Software licensing
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 your
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 devices, the license unlocks the licensed feature and it becomes available immediately. There
is no need to reload the software.
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
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 27.
License types
The following license types are supported on the devices:
•
Application-related - Enables premium or advanced features on the device.
•
Permanent licenses - A permanent license (also referred to as a chassis-wide license) has no expiration date and is locked to a
single switch identified by the switch license ID. The switch license ID is initially the same as the switch World Wide Name
(WWN). The switch WWN may change through configuration changes on the product, but the switch license ID remains
unchanged.
•
Trial/Temporary licenses - A temporary license (also known as a time-based 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.
•
Non-node locked license - This license enables the licensed features prior to obtaining a license file. Refer to Non-Node Locked
Licensing on page 57 for details.
Software licensing terminology
The following terms are used in this document:
•
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 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:
–
14
Paperpack - The transaction key is recorded on an entitlement certificate, which is mailed to the customer.
FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.30
53-1003631-05
Licensing rules
–
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
The following licensing rules apply to all 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.
NOTE
However, a non-node locked license can be moved from one device and redeployed to another device within the same product
platform.
•
More than one license can be installed per device concurrently.
•
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, ICX 6610, and ICX 6450 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-ADV-LIC-SW license is used as an example.
NOTE
Beginning with FastIron release 08.0.30, the advance L3 features for ICX 6610 are available with the ICX 6610 premium
license. For details, see the FastIron licensed features and software section (Appendix A).
NOTE
For FCX devices running any version of FastIron, and for ICX 6610 devices running FastIron releases prior to 08.0.30, 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. 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.
NOTE
To enable the VRF-Lite feature on an ICX 6610 device, an Advanced Layer 3 license is required. For a list of supported
features on an ICX 6610 device, see the FastIron licensed features and software section (Appendix A).
•
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
FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.30
53-1003631-05
15
Software portal tasks
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 nonoperational 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 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.
Licensing rules for ICX 7450 and ICX 7250 devices
Non-node locked licensing features can be activated prior to obtaining a valid license, based on an agreement to obtain a license. A nonnode locked license is not tied to the LID of the Brocade device for which the license was ordered and generated.

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.
FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.30
53-1003631-05
23
Installing a license file
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.
The scp license_file_on_hostuser @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.
24
FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.30
53-1003631-05
Deleting a license file
Syntax: scp license_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 28.
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.
NOTE
Non-node locked licenses can be removed and reinstalled on another unit without interaction with the Brocade software portal.
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
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 28.
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 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 ]
FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.30
53-1003631-05
25
Using a trial license
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 ICX-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 7250 devices, if more than one non-node locked license file is installed, the deletion of the license file sequence should start
from the software license file identified by index 1. If this is not done, any attempt to delete the license file returns an error
141(LICENSE_IN_USE).

Use the all option to delete all license files for a specific unit.
device# license delete unit 1 all
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 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.

Special replacement instructions for legacy devices
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
1 00:00:00 624-top License: Package FSX624-L3U-IPV6 with LID NFLXXXX has expired
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. You must remove the first license
before installing the second license. An error message (BETTER_LICENSE_EXISTS) displays if you attempt to add the second license
before removing the first license. 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
Depending on the type of license (non-node locked or node locked), licenses can be transferred from one Brocade device to another
Brocade device.
You can transfer a non-node locked license without assistance from Brocade technical staff (this type of license is not locked to a device).
Non-node locked licensing is supported by any new Brocade Ethernet IP switch, including ICX 7450 or ICX 7250 devices.
NOTE
To transfer a non-node locked license, you must disable the feature associated with the license before you transfer the license to
another device.
If you need to transfer a node-locked license, contact your Brocade representative for more information.
NOTE
Only the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) can perform a transfer of a node-locked license.
Regardless of the type of license (non-node locked or node locked), 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, 08.0.30
53-1003631-05
27
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.

Overview of Ports on Demand (PoD) licensing
NOTE
Licensing for Ports on Demand is applicable to ICX 6610, ICX 6450, ICX 6650, and ICX 7250 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 10 Gbps PoD licenses, the ICX 6610 device does not support a trial license along with a permanent license at the same
time 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 ports 2 and 4 to 10 Gbps port speed, refer to Configuration considerations when configuring PoD for ICX 6450 devices only
on page 41.
The PoD feature is not applicable to ICX 6430 devices because there are no 10 Gbps ports on the device.
For more information
For details on PoD feature for specific devices, see:
•
Ports on Demand licensing on the ICX 6650 on page 43
•
Ports on Demand Licensing on the ICX 7250 on page 50
Configuring PoD on an interface
NOTE
Configuring PoD on an interface is supported on the ICX 6610, ICX 6450, ICX 6650, and ICX 7250 ports when upgrading to
10 Gbps port speed.
To upgrade the 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 24.
FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.30
53-1003631-05
35
Configuring the upper PoD ports in a stack for ICX 6610 devices only
2.
Insert the 10 Gbps optic transceiver.
3.
Enter the speed-duplex 10g-full command on a single, multiple, or interface range on the ICX 6610 and ICX 7250 devices
only. The following example output is from an ICX 6610 device.
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/3/1
device(config-if-e10000-1/3/1)# speed-duplex 10g-full
NOTE
For ICX 6450 devices, you do not need to enter the speed-duplex 10g-full command. Ports 2 and 4 are UP after
you insert the 10 Gbps optic transceiver.
NOTE
For ICX 6650 devices, you do not need to enter the speed-duplex 10g-full command. For more information on PoD
licensing for the ICX 6650 devices, refer to Ports on Demand licensing on the ICX 6650 on page 43.
4.
Enter the write memory command to save the configuration. The ports are automatically configured to 10 Gbps speed
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.
On the ICX 6610 and ICX 7250 devices, 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.
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 speedduplex 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.
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
36
FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.30
53-1003631-05
Displaying license configuration for PoD ports after a license upgrade
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.

Upgrading or downgrading configuration considerations for PoD
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 or ICX 6450 devices:
•
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
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
40

Upgrading or downgrading configuration considerations for PoD
•
If you delete the license from the stack, the port runs in 10 Gbps mode until the switch is reloaded. If the speed-duplex 10gfull 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

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 Configuration
considerations when configuring PoD on an interface on page 40 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 speed-duplex 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.

Upgrading or downgrading configuration considerations for PoD
•
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.

Configuration considerations when configuring PoD for ICX 6650 devices
only
Consider the following when configuring PoD for ICX 6650 devices:
•
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

Disabling the FPoD ports on the rear panel
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). With a 4port capacity license, you can choose to enable any two groups out of the three groups.
Perform the following steps to disable FPoD ports in one group out of three groups.
Disable ports in a group.
Brocade(config)# no fpod-40g-enable group 1
Use the fpod-40g-enable group group-id command to enable ports. A system reload is not required.
Syntax: [no] fpod-40g-enable group group-id
With a 4-port capacity license, you can choose to enable any two groups out of the three groups. If the ports in two groups (group 1 or
group 2) are already enabled, you must disable either group 1 or group 2 before enabling the ports in the third group (group 3). The
following example shows that group 1 is disabled and group 3 is enabled.

Ports on Demand Licensing on the ICX 7250
The ICX 7250 device has 8 ports (ports 1/2/1 through 1/2/8) that can be upgraded to 10Gbps port speed. To upgrade the ports, you
must purchase one or more PoD licenses for this device.
The number of licenses you need varies depending on how many ports you want to upgrade. The license requirements are:
50
•
To upgrade the 2 default stacking ports (port number 1/2/1 and 1/2/3): You need the 2 port capacity PoD license, part
number ICX7250-2X10G-LIC-POD.
•
To upgrade the 8 PoD ports (ports number 1/2/1 through 1/2/8): You need the 2 port capacity PoD license and the 8 port
capacity PoD license, part number ICX7250-8X10G-LIC-POD.
•
NOTE
Although the ICX7250-8X10G-LIC-POD license is referred to as an 8 port capacity license, it cannot be used by
itself to upgrade all 8 ports to 10Gbps. The 8 port capacity license enables you to upgrade the 6 remaining ports on
the device to 10Gbps port speed. To upgrade all 8 ports to 10Gbps, you must first install the 2 port capacity PoD
license, then install the 8 port capacity license.
FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.30
53-1003631-05
Ports on Demand Licensing on the ICX 7250
The upgrade process
If you are installing the 8 port capacity license and you do not have the 2 port capacity license already installed, you must complete the
upgrade process twice (once to install the 2 port capacity license, and the second time to install the 8 capacity license).
NOTE
The software portal checks the unit record to make sure the 2 port capacity license is already installed. You cannot activate the 8
port capacity license unless the 2 port capacity license is already installed on the device.
To upgrade process involves the following basic steps:
1. Login to the Brocade portal to generate and obtain the license file you need.
2. Upgrade the ports to 10Gbps port speed (refer to Configuring PoD on an interface on page 35 for the steps to complete the
upgrade).
NOTE
At initial boot-up, the running configuration displays the ports at speed-duplex 1000full.
3. After you install the license, use the show license command to confirm that the license was correctly installed. The output from the
show license command shows the license capacity (Lic Capacity field), and the license name as ICX7250-10G-LIC-POD (Lic Name
field).
If the execution of the speed-duplex 10g-full command fails because of a licensing issue, one or more syslog messages are
automatically generated. A licensing issue can occur because:
•
No license is installed on the device.
•
You have incorrectly installed a license that is not tied to the LID of the device.
The following example shows the output from a device with the 8 port capacity version of the PoD license.
•
A syslog is generated informing you about the failure. For example:
SYSLOG: <14>Jul 31 00:33:46 10.20.147.22 PoD: No license present for port 1/2/1.
•
A system message made up of individual syslog errors is generated that gives details about each port. For example:
ICX7250-48 Router(config-if-e10000-1/2/1)#speed-duplex 10g-full
PoD: No license present for port 1/2/1
SYSLOG: <14>Jul 29 07:20:47 PoD: No license present for port 1/2/1
ICX7250-48 Router(config-if-e10000-1/2/1)#
If you delete a PoD license (either the 2 or 8 port capacity license), the affected ports continue working in 10G mode until you reload the
box. When you reload the box, the ports are returned to 1Gbps port speed. For more information about deleting a license, refer to
Deleting a license on ICX devices on page 25.
For information on the different licenses that are supported on the ICX 7250 device, refer to ICX 7250 Licensed Features on page 75.

MACSec Key-Based Licensing

How MACsec works......................................................................................................................................................................................... 53
MACSec licensing............................................................................................................................................................................................. 53
How MACsec works
MACsec capabilities prevent Layer 2 security threats, such as passive wiretapping, denial of service, intrusion, man-in-the-middle, and
playback attacks.
MACsec protects communications using several configurable techniques. Data origin is authenticated and data is transported over
secured channels. Frames are validated as MACsec Ethernet frames. The integrity of frame content is verified on receipt. Frame
sequence is monitored using an independent replay protection counter. Invalid frames are discarded or monitored.
Data traffic carried within the MACsec frame is encrypted and decrypted using an industry-standard cipher suite.
MACSec licensing
Devices that support MACSec functionality can be enabled for MACSec by purchasing a MACSec license. This license is available for the
ICX 6610 and ICX 7450 devices.
There is no license capacity and no trial license associated with this license. The MACSec license works independently of Premium,
Advance, or PoD licenses already installed on Brocade devices. You can obtain this license from the Brocade software portal. The
MACSec license is a node-locked license, and is required per device. In a stacking system, the MACSec license is required only for the
specific units in the stacking system that enable MACSec and use the encryption capabilities at the port level. This license is not required
for other units within the stacking system that do not enable MACSec.
The MACSec feature-related CLI commands are not controlled by the MACSec license. The MACSec preconfiguration commands and
enabling commands are visible and available without a MACSec license. However, a valid MACSec license is required to execute the
command to enable MACSec encryption at the port level on that device. When you enter the CLI command to enable MACSec at the
port level without a MACSec license, the command does not execute, and an error message is displayed. The command enables the
MACSec encryption capability on that port only when a valid MACSec license is installed on the device.

MACSec licensing
Enabling and configuring group interfaces for MACsec
After MACsec is enabled for the device, each MACsec interface must be individually enabled, and a configured group of parameters
must be applied.
1.
To enable MACsec, at the dot1x-mka configuration level, enter the enable-mka ethernet command, and specify the interface as
device/slot/port.
In the following example, Ethernet port 2 on slot 3 of device 1 is enabled for MACsec security.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# dot1x-mka
device(config-dot1x-mka)# mka-cfg-group test1
device (config-dot1x-mka)# enable-mka ethernet 1/3/2
device(config-dot1x-mka-1/3/2)#
NOTE
The following output is displayed if there is no MACsec license present on the device.
device(config-dot1x-mka)# enable-mka ethernet 1/3/2
Error: No MACsec License available for the port 1/3/2. Cannot enable MACsec !!!
Error: MKA cannot be enabled on port 1/3/2
2.
At the dot1x-mka interface configuration level, enter the mka-cfg-group command, and specify the MKA group configuration
to apply to the interface.
In the following example, MACsec options configured for group test1 are applied to the enabled interface.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# dot1x-mka
device(config-dot1x-mka)# mka-cfg-group test1
device (config-dot1x-mka)# enable-mka ethernet 1/3/2
device(config-dot1x-mka-1/3/2)# mka-cfg-group test1

Non-node locked licensing
Non-node locked licensing enables the licensed features prior to obtaining a license file.
The device can use a licensed feature without a license for up to 30 days. After 30 days the device console displays syslog messages
and traps, reminding you that a license must be installed. Once a valid license is installed, the syslog messages stop.
A non-node locked license is applicable to a product platform. The license can be moved from one device and redeployed to another
device within the same product platform. The non-node locked license is not specific to a device, unlike a node locked license for which
the LID is associated with each device. Non-node locked licenses do not require an activation process and can be installed as received
from Brocade.
You can now enable non-node locked licensed features prior to purchasing the license. The licenses are fulfilled directly, without the need
for an transaction key and activation process, which dramatically simplifies the deployment process.
NOTE
Non-node locked licensing is available for the ICX 7450 and ICX 7250 devices. Installation of the same non-node locked
license on multiple units is prohibited.
NOTE
Brocade recommends that you configure the correct system clock, date and time before enabling any of the non-node locked
premium features.
Obtaining a non-node locked license
A non-node locked license can be obtained by submitting a request to Brocade using a purchase order.
To obtain a non-node license, follow these steps.
1.
Submit a request to obtain a license per the End User License Agreement (EULA). For more information about the EULA, refer
to License messaging on page 59.
2.
Place a purchase order with Brocade order management.
3.
Retrieve the license file from the email attachment and follow the instructions provided in the email to install the license.
4.
Upload the license file to the Brocade device as instructed in Installing a license file on page 23. The license is ready to install as
is.
5.
Verify that the license is installed correctly. For more information on verifying the license, refer to Viewing non-node locked
license information on page 61.

License messaging
License installation and deletion
Non-node locked licenses are installed or deleted in the same way as node-locked licenses on the ICX devices.
You can either copy a license using either TFTP directly, or through SCP to each device individually. Similarly, you can use the license
deletion commands to delete a non-node locked license.
Refer Using TFTP to copy a license file on FCX and ICX devices on page 24 to install a non-node locked license. For non-node locked
license deletion, refer Deleting a license on ICX devices on page 25.
License messaging
The device console displays log messages, syslog messages and traps if a valid non-node locked license is not installed.
Once you install a valid license, the messages stop. The device will also echo out the End User License Agreement (EULA) link that you
must accept to enable features. The various scenarios for the non-node locked licensing syslog and trap messages are described in the
following table.

the EULA.
NOTE
The syslog for case 2 and 3 may trigger duplicate compliance messages during scenarios like failover, switchover or reboot.
License messaging in a stacking system
The stack election of a member unit joining or leaving a stack does not get impacted by the existence of a non-node locked license. The
features can be enabled without a license on one or more units on a stacking system.
NOTE
Configuring the NTP server is a suggested option for a standalone or stacking
system.
When one of the features is enabled in the stacking system, the member unit will be in an operational state even if the unit does not have
a valid non-node locked license. The operational state of the member unit does not depend on whether or not this unit has a license.
Member unit with license
If a member unit with a license joins the stacking system, none of the messages described in the License messaging on page 59 are
displayed. But if the user deletes the license from that unit, then the daily message will be displayed if one of the features is enabled on
this stacking system.
Member unit without license
In a stacking system, if a member unit without license joins the stack, and the stacking is operating normally, a Case 2 message
described in License messaging on page 59 displays if one of the features is enabled on this system. The messages will stop if the
license is installed on that unit.

Gbps ports to 10 Gbps port
speed, use the
ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD
license. By default, 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 ICX6610-10GLIC-POD license.
ICX 6610 - MACSec
license
The MACSec license can be
purchased for any ICX
6610 device. MACSec
capability can be enabled
for any 10 Gbps port on a
licensed device.
MACsec uses MACsec Key
