Ruckus ICX 7150 ports not working

jegbai — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 21:44:27 GMT

We just bought a Lennar built home and discovered that the ICX 7150 is not functioning. The previous owner said he never also used it. I have 2 Access points connected to this switch. The switch powers up but the ports do not have any power and not also transmitting data. This means my APs are not powering up. I also connected a computer to the switch to confirm that the ports work but there was no connectivity. I have troubleshooted this down to the switch since I have eliminated a possibility that the cables may be the issue. I have used a different switch and this worked. How can I get support for this?

Hello, As you can see, there are no light on the POE ports even if they are connected. The only light on are the power light, (green) and the Syst amber light. I hope this helps.

From the response you shared, I understand that the status lights on the Switch is Amber and the PWR light is Green, which means that the Switch is stuck in a boot mode

Hello,

I went through the 2 solutions proffered, but non worked. After resetting the switch, all light continued flashing endlessly, until i power cycled the switch and it will be back to the amber and green light again ( stock in boot mode). I tried this a number of times and it still did not work before I proceeded to solution 2.

I downloaded all the required software and the firmware update, connected the the switch with RJ45 to my laptop and USB-USBC to laptop as well. After entering the commands in PuTTY, the ping on 192.168.0.2 ( which is my laptop) return not alive, meaning there was no connection to the switch from my laptop.

Please advice next steps. I f you need images, please enable image sending so I can share.
