After resetting ICX-7150-C12p switch, I am not able to access Switch homepage and also not able to telnet to the device.

Note:

1. I am able to ping the device

2. I connected my laptop to Switch using RJ-45 Serial port.

3. I was able to connect to Switch before resetting.

Hi @achaknalwar 

 

Greetings of the day,

 

Thanks for the details provided.

 

Please follow the below steps to access the switch using telnet.

 

 

How to find my Ruckus “Devices IP address” using free applications

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-find-my-Ruckus-Device...

 

1: Type “CMD” from start button and open:

2: Run the Following command: "arp -a", now you can see the IP or internet address of the switch, and the physical address, however you need to know the physical address that can be located on a sticker in the Switch, so you can do the match with the information displayed in the CMD.

Hi Jayavidhya,

 

I tried "arp -a" command you provided but Ruckus Switch IP and Mac address is not listed in command output.

Note : 192.168.1.2 is Ruckus Switch IP based on Router Management Page.

 

$ arp -a | grep 192.168.1.2 | cut -d' ' -f2
(192.168.1.20)
(192.168.1.22)
(192.168.1.25)
(192.168.1.28)

 

Hi @achaknalwar

Thank you for the response and the information you shared,

Could you please let us know the reason, you are trying to access Telnet to the Switch? And are you using Apple MAC device?

Thank you again for your patience.

I am trying to upgrade the firmware on this switch and for that I was trying to follow instruction available on this website where it mentioned to connect laptop to switch using RJ45 to USB cable and then run telnet command.

Yes I am using Apple Macbook
