You may choose one of the following options to upgrade the RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch:
Option 1: Upgrade via TFTP Server
This method involves upgrading the switch using a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server. A free TFTP application can be used to remotely transfer firmware files from a connected computer to the Switch. This process allows you to upload the new image version directly to the RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch over the network. Please refer to the following guide for detailed steps on How to Upgrade a RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch via TFTP
Option 2: Upgrade via USB Flash Drive
This method involves using a USB flash drive to perform the firmware upgrade. First, the necessary upgrade files are copied to the USB drive, which is then connected to the RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch. The upgrade is executed through CLI commands on the Switch.

Option 3: Upgrade via Web Interface / Graphical User Interface (GUI)
This method involves upgrading the Switch through its built-in web interface. To begin, open a web browser and enter the Switch’s IP address using either HTTP or HTTPS, for example:
https://0.0.0.0 or http://0.0.0.0 (replace 0.0.0.0 with the actual IP address of your switch).
If the web interface is accessible, you can proceed with the firmware upgrade through the GUI.
