ICX7150-C12P -2X1G - No Connectivity to the switch

[Jota31]

I am not sure what has happened over night other than it rained, but I have a Back-UPS connected to the switch to prevent power outage issues as I had an issue on the switch within the first 6 months due to a power outage.  It is a Lennar home that has the ICX-7150-C12P switch with three R510 APs connected to an AT&T Fiber Modem (BGW320-500).

Internet is connected via C1 port. I have pulled the power on the switch and powered back on but the router is not seeing the switch when I connect to any ports including the C1 and C2 ports. When i connect to the Out-of-band management port (RJ-45) with 2 LEDs, I get connection to the router. What is needed to get my switch and AP connected. I really don't want to reset the switch as it will take a lot of configuration to get it all set back up. 

My suspicion is the switch is faulty.

Hi @Jota31 ,

Thank you for the response and the information you shared. 

This issue is because your switch is running on the Routing code (SPR). The Switch should run on the Switching code (SPS) to avoid these issues for Lennar home users. Due to a power outage/power spike, the Switch boots up on the other partition which may be running on a ‘Routing Code’ results in causing this issue.

As I can see from the output you shared, your Switch is booted up on the secondary partition which is running on Routing code (SPR) as highlighted in the below screenshot. 

Please follow the below RUCKUS Lennar Knowledge base self-help article which will help you to fix the issue when the Switch is running in the Routing code.

I realized that I did it incorrectly. I copied the wrong file over during the software recovery process.I used the SPR08090k.bin instead of SPS08090k.bin. I noticed in the link i would need to have SPS in the primary before I can flash. 

When I use the commands from the link.

Does that mean I have to start from scratch and upload the correct SPS?

Hello @Jota31 ,

Thank you for the response.

I would request you to please replace the SPR file with the SPS file as the SPR file would make the Switch runs on the Routing code.

The Routing code will makes the network slow, and even might lead the Switch to drop off automatically.

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

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I am following the instructions from 

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-perform-a-Software-re...

and I am unable to get the prompt 

ICX7150-Boot>

The prompt I am getting is ICX7150-C12 Router>.

How do I get back to that prompt when my router is already up and running and no longer stuck.
