Ports on Demand licensing
The Brocade ICX 6650 features Ports on Demand licensing. With Ports on Demand licensing, software
features do not require licenses and you can add port licenses as needed.
A fully populated device supports 56 front-panel, dual-speed 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports, 4 rear-panel 40
GbE QSFP+ ports, and 2 rear-panel 4x10 GbE QSFP+ breakout ports.
You can purchase and install Ports on Demand licenses in blocks of eight dual-speed 1/10 GbE SFP+
on the front-panel ports. These ports are grouped sequentially, enabling ports 33 through 40, 41
through 48, and 49 through 56. To enable the additional front-panel ports, you must purchase and
install an ICX6650-8P10G-LIC-POD license.
