No lights on Ruckus APs

Ampersand — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 03:43:56 GMT

My APs are not receiving power (no lights present) after the ICX-7150-12CP switch was disconnected from power, the switch has two lights present (see attached picture). I read through similar posts on here and followed steps to console the switch with USB-C to USB, which I was able to do. I also followed steps to perform a software recovery but was unsuccessful as I received the following:

ICX7150-Boot>setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.3

ICX7150-Boot>setenv gatewayip 192.168.0.2

ICX7150-Boot>

I am not sure if the error was due to not being connected with an Ethernet, the step in which I was required to input an IP address was to be done through an Ethernet properties (see step below), however, my laptop does not have an Ethernet port so I used the properties for the Bluetooth and WiFi (see attached pic). Since I received an error I am unsure what to do next.

Start>type control panel>View network status and Task>change adapter setting>Ethernet>right click properties>Internet Protocol (TCP/IPv4)>Select Use the following IP address>insert the same information I have>Click OK

Hi Ampersand ,

Thank you for posting your query !!!

I understand that your APs are not receiving power (no light present) after the
ICX-7150-12cp switch was disconnected from the power .And I also notice that
you have tried a software recovery but no luck over there and you are getting
the error.

I also notice that from the image you provided that the unit is having amber light . And When the SYS light is amber that means that the switch is stuck in boot mode.

I have a question for you here :

1> Did you try to boot the ICX 7150-12cp from primary and secondary image from service os .If not try to boot the primary or secondary partition like this: boot_primary or boot_secondary.

Regarding the error which you are getting it seems you are not reachable to the default gateway ip=192.168.0.2 that is you laptop in this case . So make sure you laptop is having a TFTP server application with reachability towards the ICX .And make sure you have Ethernet cable connectivity from your ICX to laptop because here Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity wont help .

Could you please try again the software recovery method by following the below video link .

Thank you for the quick reply. In the response I was told to “make sure you have Ethernet cable connectivity from your ICX to laptop because here Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity wont help”, however, as I stated in the initial post I stated I do not have an Ethernet post, how would I proceed in this instance?

Hi Ampersand,

There is no way , other than using ethernet port connectivity between laptop and ICX to Perform software recovery Hope that helps !

That does no make any sense to me as the instructions are also for a USB to USB-C cable.

Hi Ampersand ,

I understand that in the instructions there is mention of USB to USB-c cable but that is in context of console connection only i.e. management purpose as you can see in the below screen shots also .

But here we need a ethernet connectivity between the ICX and laptop because here we are not managing the ICX we are in the process of software recovery .
