Upgrading a PoD License
Upgrading a PoD license involves the following high-level steps.
- Log in to the RUCKUS Support portal to generate the license you need.
- Install the PoD license on the device. Refer to Installing or Downgrading SAU Licenses for detailed steps.
- Use the
show licensecommand to confirm that the license was installed correctly. The command output shows the license capacity in the Ports field and the license name in the Lic Name field.
The following example shows the output from a device with the 8-port capacity version of the PoD license.
- A syslog is generated informing you about the failure.
SYSLOG: <14>Jul 31 00:33:46 10.20.147.22 PoD: No license present for port 1/2/1.
- A system message made up of individual syslog errors is
generated that gives details about each port.
device(config-if-e10000-1/2/1)#speed-duplex 10g-full PoD: No license present for port 1/2/1 SYSLOG: <14>Jul 29 07:20:47 PoD: No license present for port 1/2/1 device(config-if-e10000-1/2/1)#
If you delete a PoD license (either the 2-port or 8-port capacity license), the affected ports continue working at 10-Gbps until you reload the device. When you reload the device, the ports are returned to 1-Gbps speed. For more information about deleting a license, refer to Deleting SAU Licenses from an ICX Device.
