Can ICX 7150 be set to switch mode via web interface

MarkKelley

I have a Lennar home that came with an ICX-7150-12P and two R510s. Due to a power loss, the iCX has restared in router mode. I have access to it via the web interface so is it possible to reset it to switch mode via the web or do I need to do it via the console? I don't currently have access to the console because I need a USB C cable. I've ordered one but I'd like to fix it now if possible.

Hey @MarkKelley

Can you look at this on the GUI and send a screenshot?

Monitor > Flash

The switch should default to primary flash (generally a switching image). With that said, it will work just fine on the routing image and will continue to switch packets. I believe the Lennar deployments are just one vlan, so no configuration or specific image is really needed for the box to serve its purpose. You can define boot preference here if needed:

Configure > System > Boot Sequence

@BenBeck , I'm apparently in the dashboard and not the GUI. How do I get into the GUI?

Hey @MarkKelley

I am not exactly sure what you mean there. Are you looking at an AP GUI and not a switch GUI? Can you post a screenshot?

MarkKelley

This is what I'm seeing:

That is the wireless GUI (unleashed), so that will not do you much good for the switch. You likely will need to get a console cable and connect to the ICX that way (assuming it either has no IP address or it is unknown). With that said, even in router mode, it should function just fine.

MarkKelley

Ah, I'm logging into the AP not the switch.

MarkKelley

The connection is very slow. I'll have the cable tomorrow so it's all good. Thanks for trying to help me!

Hey Mark,

No problem and understood. Very tough to tell what is happening in your specific case, but the image running on the ICX (switch or router) should not really matter here. With that said, It may be worth a look. I would advise doing a couple tests to figure out where the issue lies:

1) wired laptop plugged into icx > test speed

2) wired laptop plugged directly into modem (bypassing ICX) > test speed

3) wireless client (preferably newer device and with good signal) > test speed

That may give you a better clue if something is happening within your house. It could also be something ISP-side as well in which case that is a non-Ruckus issue.

I'm having the same issue as Mark and it also occurred after a storm knocked out our power. When I connect my wireless devices to my spectrum router I have no issues, but when I connect most of them to ruckus network they are either super slow or connect and disconnect randomly. Only my laptop seems to have a consistent and fast connection to the ruckus network. The ICX switch says it's disconnected and says "Failed to auto recognize ICX IP address, please provide IP address to continue." Do you have any recommendations on how to fix my ruckus network?

BenBeck

It's just a bit too difficult to say as there are many variables at play here. Realistically, each issue is unique and needs unique troubleshooting for each product, issue, etc. The forum is really not the right avenue to do this. I would recommend opening a case (see my signature) to get proper support

@BenBeck I'm in the console and rebooted it to the switch mode and the slow connections are gone. I remember reading somewhere that I can copy the switch code to the secondary so that no matter what it will boot into switch mode. Is that true? If so, what are the steps?

BenBeck

Hey @MarkKelley

Happy to hear that. Yes, you can. Assuming the switching code is in primary flash ('show flash' to confirm), you would issue this:

ICX#copy flash flash secondary

The above copies the primary flash image to secondary flash
