ICX 7150-C12P Unable to hard reset, Unable to perform software recovery

vmk4fun — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 20:22:19 GMT

Hi,

2 Weeks ago he was power fluctuation and the ICX7150-C12P stopped working (meaning struck on boot mode)

I ran into similar situation multiple times(Once i had to contact the support and we were able to fix, but this time it is different) in the last 3-4 years, but i was able to do hard reset previous occasions.

This time am unable to fix. I did hard reset for more than 50 times and no luck.

Unable to perform the software recovery. I'm using Mac and my firewall disabled. From the switch am able to ping the Mac IP, but not the Switch Ipaddr.

192.168.0.2 -> Assigned to the Switch

192.168.0.1 -> My Mac IP(Acts as gateway/tftp server).

Connected the switch to mac using RJ45 cable.

MacBook Firewall status

/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --getglobalstate --getblockall --getallowsigned --getstealthmode
Firewall is disabled. (State = 0)
Block all DISABLED!
Stealth mode disabled

Hi @vmk4fun ,

Greetings!!!

Thank you for contacting RUCKUS Lennar Home Community.

I hope you are doing well!!!

Thank you for the information you shared.

As per the case description, I could understand that your Ruckus Switch is stuck in the boot mode.

You have tried to perform the reset more than 50 times, the only option left is Software recovery.

We suggest using a Windows laptop, that would be an easy process for performing software recovery.

If you cannot use a Windows laptop, please try getting console access as described in the below link: We have instructions for MAC as well.

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-console-in-the-ICX-7150-12CP-Ruckus-Switch/td-p/46759

Please refer to the video below for TFTP configuration on MAC.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iviyd91HntU

Please make sure the console into the RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch first in a separate terminal screen prior to turning on the Mac internal TFTP server.

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

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,

Yes i was able to get to login to the switch using the suggested method.Same u can see in the messages above.

problem 1) unable to ping local ip which is 192.168.0.2 (it says not alive). Am able to ping 192.168.0.1(which is my macbook - acting as server and tftp server)

2) unable to update_primary, update_secobdary,update_uboot fails with loading *
