Campus Fabric Licensing

In a Campus Fabric network, devices configured as port extender (PE) units require the PoD license.

In Campus Fabric (802.1BR or SPX), the ICX 7650 can be configured as the 802.1BR control bridge, and the ICX 7150, ICX 7450, and ICX 7250 can be configured as PE units. To connect to a control bridge over a 1 0-Gbps SPX link, the PE units must have a 10-Gbps PoD license installed. For information about PoD licensing, refer to Ports on Demand (PoD) Licensing. In an SPX system, the PoD license is required only on the ICX 7150 and ICX 7250 PE units.

Note: The ICX 7150-C08P models do not support Campus Fabric (SPX) system.

The SPX system supports setting an SAU license on the PE unit from the control bridge by using the license install command. Refer to Upgrading or downgrading SAU Licenses for more information.
