Switch stuck in boot mode and TFTP doesn't work

[pedro1986]

After power outage my 7150 C12p switch is stuck in boot mode. I tried to follow the TFTP instructions here: RUCKUS Forums - How to perform a Software recovery on an ICX7150 s... - CommScope RUCKUS Community F...

however I can not ping the TFTP server and I tripled check everything. It always claims TFTP can't be pinged. Can I not do a copy from USB instead of using TFP?

If your Windows firewall is on , please turn off the Windows firewall and retry the software recovery process once again.

Please refer to the below link on how to turn off the Windows firewall:

I actually figured it was Windows firewall shortly after I posted this, but unfortunately forgot to update. I have my switch back up and we can close this case. These steps may be a little out of reach for a typical home owner.
