICX6450-2X10G-LIC-POD license. For more information about enabling

Configuring PoD on an interface

ports 2 and 4 to 10 Gbps port speed, refer to Configuration considerations when configuring PoD for
ICX 6450 devices only on page 38.
The PoD feature is not applicable to ICX 6430 devices because there are no 10 Gbps ports on the
device.
The PoD feature for ICX 6650 is explained in detail in the Ports on Demand Licensing on the ICX 6650
section.

Configuring PoD on an interface
To upgrade the ICX 6610 and ICX 6450 ports from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps port speed, perform the
following steps.
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 18.

2.

Insert the 10 Gbps optic transceiver.

3.

Enter the speed-duplex 10g-full command on a single, multiple, or interface range on ICX 6610
devices only, as shown in the following example.
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/3/1
device(config-if-e10000-1/3/1)# speed-duplex 10g-full

NOTE
You do not need to enter the speed-duplex 10g-full command onICX 6450 devices when
configuring PoD on an interface.
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 following procedure assumes that you have already downloaded the license.

Displaying license configuration for PoD ports after a license upgrade

NOTE
If you purchased a second ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license, you do not need to perform the following
steps. 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.
device(config)# stack unit 2
device(config-unit-2)#flexible-10g-ports upper
device(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.
device(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.
device(config-mif-2/3/5-2/3/8)#speed-duplex 10g-full
Port 2/3/5 mode changed from 1G to 10G
Port 2/3/6 mode changed from 1G to 10G
Port 2/3/7 mode changed from 1G to 10G
Port 2/3/8 mode changed from 1G to 10G
device(config-mif-2/3/5-2/3/8)#end

Syntax: [no] flexible-10g-ports upper
Use the no form of the flexible-10g-ports upper command when you want to enable the lower
four PoD ports, instead of the upper four PoD ports, to 10 Gbps port speed. Before you issue the
no flexible-10g-ports upper command, you must first issue the no speed-duplex 10g-full
command on the upper four PoD ports.
To display the configuration for the flexible-10g-ports upper command on a stack unit, use the
show stack command with the appropriate parameters.

Displaying license configuration for PoD ports after a license upgrade
NOTE
The show pod command cannot be used to display the configuration for 1 Gbps or 40 Gbps ports on
ICX 6610 and ICX 6450 devices.
The show pod command is used to display a license configuration for PoD ports in a stack after a

Whether the license is used by the port.

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.

Configuration considerations for stacking or trunking PoD ports
Consider the following when stacking or trunking PoD ports for ICX 6610 orICX 6450 devices:
•
•
•

36

In an ICX traditional stack, 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

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 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.

device#show interface ethernet 3/2/2

•

•

By default, without a license at bootup, ports 2 and 4 come up in 10 Gbps port speed in an error
disabled state. The show interface ethernet command displays the port in the
ERROR_DISABLED state at bootup. Refer to section, Configuration considerations when
configuring PoD on an interface on page 37 for output examples from the show interface
ethernet command.
From the default state, ports 2 and 4 can be configured to 1 Gbps port speed using the speedduplex 1000-full-master command without a license. You do not need to reboot the switch for
the links to come up in 1 Gbps port speed.
If you download the ICX6450-2X10G-LIC-POD license to the device, insert the correct 10 Gbps
optic transceiver, and enter the speed-duplex 10g-full command on the interface, you can
immediately begin using ports 2 and 4 in 10 Gbps port speed. You do not need to reboot the
switch for the links to come up.
For any of the four uplink ports on slot 2, if you reconfigure any port from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps port
speed, you must reload the switch to begin using the ports in 10 Gbps port speed. Until you
reload the switch, the ports will remain in an error-disabled state. The following example output
displays Ethernet port 4 in an error-disabled state.

You can add an ICX6650-2P40G-POD license to any configuration. For example, you can add an
ICX6650-2P40G-POD license to a base 32-port configuration.
In a trunk formation, if there is no license upon bootup or hot swap of a unit, a port is disabled. This
does not affect the trunk formation.
A 10 GbE or 40 GbE port can be in one of the following port states:
- Error-disabled (invalid license)
- Down
- Up
A port is in an error-disabled (invalid license) state when there is no license installed in the device.
An invalid license implies that you have incorrectly installed a license that is not tied to the device.
When a physical link is established between two devices, but a license is not installed in the device,
the port remains in an error-disabled state. A port is operational only when you install the correct
license in the device.The show interface ethernet command displays the port in the
ERROR_DISABLED state because there is no license installed, and there is no physical link
between two devices. The following example output is from a Brocade ICX 6650 device.

Ports on Demand licensing on the ICX 6650
.
The Brocade ICX 6650 device features Ports on Demand licensing. With Ports on Demand licensing,
software features do not require licenses and you can add port licenses as needed. The Brocade ICX
6650 device supports:
•
•
•

56 front-panel, dual-speed 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports
4 rear-panel 40 GbE QSFP+ ports
2 rear-panel 4x10 GbE QSFP+ breakout ports

The details for obtaining a license is provided in the "Obtaining a license" section of the "Software
Licensing Overview" chapter.

NOTE
There is no trial license available for the PoD feature for the ICX 6650 device.

Front Panel PoD
The front panel has the following fixed PoD ports:
•
•

Ports 1/1/1 to 1/1/32 are enabled by default.
Ports 1/1/33 to 1/1/56 are disabled by default and are in an error-disabled state.

For a detailed description of the port states (up, down, or error-disabled), refer to the Configuration
considerations when configuring PoD for Brocade ICX 6650 devices section. The following is an
illustration of the front panel ports.
FIGURE 7 Brocade ICX 6650 front panel ports

Rear Panel Flexible Ports on Demand
The rear panel has 6 QSFP+ ports:

40

Enabling ports on the front panel

•
•

2 pairs of 40 ports that are error-disabled by default.
2 ports that can be converted to eight ports using a breakout cable. The ports are error disabled by
default.

The ports on the rear panel are categorized into groups. Each group requires a Flexible PoD (FPoD)
license to enable the ports. For more information about using the FPoD license with a group of ports,
refer to Disabling the FPoD ports on the rear panel section.
•
•
•

Group 1 = Ports 1/2/1 - 1/2/2. When enabled, these ports operate at 40 GbE.
Group 2 = Ports 1/2/3 - 1/2/4. When enabled, these ports operate at 40 GbE.
Group 3 = Ports 1/3/1-4, 1/3/5-8. When enabled, these breakout ports operate at 10 GbE.

The following is an illustration of the rear panel ports.
FIGURE 8 Brocade ICX 6650 rear panel ports on demand

Enabling ports on the front panel
By default, ports 1/1/33 to 1/1/56 are in an error-disabled state. Use the ICX6650-10G-LIC-POD license
to enable these ports. Once enabled, the ports are up at 10 GbE port speed. One ICX6650-10G-LICPOD license enables eight ports at a time in sequential order.
1.

Download the ICX6650-10G-LIC-POD license from the Brocade software portal onto the Brocade
device.

2.

Place the license file on a TFTP or SCP server to which the Brocade device has access to.

3.

Use TFTP or SCP to copy the file to the license database of the Brocade device. To use TFTP to
copy the file to the license database of the Brocade device, enter the following command.
Brocade# copy tftp license 10.120.54.185 lic.xml unit 1

The ports in the group are enabled without a system reload. The port status is up in 30 seconds.
You can use the no fpod-40g-enable group groupID command to disable the port speed for the
groups specified. The ports become non-operational and revert back to the default state, errordisabled. A system reload is not required.
7.

Use the show pod and show license commands to display information on port licensing.

Disabling the FPoD ports on the rear panel
Enter the following command to disable the ports in group 1.
Brocade(config)# no fpod-40g-enable group 1

Ports 1/2/1 and 1/2/2 in group 1 are disabled. With a 2-port capacity license, you can choose to enable
any one group out of the three groups (group 1, group 2, or group 3). For example, if you want to
disable the ports in group 1 and enable the ports in group 2, perform the following steps.
1.

Disable ports for group 1.
Brocade(config)# no fpod-40g-enable group 1

2.

Enable ports for group 2.
Brocade(config)# fpod-40g-enable group 2

Ports 1/2/3 and 1/2/4 are enabled. A system reload is not required.
With a 4-port capacity license, you can choose to enable any two groups out of the three groups.
For example, if you want to enable the ports in group 3, but you have already enabled the ports in
group 1 and group 2, you must first disable the ports in group 1 or group 2. If you do not disable
the ports in group 1 or group 2, the following error message displays on the CLI.
Error: 40G PoD license capacity has been exceeded
The error message implies that you have exceeded the license capacity for this unit. To enable
ports in group 3, perform the following steps.
