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
• When the speed-duplex 10g-full command is configured for a port or multiple ports on an
interface, and there is no license or an insufficient license in the stack upon bootup or hot swap of a
stack unit, the port is configured to 10 Gbps port speed. However, the port is in
ERROR_DISABLED state until you install the correct license in the stack. A syslog message is
generated every 30 seconds stating that the license is not present on the port. The error disable
recovery timer checks every 30 seconds to see if the correct license is installed in the stack. Once
the correct license is installed, the port is automatically enabled to operate at 10 Gbps port speed
on the next cycle of the timer. You can also enable the port manually to operate at 10 Gbps port
speed once the correct license is installed.
• In a stack, the speed-duplex 10g-full command is rejected on the primary port if all ports in a trunk
do not have the correct license installed to upgrade to 10 Gbps port speed. The following error
message is displayed.
Error:Not enough 10Gig License present for all the ports in trunk
• If you delete the license from the stack, the port runs in 10 Gbps mode until the switch is reloaded.
If the speed-duplex 10g-full command is entered, the following syslog message is displayed.
SYSLOG: <14>Jul 31 00:33:46 10.20.147.22 PoD: No license present for port 1/3/3".
• The show interface ethernet command can be used to display the configuration for a disabled 10
Gbps interface port, or a range of port interfaces after bootup for both ICX 6610 and ICX 6450
devices. The show interface ethernet command displays the port in the ERROR_DISABLED
state. The following example output is from an ICX 6450 device.
device#show interface ethernet 3/2/2
10GigabitEthernet3/2/2 is ERR-DISABLED (invalid license), line protocol is
down
Hardware is 10GigabitEthernet, address is 0000.0083.01fa (bia
0000.0083.01fa)
Configured speed 10Gbit, actual unknown, configured duplex fdx, actual
unknown
Stacking Port, port state is DISABLED
BPDU guard is Disabled, ROOT protect is Disabled
Link Error Dampening is Disabled
STP configured to ON, priority is level0, mac-learning is enabled
Flow Control is enabled
Mirror disabled, Monitor disabled
Not member of any active trunks
Not member of any configured trunks
No port name
Once the correct license is installed, the port displays the state as up as shown in the following example
output.
device#show interface ethernet 3/2/2
10GigabitEthernet6/2/2 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is 10GigabitEthernet, address is 0000.0082.f872 (bia 0000.0082.f872)
Configured speed 10Gbit, actual 10Gbit, configured duplex fdx, actual fdx
Stacking Port, port state is FORWARDING
BPDU guard is Disabled, ROOT protect is Disabled
Link Error Dampening is Disabled
