Configuring PoD on an interface

Note: Configuring PoD on an interface is supported on RUCKUS ICX 7150 and RUCKUS ICX 7250 ports when upgrading to 10-Gbps speed.

To upgrade the ports from 1-Gbps to 10-Gbps speed, perform the following steps.

  1. Generate the CoE for the PoD license you want on the Ruckus Support portal.
  2. Install the SAU PoD license on the device. See Installing or Downgrading SAU Licenses for detailed steps.
  3. Insert the 10-Gbps optic transceiver.
  4. Enter the speed-duplex 10g-full command on a single interface, multiple interfaces, or an interface range on the ICX 7250. 
    device(config)# interface ethernet 1/2/2
device(config-if-e10000-1/2/2)# speed-duplex 10g-full
  5. Enter the write memory command to save the configuration. The ports are automatically configured to 10-Gbps speed.

    If you enable the port to 10-Gbps speed and then enter the no speed-duplex command, the port continues to run at 10-Gbps speed. When the device reboots, the port reverts to 1-Gbps speed.

    If the speed-duplex 10g-full command fails, a syslog message is generated and displayed. The command fails because there is no license available for the port. The following example is a syslog message generated informing you about the failure. 

    SYSLOG: <14>Jul 31 00:33:46 10.20.147.22 PoD: No license present for port 1/3/1.
