Description:
This Lennar Knowledge Base guide provides instructions for accessing the Command Line Interface (CLI) on both Windows and Mac devices. It is intended to assist with troubleshooting issues related to the RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch and associated Access Points.
Environment:
- Product(s): RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch
- Software / Firmware Version: Applicable to all versions
- Other Conditions: Not applicable
Solution or Process:
For Windows machines:
To access the Command Line Interface (CLI), you will need the IP address of the RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch and the PuTTY application. We can download PuTTY (Figure 1) and learn how to find the IP address of RUCKUS devices (Switch and Access Points) using free IP scanner tools.
FIGURE 1: Putty application download information
We can attempt to log in to the CLI using either the SSH or Telnet option in PuTTY.
SSH- Port 22
To access the CLI via SSH (Figure 2), you will need valid login credentials (username and password). If the credentials are unknown, you may attempt to use the default login details.

OR
Telnet – Port 23 (If SSH doesn’t work)
To access the CLI via Telnet, no login credentials are required. If Telnet is enabled on the switch, it can be accessed directly using the switch’s IP address.
FIGURE 3: Accessing CLI using the Telnet option
If we are able to access the Command Line Interface, the prompt should appear as one of the following:
ICX7150-C12 Router> OR
ICX7150-C12 Switch>
Once we see this prompt, you can proceed to execute the necessary commands.
For MAC devices:
Example "open terminal":
FIGURE 4: MAC device terminal access information
SSH:
ssh username@IP Address of the device
Login command examples:
ssh admin@192.168.1.182
FIGURE 5: Accessing CLI on MAC terminal using SSH option
The password may be one of the commonly used defaults such as: Lennar, sp-admin, or Ruckus1. we may also try other known default login details.
Note: if access to ssh does not work try the following ssh-keygen -R 'ip address of the device' this generates a public key pair for use when authenticating with a remote server.
Telnet – Port 23 (If SSH doesn’t work)
nc <IP Address of the device> 23
Login command example:
nc 192.168.1.182 23
FIGURE 6: Accessing CLI on MAC terminal using Telnet option
If we are able to access the Command Line Interface, the prompt should appear as following:
????telnet@ICX7150-12P Switch>
Once we see this prompt, you can proceed to execute the necessary commands.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully establish a Command Line to your RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch and begin configuring it via the CLI.
