![]() ![]() ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD License to upgrade 4 ports of 1G SFPP uplink to 10G speeds (SFP+).Here are the most popular ICX POD part numbers and descriptions for reference: Terabit Systems has found the ICX series to be a very popular data-center grade switch, one with a highly evolved software feature set, and some kick ass hardware features such as 4x 40G stacking capability to combine several switches into a “virtual” single switch. We keep plenty of licenses in stock many of our customers are extensively using 10GbE SFP+ ports in their networks. ![]() ![]() Once installed, the ports become active, and the license has been consumed meaning it cannot be used again nor removed from the unit. The PODs can be delivered either electronically, or via a license pack. This licensing scheme allows for a simple upgrade path in the field that does not require a screw driver. To activate the ports, the user needs to acquire the appropriate POD and install the license onto the switch - much the same as enabling PREM, ADV, and other software features. The concept is simple: all ports are physically present, but not all of them are active, or are not active at 10GbE. This model is also used in their IP product line, most prominently in the Brocade ICX and VDX series switches. Brocade SAN switches have always used a Ports-on-Demand (POD) licensing model, where ports can be activated by applying a POD license. ![]()
