I just got my replacement switch and when I try to telnet to it I get:
I go to the web and try to login but none of the combinations work.
How can I fix this? I am not returning the old one unitl this gets resolved. I also tried a console cable and that isnt working because username/passwords dont work. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TESTED BEFORE SENDING OUT!

Hello @dtsteinb ,
Greetings!!!
Thank you for contacting RUCKUS Lennar Home Community.
I hope you are doing well!!!
Thank you for the information you shared.
As per the case description, I understand that you are unable to login to CLI through Telnet and showing the Connection refused error as the Telnet is not enabled on the Switch.
I would request you to please try to access the switch via the console and use the CLI to perform a password reset.
Once you have successfully reset the password, you can access the Switch CLI.
Please follow the below RUCKUS Lennar Knowledge base self-help article which will help you to console in the ICX-7150-12CP 'Ruckus Switch
https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-console-in-the-ICX-71...
Once you have access to CLI using the console cable, please refer to the below video which will help you to reset your password on the Switch.

As I stated I tried going through the console and it still asks for the username/password

I did that and I am still getting connection refused trying to telnet via putty. What do I need to enable in the switch?
