Ruckus 7150 Switch SYST light yellow, stuck in boot mode

LenRuck2023 — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 23:17:31 GMT

Hello,

After power outages, my Ruckus switch stays in boot mode, SYST light is yellow. I was able to connect from my laptop using a USB-C cable and ran the command BOOT_PRIMARY, which shows that it goes to the secondary to actually boot and then works.

I am trying to run the software upgrade per your article:

RUCKUS Forums - How to perform a Software recovery on an ICX7150 s... - CommScope RUCKUS Community Forums (ruckuswireless.com)

However, using a USB-C connection, it does not show up as a Network device, so I do not know how to configure the IP address (Gateway, Server IP, etc) in order to push the image files to the switch. I am able to run off the secondary image so far, but that could become corrupt at some point like the primary and I won't be able to use my switch anymore. Can you provide the steps on how to perform the software update using the USB-C connection, NOT the ethernet connection.

Thank you,

Manuel

My lights are all green and its working at this moment as I mentioned in my question. I can upload a picture but right now it is all green.

I performed a BOOT_PRIMARY command connected to the switch with a USB-C cable and it restored from the Secondary image, the primary is corrupt so the switch cannot startup after loss of power.

I need to update the firmware on the switch and I was following your directions ( i provided a link from your website in my original post on how to update the software on the switch). The directions do not walk through the network settings configuration and how to do it with a USB-C cable.

Now, I need to know how to perform this step when connecting to the switch using a USB-C cable, not an ethernet connection. When I look at the network connections, all I see is my wifi router.

The screen shot below shows what I cannot do with a USB-C cable connection, there is no 'Ethernet' network connection so I cannot configure the IP Addresses. I need to know how to do the same steps but using a USB-C cable.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi @LenRuck2023

Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response and the information you shared.

Please note, the Switch upgrade has some different processes. I will assist you with that later after checking some required configurations. Please help us with the below-mentioned process to assist you further.

As I see from the picture you shared, seems like the ethernet cable which is coming from the Router is plugged into the wrong port on the Switch panel. It must be plugged into the 1 in-12 ports as shown in the below screenshot. Please unplug the ethernet cable and plug it into the correct port.

We will check some configurations on the Switch to proceed with Upgrade, please follow the below steps to check the same.

Please follow the below steps and help us with the queries,

1. To check this issue, we must identify the ‘current’ IP address assigned by your local router to the switch ICX-7150-C12P

I will leave you a guide on how to perform an IP scanner on your local network to identify the switch IP address very easily.

How to find my Ruckus “Devices IP address” using free applications:

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-find-my-Ruckus-Devices-IP-address-using-free-applications/td-p/47027

2. Once we identify the IP address of the switch proceed to access remotely to the device “Command Line”

How to remotely access to 'ICX 7150-C12P' or 'access points' "Network devices":

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-remotely-access-to-ICX-7150-12P-or-access-points-quot/td-p/47388

If you can access the Command line should look like this:

ICX7150-C12 Router> OR

ICX7150-C12 Switch>

Please enter the below commands once you log in to CLI and share the output.

Note: Hit Enter to accept each command

enable

show version

show flash

Please share the output of the above commands or share the screenshots if stuck at any step or error (if any) and let me know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Hi @LenRuck2023

Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response and the information you shared.

This issue is because your switch is running on the Routing code (SPR). The Switch should run on the Switching code (SPS) to avoid these issues for Lennar home users. Due to a power outage/power spike, the Switch boots up on the other partition which may be running on a ‘Routing Code’ results in causing this issue.

As I can see from the output you shared, your Switch is booted up on the secondary partition which is running on Routing code (SPR) as highlighted in the below screenshot.

Please Enter the below commands in CLI to fix this issue by copying Switching code (SPS) on the second partition as well:

Note: Hit Enter to accept each command

enable

copy flash flash secondary

boot system flash secondary yes

Example:

VIDEO LINK AS REFERENCE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eem1IBgYaWc

ICX7150-24P Router>enable (hit enter to accept the command)
ICX7150-24P Router#copy flash flash secondary (hit enter to accept the command and wait: until the flash finished)
ICX7150-24P Router#boot system flash secondary yes (hit enter to accept the command: the switch will reboot)

We suggest upgrading your switch to the latest stable version to avoid this issue in the future. Your Switch is on an older version that is 08080d. Please let us know once you complete the above process to assist you with the Upgrade of the Switch.

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

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

I have completed the steps as you requested. Ready to perform the Switch upgrade if you can provide those instructions.

Thank you.

Imran_ruckus — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 15:16:47 GMT

Hi @LenRuck2023

Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response and the update.

Please follow the below steps explaining the Upgrade process.

The recommended stable version is 8095g (08.0.95g)

The Upgrade path would be: 08080d (your current version)>>8080f>>8095g

(PLEASE NOTE: Use 08095g patch in place of 8095h as explained in the guide)

Your Upgrade folder should contain these 3 files shown in the below screenshot: (Refer the guide link for more information)

Below are the options or methods to perform the Upgrade on the switch: You could choose any one of these.

1st Option:

1. In this option, we will use a pen drive or USB flash drive in which we move the files to the pen drive and connect it to the Switch then through CLI we execute the commands to upgrade the Switch using the following guide as a reference:

How to Upgrade a Switch ICX-7150-C12P using a USB flash drive

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-Upgrade-a-Switch-ICX-7150-C12P-using-a-USB-flash-drive/td-p/46781

2nd Option:

2. The following guide is an example of an upgrade via TFTP server, by using an application (FREE) to send files or upload remote files to a device, in our case, we will use it to update a new version to the Switch, basically it will send the image version remotely from the computer to the switch.

How to upgrade a Switch ICX7150-C12P via TFTP

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-Upgrade-a-Switch-ICX-7150-C12P-via-TFTP/td-p/47187

3rd Option:

3. In this option we Upgrade the Switch from the Web Interface (GUI) of switch.

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-perform-an-Upgrade-via-Web-GUI-ICX7150-Switch/td-p/48200

Try to access your switch from a web browser by pasting the below URL in http or https form whichever that works.

https://0.0.0.0 or http://0.0.0.0 (IP address of Switch. 0.0.0.0 is just as an example)

As you can access CLI, I would suggest you follow the 2nd option.

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

Thank you again for your patience.

Hello,

This did not work for me. I tried using the super admin account but the password does not work. I tried the same thing using the "admin" account and it does like the command provided, please see screen shot below:

I am connected to the switch using putty and connected on ssh port.

Re: Ruckus 7150 Switch SYST light yellow, stuck in boot mode

LenRuck2023 — Sun, 13 Aug 2023 16:35:03 GMT

Another question I have is why can I not just upgrade using the admin UI? I am logged in, but I am unable to click the update button, its greyed out and always shows "Loading" firmware version but never does anything. I amazed how hard it is to fix this issue, most people could not understand these instructions without some technical background.

Hi @LenRuck2023

Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response and the information you shared.

The UI dashboard on the web browser and Putty CLI you are seeing is of Unleashed and not of the ICX-7150-C12P Switch.

You should see the Switch Dashboard as shown in the below screenshot to confirm it’s a Switch IP Address.

Please check the other IP Addresses from the IP scan results, by the name of Ruckus Wireless or Brocade Communications to confirm the IP address of the Switch and access the CLI.

And please note, we have an Upgrade process from UI as one of the 3 options I shared in my previous post.

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

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Hello,

I tried the Console that you showed, and it does not work with any accounts or passwords listed in the article. The 'admin' account does log me into the other console I showed you, but not this Web Management Console. The 'admin' account I have the password for and lets me login into the putty session, but the commands you asked me to run don't work.

No combination of accounts/passwords work here.

Here are the IP Addresses from IP Scan

Using SSH to connect to the 192.168.1.25 address and 'admin' account, the only one that lets me login. The copy command does not work.

What next?

Thank you.

Hi @LenRuck2023

Greetings!!!

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

The Putty CLI screen you are logged in to is of RUCKUS Unleashed Access Points, NOT the ICX Switch.

Please use Telnet using the IP address shown in the below screenshot. And try to log in on Putty.

Telnet – Port 23 (If SSH doesn’t work)

If you can access the Command line should look like this:

Telnet-ICX7150-C12 Switch>

Please share the screenshots if stuck at any step or error (if any) and let me know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

I connected to the switch using the telnet port and got the prompt you were looking for. It still does not work.

Putty session, never asks for account/password info, just connects directly flash copy fails:

Should I be copying the .bin file in my upgrade folder?

Re: Ruckus 7150 Switch SYST light yellow, stuck in boot mode

Imran_ruckus — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 15:25:04 GMT

Hi @LenRuck2023

Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response and the update.

Yes, Telnet will not ask for a username/password to log in. And there should be 3 files in the Upgrade folder as mentioned in the Upgrade guide/post.

Please follow the below steps as shown in the screenshot.

1. Browse and select the Upgrade folder containing 3 .bin files.

2. Click on ‘Show Dir’>>select 1st file>>hit copy

3. Open the CLI/Telnet and type the below command and copy the mnz10114.bin file by right click on the mouse. (Ex: copy tftp flash <ip address> <right click> bootrom) Press Enter and now your tftp image will start copying.

Command: copy tftp flash 10.45.19.152 spz10114.bin bootrom

Follow the next step-by-step process from the guide carefully and repeat the above step for the other 2 files as well.

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

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
