ICX7150 managed switch failed again..!! Need help

Question

Hello, my managed switch ICX7150 failed again when there was a power drop for approximately 1 min. I am tired of this failing again every time there is  a power blip. So I am replacing it with a non-managed POE+ switch from a different brand.

I still have my 2 APs from Ruckus - they are the R510s. Both of them are working (power is green, 5Ghz is green etc.etc.) But I need to manage them. Is there an app i can use? I have the unleashed app, but unable to access the APs through that app since it is not showing "Configure.Me-xxxx" in my wifi ssid options.

I guess it ie because it is not factory install - can someone please help me figure out a way to help manage these R510 APs ?

Hi  @rama9998

Thank you for the response.

Hope you are doing well!!!

Apologies for the inconvenience.

As a part of our process, we need all the answers asked in our previous post to assist you accordingly.

As you mentioned, and we can see from the picture you shared there is an amber/orange light on the "SYST" and a green light on the "PWR" on the Switch. Meaning the Switch is stuck in the boot mode.

Basically, due to the power outage/ power spike, the switch went to a state that we call ‘boot mode’ that is not able to boot up properly.

We suggest upgrading your switch to the latest stable version to avoid this issue in the future. Please let us know once you complete the below process to assist you with the Upgrade of the Switch.

Please follow the below steps in order to fix this issue:

First, we will try to reset the Switch as described below:

1. Please try to disconnect from the Power outlet the ICX-7150 and reconnect.

2. Please try to press the reset button using a paper click or a small stick

* Remove power from the switch.
* Press and hold the Reset button while applying power to the switch.
* After all the system LEDs flash amber, release the Reset button.

IF RESET DOESN’T WORK: Please follow the below steps.

If the reset does not make any difference, we need to perform a software recovery since it can be that the image flash is corrupted in basic words the unit is not able to boot up properly and need re-install the image to boot up properly.

Below is the Guide and Video Link to perform the Software recovery process:
