No power to ethernet ports

jasegb — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 16:45:48 GMT

Our battery backup died and finally got power restored. Once restored the modem rebooted, however the Ruckus switch is not working. I see one green and one orange light on, but ALL ethernet ports are not lighting up. The APs are not receiving power, and the switch is not transmitting to anything that is directly connected. Need help ASAP!! A call you be much quicker!!

Thanks

Hi @jasegb

Thank you for the details provided, according to your description, it seems that your Switch (ICX7150 Switch) may be stuck in boot mode, so in order to fix it, you need to get access via console, using two connections one is for console access using the USB to type C cable (the USB will be connected on your computer and the type C on your ICX7150 Switch) now the second connection will be an Ethernet cable from your computer to the out-of-band port on your ICX 7150 Switch),don't worry the next guide explains the port locations and there are pictures about it.

Note: Please read the guides carefully before start the troubleshooting.

I do not have a USB to USB-c cable, also I have looked at the link to accomplish this and I am no where near able to follow this complicated technical instruction. There is A LOT of intricate steps.

The Youtube link that you provided is NOT for the common person. I have no idea what this guys is talking about regarding where he received code/IP addresses and servers.

Hi @jasegb

I understand that the steps may be somewhat new, however, we have tried to keep the guides as non-technical as possible, so that they are easy to follow; however, if you continue to have problems, I would recommend that you seek for external help or a technician.

In my device manager I do not have Ports as a selectable tab. I only have “other devices” and it does not show a COM number

Hi @jasegb

Please install the drivers and reboot the computer before try to reconnect the type USB type C cable, also remove any other external device connected to the computer such mouse or headset that may use the USB ports are connection source, finally perform a factory reset to the Switch.

1: install the Drivers and reboot the computer(remove any other external device connected):

2: perform a Factory reset in the switch:

Remove power from the switch.
Press and hold the Reset button while applying power to the switch.
After all the system LEDs flash amber, release the Reset button.

When all the system LEDs blink green, all the configuration data are erased and the switch is returned to its factory configuration. When all the system LEDs are solid green, the erase process is complete and the system reloads. Once reloaded and the SYST LED is steady green, the factory reset is complete.

3:Reconnect the cables back and try to gain access, just try the COM # that appear associated to the Switch, if you have any error please provide the error from the putty APP.

Hit: Right click from the bar in the top of putty and hit even logs, please provide those logs results.

there wasn't any software to install the USB cable. I tried to "find drivers" but nothing comes up.

Hi @jasegb

Can you provide the IP configuration for the computer and the command

printenv for the switch.

1:From computer

2:From switch, run the command and share the results.

printenv

3:Ensure that Ethernet cable from the computer to the switch is properly connected, take in consideration that in the Switch is the management port and the computer will be the regular Ethernet port.

I have followed all recommended steps and updates, and the device is still non-responsive and will not show a live connection or power to the ethernet ports. I would like a replacement please.

Hi @jasegb

Thank you for the information provide, I can see that there is no traffic between the computer and the Switch base in the out-of-band management port light status, so based on your troubleshooting you have done, since out-of-band management port is not responding in the ICX 7150-12P, the software recovery cannot be performed, this unit must be RMA (return merchandise authorization ),means replace it. Feel free to contact us via chat, comment you already have a post, copy the link of this post, and paste it into the chat to start unit replacement.
