Output from the show pod command TABLE 7
Field Description
Unit-Id The unit ID number of the PoD.
PoD license capacity The port capacity of the PoD license (10 GbE or 40 GbE license) that is purchased.
The PoD 10 GbE license consists of an 8-, 16-, or 24-port capacity license. The PoD
40 GbE license consists of a 2-, 4-, or 6-port capacity license.
PoD license capacity
used The port capacity of the PoD license (10 GbE or 40 GbE license) that is in use by the
port. The PoD 10 GbE license consists of an 8-, 16-, or 24-port capacity license. The
PoD 40 GbE license consists of a 2-, 4-, or 6-port capacity license.
PoD-ports The list of PoD ports in the PoD unit.
Lic-Available Whether the license is available for the port.
Lic-Used Whether the license is used by the port.
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 orICX 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.
