ICX 7150-C12P change ports

reem1906 — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 20:03:25 GMT

I moved into a Lennar Home with two R510 access points and an ICX 7150-C12P already installed. After some research, I got everything to work well. The issue is about once per day, the WiFi from the access points goes out or gets extremely slow and it only goes back to normal when I switch the ethernet cable to another port on the ICX 7150-C12P. It happens at different times of the day, but it seems that there are about 18-20 hours of WiFi using one port, and then the WiFi either goes out or gets super slow, I change to another port on the back of the ICX, and then it's back to normal. This really is a daily issue. Any advice? PLEASE!

Hi @reem1906

Greetings!!!

Thank you for contacting RUCKUS Lennar Home Community.

Hope you are doing well!!!

Thank you for the information you shared.

As per the case description, I understand that your RUCKUS setup is not working, and there is intermittent Internet connectivity via RUCKUS R510 Access Points.

Could you please let us know the answers to the below queries to assist you better?

1. If it worked before, was there any power outage before you started facing this issue?

2. On your switch while it's plugged into the outlet, do you see any lights on? (Amber or green) Please let us know which lights are on. (Please refer to the below picture and share a picture of the same, showing the light status and the FULL Switch panel cable connections to the Switch ports)

3. Is your Internet Connection from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) stable and working? (You could check this by connecting to your local router Wi-Fi or from an ethernet cable from the Router to a laptop/PC).

4. May I know how many Access Points are connected to the Switch? Could you please let me know the light status on the Access Points? Any of these lights are on (Please refer to the below picture and share a picture of the same)

Please help us with pictures of your ICX-7150-C12P Switch showing the status of the lights and cable connections to the Switch ports. Also, light the status of Access Points.

Before uploading the photos please log in to the RUCKUS account and you can upload the image.

Attached are pictures of the 2 access points and the switch. I hope they are clear. There has not been any power outages to my knowledge. Again, we recently moved in so I’m not sure if there were problems with the last owners. Also, the internet from my ISP is working completely fine. The issues started once we connected to WiFi through the access points. Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @reem1906

Greetings!!!

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

This issue may happen when the Switch runs on the Routing code (SPR). The Switch should run on the Switching code (SPS) to avoid these issues for Lennar home users. If the Switch boots up on the other partition (Due to a power outage/power spike) which may be running on a ‘Routing Code’ results in causing this issue. To check the same please follow the below process.

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, to check, I have two "Ruckus Wireless" IP addresses, which I am guessing is due to having two access points. Nothing else for Ruckus appears when I try to get the IP address. Should I follow the steps above for both IP addresses?

Hi @reem1906

Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response and the information you shared.

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. Please share the screenshot of the IP Scan results.

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

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

I have scanned the IP addresses and this is what appears. As you can see, "Ruckus Wireless" appears twice, but the switch does not appear at all. I assume those are the access points showing. I have tried both IP addresses in the command line of the terminal (I am using a MacBook) and nothing happens when I follow the instructions. I also looked at my unleashed dashboard and do not see the switch appearing (see picture included). Could this all be a part of the same issue on why my WiFi disconnects?

Hi @reem1906

Thank you for the response and the information you shared.

Could you please reboot (unplug and plug from the power outlet) your RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch and ISP (Internet Service Provider) Router once and run the IP scan once again, check if there is any IP Address with the name Ruckus Wireless or Brocade communications which refers to the Switch? And also check Unleashed system after the reboot, if there is switch gets appear.

Could you please share a screenshot showing the version of your Unleashed system? (Please refer to the below screenshot)

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

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Good evening! I unplugged both the switch and the ISP router for a few minutes, plugged back in the router first until it was fully booted, and then plugged in the switch. I ran the ISP scan and it the switch still doesn't appear. I searched for it while connected to the ISP network and then I searched for it while connected to the Ruckus network created from access points; the switch never appeared. I am now attaching the screenshot of the version I'm using for the Unleashed system. Both access points have the same version; I updated it a few days ago.

Hi @reem1906

Thank you for the response and the update.

Yes, your both Unleashed Access Points are updated to a newly released version. You can uninstall, and install the Unleashed Application on your iOS device and try to log in.

Please unplug and plug the ethernet cables to any other 1 in-12 ports on the Switch (As highlighted in the below screenshot) and check the unleashed if there is a Switch gets appears.

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

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
