How software licensing works
Software licensing provides increased scalability and rapid deployment of hardware and software features on the supported Brocade
family of switches. One or more valid software licenses are required to run licensed features on the device.
A permanent license (for select features on specic units) can be ordered pre-installed in a Brocade device when rst 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 certicate 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 le, which is downloaded to your
PC, where the le 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.
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 identied 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 conguration 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 le. Refer to Non-Node Locked
Licensing on page 33 for details.

Software licensing terminology
The following terms are used in this document:
Entitlement certicate—The proof-of-purchase certicate (paperpack or e-license) issued by Brocade when a license is
purchased. The certicate 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 le—The le produced by the Brocade software portal when the license is generated. The le is uploaded to the
Brocade device and controls access to a licensed feature or feature set.
License ID (LID)—The identication number that uniquely identies 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.
NOTE
The License ID is not applicable for non-node locked licenses.
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
specied when the order is placed:
PaperpackThe transaction key is recorded on an entitlement certicate, which is mailed to the customer.
ElectronicThe 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 specied 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 xed conguration 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 eect 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.
Software licensing terminology
Brocade FastIron Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.60
12 53-1004922-02
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 non-
node locked license is not tied to the LID of the Brocade device for which the license was ordered and generated.
NOTE
Trial licenses are not supported on Brocade ICX 7450 and Brocade ICX 7250 devices.
ICX 7750 Certicate of Entitlement
The Brocade ICX 7750 base system ships with a Certicate of Entitlement (CoE). You must purchase the CoE (ICX7750-L3-COE) to
use the full base Layer 3 Premium feature set and functionality.
You do not need to load a license onto the switch to use the full Layer 3 Premium feature set. The purchase of the CoE gives entitlement
for the use of the full feature set and functionality. The CoE can be transferred between switches. You must rst disable the features on
the switch you want to transfer the CoE to. Once the features are disabled, you can transfer the CoE to the switch.

Installing a license using TFTP
The following procedure shows how to download a license le from a TFTP server and install the license on a device.
Obtain the license le from Brocade. After obtaining a license, use the following commands to install and verify the license installation.
1. Use TFTP to copy the license le from a TFTP server to the license database of the Brocade device.
device# copy tftp license 10.120.54.185 lic.xml
For units that are part of a stack, you can copy a license le from the active unit to all other member units without having to
physically disable the stack to install a license for each unit.
2. Use the show license command to verify that the license is installed on the device.
device# show license
Idx Lic Mode Lic Name Lid/Serial L/Type Status L/Period LCap
Stack unit 1:
1 Non-Node Lock ICX7450-PREM-LIC-SW EN0E5FDBC90 Normal Active Unlimited 1
Stack unit 2:
1 Non-Node Lock ICX7450-PREM-LIC-SW EN0DD67E7C0 Normal Active Unlimited 1
Note that we have had to condense some column names in the output to keep the output from breaking across lines. For
example, Idx is Index, L/Type is License Type, and LCap is License Capacity.
The following example shows how to install a license in a Campus Fabric (SPX) system.

Installing a license using Secure Copy
Download a license le from an SCP-enabled client to the license database and install the license.
Obtain the license le from Brocade.
SSH and Secure Copy (SCP) must be enabled on the device before this task can be performed.
After obtaining a license, use the following commands to install and verify the license installation.
1. Use Secure Copy to copy the license le from an SCP-enabled client to the license database of the Brocade device.
device# scp license.xml marketing@10.20.91.39:license
For units that are part of a stack, you can copy a license le from the active unit to all other member units without having to
physically disable the stack to install a license for each unit.

Viewing the license ID
Brocade devices that ship during and after the release of software licensing have the license ID (LID) imprinted on the label axed to the
device. You can use the show version command as well to view the LID on these devices, and on devices that shipped before the release
of software licensing.
Use the show version command to verify the serial number, software and hardware license package name, and LID of all units in the
device. The following example is sample output from an ICX unit with the ICX7450_L3_SOFT_PACKAGE package installed on unit 1.

Deleting a license le
A license remains in the license database until it is deleted. If you want to delete a license, Brocade recommends that you rst 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 rst. The trial license should be deleted rst, 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 ICX devices
To delete all license les for a specic unit, enter the following command at the privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
device# license delete unit 3 all
To delete a specic license le 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 species the unit ID number.
The all option allows you to delete all license les for a specic unit.
The index license_index parameter species the software license le, and is generated by the member unit. The license index number is
the license le 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 specic 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 specic unit.
In the ICX 7250 devices, if more than one non-node locked license le is installed, the deletion of the license le sequence should start
from the software license le identied by index 1. If this is not done, any attempt to delete the license le returns an error
141(LICENSE_IN_USE).

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 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).
A license transfer is intended for retrieving licenses from defective units. The licenses are removed from the defective unit in the database
and the unit is agged as removed from service. Transferring a license is only available within Brocade, and externally for designated
partners with specic accounts in the Brocade software portal. Contact your Brocade representatives for more information.
You can transfer a non-node locked license without assistance from Brocade technical sta (this type of license is not locked to a device).
Non-node locked licensing is supported only on the specic product families of the Brocade Ethernet IP switches. For example, you
cannot install a non-node locked license of an ICX 7450 to an ICX 7250 device. To transfer a non-node locked license, you must
disable the feature associated with the license before you transfer the license to another device. Only the Technical Assistance Center
(TAC) can perform a transfer of a node-locked license.
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 licensing
NOTE
Licensing for Ports on Demand is applicable to Brocade ICX 7250 devices.
You can use the Ports on Demand (PoD) feature to enable 1-Gbps ports to 10-Gbps speed.
Ports on Demand licensing on the Brocade ICX 7250
The ICX 7250 device has eight ports (ports 1/2/1 through 1/2/8) that can be upgraded to 10-Gbps speed. To upgrade the ports, you
must purchase one or more PoD licenses for this device.
The number of licenses that you need depends on the number of ports that you want to upgrade. The license requirements are:
To upgrade the two default stacking ports (port numbers 1/2/1 and 1/2/3): You need the 2-port capacity PoD license, part
number ICX7250-2X10G-LIC-POD.
To upgrade the eight PoD ports (ports numbers 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.
Multiple 2-port 10G PoD licenses (ICX7250-2X10G-LIC-POD) cannot be installed on the Brocade ICX 7250. The only
permitted combination is 1 x 2X10G with 1 x 8X10G.
Brocade FastIron Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.60
53-1004922-02 27
FIGURE 7 ICX 7250 10G PoD licenses
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 10 Gbps. The 8-port capacity license enables you to upgrade the 6 remaining ports on the device to 10-
Gbps speed. To upgrade all 8 ports to 10 Gbps, you must rst install the 2-port capacity PoD license, and then install the 8-
port capacity license.
The upgrade process
If you are installing the 8-port capacity license and you have not already installed the 2-port capacity license, you must complete the
upgrade process twice (once to install the 2-port capacity license and again to install the 8-port capacity license).
NOTE
The software portal checks the unit record to make sure that 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.
The upgrade process involves the following basic steps:
1. Log in to the Brocade portal to generate and obtain the license le that you need.
2. Upgrade the ports to 10-Gbps speed (refer to Conguring PoD on an interface on page 29 for the steps to complete the upgrade).
NOTE
When the device boots up the running conguration displays the ports at speed-duplex 1000-
full.
3. After you install the license, use the show license command to conrm that the license was installed correctly. The command output
shows the license capacity (Lic Capacity eld), and the license name as ICX7250-10G-LIC-POD (Lic Name eld).
If issuing 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.
Ports on Demand licensing on the Brocade ICX 7250
Brocade FastIron Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.60
28 53-1004922-02
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 aected ports continue working in 10G mode until you reload
the device. When you reload the device, the ports are returned to 1-Gbps speed. For more information about deleting a license, refer to
Deleting a license on ICX devices on page 25.
For information on the dierent licenses that are supported on the ICX 7250, refer to Brocade ICX 7250 licensed features on page
44.
Conguring PoD on an interface
NOTE
Conguring PoD on an interface is supported on the ICX 7250 ports when upgrading to 10-Gbps
speed.
To upgrade the ports from 1-Gbps to 10-Gbps speed, perform the following steps.
1. Download the PoD license to the device. For more information about copying the license le on ICX devices, refer to Installing a
license using TFTP on page 21.
2. Insert the 10-Gbps optic transceiver.
3. Enter the speed-duplex 10g-full command on a single interface, multiple interfaces, or an interface range on the ICX 7250.
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/2/2
device(config-if-e10000-1/2/2)# speed-duplex 10g-full
4. Enter the write memory command to save the conguration. The ports are automatically congured to 10-Gbps speed.
Syntax: no speed-duplex [ 10g-full | 1000-full-master ]
The 10g-full keyword allows you to enable the port speed to 10-Gbps.
The 1000-full-master keyword allows you to enable the port speed to 1-Gbps.
On the ICX 7250, if you enable the port to 10-Gbps speed and then issue the no speed-duplex command, the port continues
to run at 10-Gbps speed. When the device boots, the port reverts to 1-Gbps speed.
Displaying the license conguration for PoD ports
after a license upgrade
The show pod command is used to display the license conguration for PoD ports in a stack after a license upgrade on the ICX 7250.

Campus Fabric Licensing on the Brocade ICX 7250
Brocade ICX 7250 devices congured as port extender (PE) units require the PoD license.
In Campus Fabric (802.1BR or SPX), the ICX 7750 is congured as the 802.1BR control bridge, and the ICX 7450 and ICX 7250 are
congured as PE units. To connect to a control bridge over a 10-Gbps SPX link, the ICX 7250 must have a 10-Gbps PoD license
installed. For information about PoD licensing on the ICX 7250, refer to Ports on Demand licensing on the Brocade ICX 7250 on page
27. In an SPX system, the PoD license is required only on the ICX 7250 PE unit. The SPX system supports copying a license le to the
ICX 7250 on the control bridge through TFTP or SCP. From the control bridge (ICX 7750 active unit), copy the ICX 7250 license le to
the ICX 7250 PE unit. To view an example conguration of copying a license le using TFTP, refer to Installing a license using TFTP on
page 21. To copy a license le using SCP, refer to Installing a license using Secure Copy on page 21.

MACSec Key-Based Licensing
How MACsec works.........................................................................................................................................................................................31
MACSec licensing............................................................................................................................................................................................. 31
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 congurable 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 veried on receipt. Frame
sequence is monitored using an independent replay protection counter. Invalid frames are discarded or monitored.
Data trac 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 7450 device.
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
specic 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 preconguration 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.
Brocade FastIron Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.60
53-1004922-02 31
Enabling and conguring group interfaces for MACsec
After MACsec is enabled for the device, each MACsec interface must be individually enabled, and a congured group of parameters
must be applied.
1. To enable MACsec, at the dot1x-mka conguration level, enter the enable-mka ethernet command, and specify the interface as
device/slot/port.
In the following example, Ethernet port 2 on slot 2 of device 1 is enabled for MACsec security.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# dot1x-mka

Non-node locked licensing
Non-node locked licensing enables the licensed features prior to obtaining a license le.
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 specic 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 fullled directly, without the need
for an transaction key and activation process, which dramatically simplies 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 congure 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 locked 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 34.
2. Place a purchase order with Brocade order management.
3. Retrieve the license le from the email attachment and follow the instructions provided in the email to install the license.
4. Upload the license le to the Brocade device as instructed in Installing a license using TFTP on page 21 or Installing a license
using Secure Copy on page 21. 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 36.
Brocade FastIron Software Licensing Guide, 08.0.60
53-1004922-02 33
Recovering a lost non-node locked license
If you misplace or lose the license, contact your Brocade representative for further assistance.
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 Installing a license using TFTP on page 21 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 license has been deleted. If the premium
license features are still active, an assertive
message (Case 3 message) will be
displayed, followed by every 24 hours to
notify the customer that they are out of
compliance to the terms and conditions of
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
Conguring 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 34 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 34 displays if one of the features is enabled on this system. The messages will stop if the
license is installed on that unit.

Overview of licensing on the Ruckus ICX 7150
The license install command allows you to upgrade or downgrade to a licensed feature set using one command. The license install
command is available only on the Ruckus ICX 7150. The license install command replaces the licensing commands for installing or
deleting a license. For example, you no longer need to install a license using TFTP or SCP, or to delete a license using the license delete
command.
The following table displays Ruckus ICX 7150 part number and license information available when upgrading to a licensed feature set.
The licensed feature set includes the Premium Layer 3 license, and the Ports on Demand license. When upgrading to a licensed feature
set, a Certicate of Entitlement (CoE) is shipped to you upon purchase of the license. The CoE is a “proof of purchase” for any features
that have been purchased. The CoE is a .PDF certicate that has a unique serial number. One CoE is issued for each feature license that
is purchased.

Conguring PoD on the Ruckus ICX 7150
NOTE
Conguring PoD is supported on the Ruckus ICX 7150 ports when upgrading to 10-Gbps
speed.
To upgrade the ports from 1-Gbps to 10-Gbps speed, perform the following steps.
1. Insert the 10-Gbps optic transceiver.
2. Enter the speed-duplex 10g-full command on a single interface, multiple interfaces, or an interface range on the Ruckus ICX
7150.
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/3/1
device(config-if-e10000-1/3/1)# speed-duplex 10g-full
3. Enter the write memory command to save the conguration. The ports are automatically congured to 10-Gbps speed.
device(config-if-e10000-1/3/1)# write memory
On the Ruckus ICX 7150, if you enable the port to 10-Gbps speed and then issue the no speed-duplex command, the port
continues to run at 10-Gbps speed. When the device boots, the port reverts to 1-Gbps speed.
If the speed-duplex 10g-full command fails, a syslog message is generated and displayed. The command fails because there
is no license available for the port. The following is a syslog message 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 1/3/1.
