AP no PoE and Switch shows Orange for SYS and Green on PWR after Power Outage

Question

Hello Ruckus Support for Lennar Homes

After a short power outage today, the Ruckus CX 7150 Switch is no longer providing PoE to the 3 APs. Additionally, the Switch is showing Orange light on SYS and Green light on PWR.

* The internet works fine directly from the ISP. 
* ISP Wiress | Ethernet is functional

I followed the steps in the below thread for System Recovery

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/After-power-outage-no-WiFi-from-Switch-routers-in-Lennar-Home/m-p/54049

However, I get stuck on the PuTTY when configuring the gatewayip, it says that its "not alive" after following the guide here:
https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-perform-a-Software-recovery-on-an-ICX7150-switch/td-p/47483

Its currently just not functional and will need to re-license and everything else, but I am unable to even get to that section.

May I have assistance on this please?

Great!!! Good to know that the issue is now resolved.

Please note, this issue may happen when your ICX-7150-C12P Switch runs on an older (No-UFI) version. Usually, we suggest all the users with this issue, Upgrade their Switch to the latest stable version (UFI) to avoid these issues in the future.

Hello!

When trying to troubleshoot this morning, after a few reboots, the Switch started to work fine without me doing any configuration changes.

It seems to stay on orange when the power is abruptly turned off. But after turning it off and on multiple times, it self-fixes the issue.

Is there a safe way to turn off the switch without unplugging the switch whenever I want to remove the switch to do some troubleshooting when issues like this occurs?

For now, the original issue seems to be fixed.

Thank you so much for your support!

Hi  @tmsuzuki

Thank you for the response and the detailed information you shared,

Please follow the same process, use the same IP Addresses and other configurations we have mentioned in the guide.

Are you turning off the Windows firewall? If not, please turn off the Windows firewall and retry the software recovery process once again.

Please refer to the below link on how to turn off the Windows firewall:

Please let me know if you are getting the same error or are stuck at any point in the software recovery process.

Thank you again for your patience.
