Enabling ports on the rear panel

By default, ports on the rear panel are in an error-disabled state. Use the ICX6650-40G-LIC-POD
license to enable these ports. Once enabled, ports 1/2/1 through 1/2/4 are at 40 GbE port speed, and
ports 1/3/1 through 1/3/8 are at 10 GbE port speed.

Download the ICX6650-40G-LIC-POD license from the Brocade software portal.

Place the license file on a TFTP or SCP server to which the Brocade device has access to.

Use TFTP or SCP to copy the file to the license database of the Brocade device. To use TFTP to
copy the file to the license database of the Brocade device, enter the following command.

Brocade# copy tftp license 10.120.54.185 lic.xml unit 1

Brocade#Flash Memory Write (8192 bytes per dot)

copy tftp license [IP_address| ipv6_address] license_filename_on_host unit unit_id

The IP_address variable is the address of the IPv4 TFTP server.

The ipv6_address variable is the address of the IPv6 TFTP server.

The license_filename_on_host variable is the file name of the license file.
