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 7 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 FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide 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 10 FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide 53-1003091-02 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 portal This section describes other software licensing tasks supported from the Brocade software portal. You can use the License Query option to view software license information for a particular unit, transaction key, or both. You can export the report to Excel for sharing or archiving purposes. Depending on the status of the license (for example, whether or not the license was generated), the report will include the following Information: • • • • • • • Hardware part number, serial number, and description Software part number, serial number, and description Date the license was installed Transaction key LID Feature name Product line To view the license information, from License Management menu, select Brocade IP/ADP > License Query The IP/ADP Unit License Query window appears.

FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide 53-1003091-02 17 Installing a license file 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. 18 FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide 53-1003091-02 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 21 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. Syslog messages and trap information The following table lists the syslog messages and traps that are supported for software licensing.

TABLE 5 Supported software PoD licensing features Feature FSX 800 FSX 1600 FCX ICX 6610 ICX 6450 ICX 6650 ICX 7750 PoD licensing No No Yes Yes Yes No License generation No No Yes Yes Yes No License query No No Yes Yes Yes No Deleting a license No Yes Yes Yes No No 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 FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide 53-1003091-02 31 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. 32 FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide 53-1003091-02 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.

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. FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide 53-1003091-02 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 10GigabitEthernet3/2/2 is ERR-DISABLED (invalid license), line protocol is down Hardware is 10GigabitEthernet, address is 0000.0083.01fa (bia 0000.0083.01fa) Configured speed 10Gbit, actual unknown, configured duplex fdx, actual unknown Stacking Port, port state is DISABLED BPDU guard is Disabled, ROOT protect is Disabled Link Error Dampening is Disabled STP configured to ON, priority is level0, mac-learning is enabled Flow Control is enabled Mirror disabled, Monitor disabled Not member of any active trunks Not member of any configured trunks No port name Once the correct license is installed, the port displays the state as up as shown in the following example output. device#show interface ethernet 3/2/2 10GigabitEthernet6/2/2 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is 10GigabitEthernet, address is 0000.0082.f872 (bia 0000.0082.f872) Configured speed 10Gbit, actual 10Gbit, configured duplex fdx, actual fdx Stacking Port, port state is FORWARDING BPDU guard is Disabled, ROOT protect is Disabled Link Error Dampening is Disabled FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide 53-1003091-02 37 Configuration considerations when configuring PoD for ICX 6450 devices only STP configured to ON, priority is level0, mac-learning is enabled Flow Control is enabled Mirror disabled, Monitor disabled Not member of any active trunks Not member of any configured trunks No port name Configuration considerations when configuring PoD for ICX 6450 devices only Consider the following when configuring PoD for ICX 6450 devices only: • • • • 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. device#show interface ethernet 1/2/4 10GigabitEthernet1/2/4 is ERR-DISABLED (Reload the switch or stack to enable this port in 10G speed), line protocol is down Hardware is 10GigabitEthernet, address is 0000.0082.e39c (bia 0000.0082.e39c) Configured speed 10Gbit, actual unknown, configured duplex fdx, actual unknown Member of L2 VLAN ID 1, port is untagged, port state is DISABLED BPDU guard is Disabled, ROOT protect is Disabled Link Error Dampening is Disabled STP configured to ON, priority is level0, mac-learning is enabled Flow Control is enabled Mirror disabled, Monitor disabled Not member of any active trunks Not member of any configured trunks No port name MTU 1500 bytes 300 second input rate: 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec, 0.00% utilization 300 second output rate: 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec, 0.00% utilization 0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer Received 0 broadcasts, 0 multicasts, 0 unicasts 0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 ignored 0 runts, 0 giants 0 packets output, 0 bytes, 0 underruns Transmitted 0 broadcasts, 0 multicasts, 0 unicasts 0 output errors, 0 collisions Relay Agent Information option: Disabled Configuration considerations when configuring PoD for ICX 6650 devices only Consider the following when configuring PoD for ICX 6650 devices: 38 FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide 53-1003091-02 Licensing for Ports on Demand • • • 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. device#show interface ethernet 1/1/33 10GigabitEthernet1/1/33 is ERR-DISABLED (invalid license), line protocol is down Hardware is 10GigabitEthernet, address is 748e.f80c.5f40(bia 748e.f80c.5f40) Interface type is unknown Configured speed 10Gbit, actual unknown, configured duplex fdx, actual unknown Member of L2 VLAN ID 1, port is untagged, port state is DISABLED BPDU guard is Disabled, ROOT protect is Disabled Link Error Dampening is Disabled STP configured to ON, priority is level0, mac-learning is enabled Flow Control is enabled Mirror disabled, Monitor disabled Not member of any active trunks Not member of any configured trunks No port name A port is in a down state when there is no physical link between two devices, and a license is installed in the device.

To copy the file from an SCP-enabled client to the license database of a specific unit, enter the following command. In the example, the license is copied to unit 1. scp license.xml terry@10.20.91.39:license:1 scp license_file_on_host user@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 is 1. 4. Insert the 40 GbE QSFP optical transceiver for ports 1/2/1 through 1/2/4. 5. Insert the QSFP to 4 SFP+ copper breakout cable or the breakout-capable QSFP+ optical transceiver for ports 1/3/1 through 1/3/8. 6. Enter the following command. Brocade(config)# fpod-40g-enable group 1 Brocade(config)# fpod-40g-enable group 2 Syntax: [no] fpod-40g-enable group groupID Enter one of the following values for groupID: • • • 1 = Ports 1/2/1 - 1/2/2 2 = Ports 1/2/3 - 1/2/4 3 = Ports 1/3/1 - 1/3/8 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. 44 FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide 53-1003091-02 Licensing for Ports on Demand a) Disable ports in group 1 or 2. Brocade(config)# no fpod-40g-enable group 2 b) Enable ports in group 3. c) Use the show pod command to display configuration information for the groups enabled as shown in the following example output.
