On the right is the Putty Configuration asking for the com port assigned to communicate with the ICX7150-C12P. ON the left is the Device Manager list: After connecting the 7150 using the suggested USB to C cable , the red arrow shows where Windows 10 or 11 assigns it. Putty is looking for a particular com port and baud rate but Windows 11 see CP2104 USB to UART Birdge Controller. I have tried Windows 10 with the same results. Any suggestions?
Hi @FET4771
Please follow the below steps to access the CLI of the switch using the putty app.
1. How to console in the ICX-7150-12CP 'Ruckus Switch'
2: Ethernet cable connected between the Out-of-band management port in the Switch to your computer Ethernet port.
Note: Out-of-band management port in the Switch is the number 13 in the next guide:

3: A console cable connected between your Computer to the ICX 7150 Switch Type-C USB console port.
Note: The cable type will be USB to type C, where the USB it’s going to your computer and the type C to the Type C connection in your switch, is the port number#1 in the next guide.

Now find the COM#, then use the Putty APP to access the CLI of the Switch.
Note: The COM it’s basically a number that the computer assigned when there are external devices connected, in our case will be the connection between your computer and the Switch.
My COM# is COM3 in this example; however, in your case it will perhaps be different and will say ICX7150-Swithc or similar.
Start>type device manager>open>Ports (COM &LPT)
*Now you know the COM number, let’s open the putty Application:
Start>type the putty>open > select the serial>change the COM # with the same you found previously>Open> now you will gain access to the CLI if the Switch via console/serial.
*After you press open from the Putty APP, a Putty session will prompt like this:
boot>
Please let us know if you have any queries in this regard.
Best regards,
