Please make sure to download the zip drive for the file below & "extract all". Once it's extracted, run the file, the driver should be installed using the 2 links below.

Hi @Kamal1320

Greetings!!!

Thank you for reaching out to the RUCKUS Lennar Home Community.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve the issues you are experiencing with your RUCKUS setup.

Based on the information provided, it appears that you are getting a ‘not live’ error during the RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch Software Recovery process.

This error is usually due to a firewall that is enabled on your Windows laptop.

Please refer to the below RUCKUS Lennar Knowledge Base self-help article to fix this issue.

Hello Imran,

I got success in getting alive. Got it done but now it is asking for login and password. I put admin as login but password is not accepting. Please advise how to reset password. I put the same password that is on the box but do not work. See images.

imran.sanadi@commscope.com

Hi @Kamal1320

Thank you for the response and the information you shared.

Could you please try to log into the Switch CLI using the default credential?

Switch default credentials will be as mentioned below.

Username: super

Password: sp-admin

If the above credentials don’t work, you can try below default credential combinations as well.

Please let me know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

I will check if it works.

Thanks

Kamal1320

Yes It worked and reset the password.

So do I disconnect now and put it on the console and put all cables back or is there any command to exit.

imran.sanadi@commscope.com

Hi @Kamal1320

Thank you for the response.

Sure, please check the default usernames/passwords.

If that doesn't work, follow the below process to recover/reset the same.

While you have the laptop connected to the Switch with a console USB cable and the CLI screen up it asking a username/password, reboot (unplug and plug from the power outlet), and follow the video below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ynKwSTpd_A

Once you have successfully recovered the switch password, use the following commands to either modify the existing password or create a new username and password:

enable

configure terminal

device(config)# username super password pass

In this example, the username is ‘super’ and the password is ‘pass’.

To ensure proper authentication, execute the following commands:

device(config)# crypto key generate rsa

device(config)# aaa authentication login default local

device(config)# aaa authentication web-server default local

Please let me know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again for your patience.

Hi @Kamal1320

Thank you for your response and the update. I'm glad to hear that the process was successful.

At this stage, you can proceed by closing the sessions and disconnecting the Software Recovery cables from the devices. Afterward, reconnect the cables to any of the 12 ports on the switch, as they were initially configured. Please verify that everything is functioning properly.

Should you have any questions or encounter any issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you once again for your patience and cooperation.
