Upgrading or downgrading configuration considerations for PoD
4
For a description of the fields in the show pod and show pod [unit id] command outputs, refer to
Table 20 on page 128.
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
