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.
