Deleting a ICX6650-10G-LIC-POD license

When downgrading to a lower port capacity license using the ICX6650-10G-LIC-POD license, you must first delete the higher port capacity license and then re-install the lower port capacity license in your system. A reload is required for the license to take effect.

1. Delete the 16-port ICX6650-10G-LIC-POD license file from the device.

Brocade#license delete unit 1 index 1

2.Use TFTP or SCP to copy the 8-port ICX6650-10G-LIC-POD license file to the license database of the 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
