Reconfiguring ICX 7250 1-Gbps ports as 10-Gbps ports

A port previously configured as a 1-Gbps port must be reconfigured to operate at 10 Gbps. Stacking on the ICX 7250 is only available on 10-Gbps ports in module 2.

NOTE
A license is required for 10-Gbps ports on the ICX 7250. Refer to the Brocade FastIron Software Licensing Guide for additional information.
NOTE
Once a 10-Gbps port license is installed, previously unconfigured ports that are covered by the license come up automatically as 10-Gbps ports. Ports must then be configured for stacking. Refer to ICX 7250 stacking configuration notes.

Use the speed-duplex command to reconfigure port speed on a 1-Gbps port.

In the following example, port 1/2/1, a 1-Gbps port, is reconfigured as a 10-Gbps port.

ICX7250-48P Router(config)# interface ethernet 1/2/1
