I'm updating the firmware on several different model of ICX switches that I have, but I'm running into a bit of confusion. For the ICX7650-48p, the recommended firmware is the 08.0.95g ufi version, but the zip file contains both a TNR08095gufi.bin and a TNS08095gufi.bin file. I can't find anything in the release notes that specifies a difference between these two versions. Is there a difference? What situations would call for either version being applied over the other?

Hi @kk1313 

Basically the TNS the third letter means Switching code the TNR means routing code 

Switching guide :

Routing guide :

https://support.ruckuswireless.com/documents/3458-fastiron-08-0-95-ga-layer-3-routing-configuration-...

As we can see, the routing code allows us some features like create VEs/ip routes/ Routing protocols etc...

To check what code you are actually running we can check with a 'show version'

This is a ICX-7150 so the terminology is SP and not TN like your case that is ICX-7650

ICX7150-C12 Switch#show ver

SW: Version 08.0.60T211
Compressed Boot-Monitor Image size = 786944, Version:10.1.09T225 (mnz10109)

As we can see in the example that switch is running SP 'S' that means that is running switching code.

Another example : 

ICX7250-24P Router#show ver

UNIT 1: compiled on Apr 6 2020 at 22:40:21 labeled as SPR08080f
(29829112 bytes) from Primary SPR08080f.bin
SW: Version 08.0.80fT213
Compressed Boot-Monitor Image size = 786944, Version:10.1.14T215 (spz10114)
Compiled on Thu Nov 15 12:59:16 2018

In this case we have SP 'R' that means that is running routing code 

I hope it helps 

Best Regards 

Fernando Vasquez
