Configuration considerations when configuring PoD for Brocade ICX 6650 devices

Consider the following when configuring PoD for Brocade ICX 6650 devices:

•You can add a ICX6650-2P40G-POD license to any configuration. For example, you can add a ICX6650-2P40G-POD license to a base 32-port configuration.

•In a trunk formation, if there is no license upon bootup or hot swap of a unit, a port is disabled. This does not affect the trunk formation.

•A 10 GbE or 40 GbE port can be in one of the following port states:

-Error-disabled (invalid license)

-Down

-Up

A port is in an error-disabled (invalid license) state when there is no license installed in the device. An invalid license implies that you have incorrectly installed a license that is not tied to the device. When a physical link is established between two devices, but a license is not installed in the device, the port remains in an error-disabled state. A port is operational only when you install the correct license in the device.The show interface ethernet command displays the port in the ERROR_DISABLED state because there is no license installed, and there is no physical link between two devices. The following example output is from a Brocade ICX 6650 device.
