Ports on Demand Overview and Platform Support

Please verify the details.
Ports on Demand (PoD) enables a 1-Gbps port to be upgraded to a speed of 10-Gbps. Licensing for Ports on Demand is available on the RUCKUS ICX 7150 devices.

To upgrade the port speed, you must first upgrade the license using the license install perpetual command, and then configure the port speed to 10 Gbps. To install the PoD license, refer to Installing or Downgrading SAU Licenses.

Ports on Demand Licensing on the ICX 7150

RUCKUS ICX 7150-48ZP devices are shipped with two 10-Gbps ports (1/2/1 and 1/2/3). By default, ports 1/2/1 and 1/2/3 on RUCKUS ICX 7150-48ZP devices are 10-Gbps ports that do not require a PoD license (although Layer 3 Premium features are not included). Additional 10-Gbps ports require a PoD license. The PoD ports on RUCKUS ICX 7150-48ZP devices are ports 1/2/2 and 1/2/4 through 1/2/8.

On other 24-port and 48-port models of the RUCKUS ICX 7150, the PoD ports are 1/3/1 through 1/3/4. On the RUCKUS ICX 7150-C12P and RUCKUS ICX 7150-C10ZP model, the PoD ports are 1/3/1 and 1/3/2.
