Without a license at bootup, the SFP+ ports come up in 10 Gbps port speed in an error disabled state. To enable the SFP+ ports to 10
Gbps port speed, you must purchase the ICX6610-10G-LIC-POD license for each ICX 6610 SFP+ port that connects to an ICX 6450
device.

Any one ICX 6610 device supports a maximum of:
•
Two trunk connections to ICX 6450 peripheral devices (four ports total)
•
Two single (untrunked) port connections to ICX 6450 peripheral devices.
