Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

Hi everyone, need your advice and experience sharing. Which indoor AP is best in campus/dormitory environment? With regards to price/coverage balance and can be controlled by vSZ?I read about R310/320 APs. Any experience with this model lately? Likes/dissatisfactions?

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

Are Cisco gbics compatible with brocade ICX6450-48p switches.  It seems to work because I tested it but I was just looking for confirmation on compatibility.  Thank you.

ICX 6610/7450,MLXE-8 & VDX 6740 training

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

Hello all, I am new to current position and coming from a Systems Admin position. I am looking to get training for the listed items (ICX 6610/7450,MLXE-8 & VDX 6740), to help facilitate my integration into the network staff onsite. I have found the videos Ruckus Trainer series by Terry Henry on YT, but I was wondering if there is any other locations that offer training, even boot-camp style training is okay. The devices listed above is what we use her on site and I would like to get as spooled up as I can.I appreciate your time and hope you all have a great day.v/r,WMELHAC-Fort Rucker, AL.

ICX 7450 Compatiblity

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

Good afternoon,My client has 1 existing core switch using Enterasys connected to 1 access switch which is also Enterasys. Then they want to change the core switch with Ruckus ICX 7450. Can ICX communicate with another brand,in my case is Enterasys switch?

ICX Switches seem to Loop when setting SZ-Active

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

Good Afternoon,Has anyone seen an issue where ICX switches running various Firmware will boot loop after being joined to an SZ server?if I unplug the switch from the internet or disable SZ administration, the switch will stay up. But as soon as I plug the network back in, she crashes. SYSLOG: <14> Jun 25 15:30:44 CA-Giancola_Lab_112921 System: Stack unit 1 POE  PS 1, Internal Power supply  with 124000 mwatts capacity is up  PoE Info: PoE module 1 of Unit 1 on ports 1/1/1 to 1/1/12 detected.

Can I configure snmp on cloud managed switches?

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

I have a compact 12-port switch here that I’ve set up with the Ruckus Cloud. I’d like to monitor it with SNMP, but it looks like it might be disabled and the cloud has also disabled my ability to configure settings. Am I missing something?Thanks!

ICX IPv6 /127 Prefix Support?

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

Is it possible to configure an interface with a /127 prefix for a point-to-point link (ICX 7650, 08.0.70b)?For example, let’s say I want to configure a point-to-point link between two routers using the prefix 2001:DB8::/127. I seem to be unable to use the first address in the prefix.[R1] — [R2]R1:
R1(config)# int ve 1 port-name Link_to_R2R1(config-vif-1)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8::/127
Error: cannot assign prefix address!
R1(config-vif-1)#

R2:
R2(config)# int ve 1 port-name Link_to_R1
R2(config-vif-1)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8::1/127
R2(config-vif-1)#

ICX 7150-C12 Updates cause broken sectors.

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

I’m trying to update an ICX7150-C12 with a newer firmware.  It’s currently running 8.0.61a, and I am aware upgrading past this requires that you load both the firmware & the eUFI image, which I have done.  I can get the switch to update (on the Secondary Flash) and it seems to take the install as well as the reimage, but when you try to boot to secondary, it gives me a notice that it’s “Skipping Bad Block”, as seen below.  I’ve included my whole boot sequence here, as there’s likely information in here about where my problem is occurring.  I’m upgrading via TFTP, and I have tried multiple different versions of firmware, with identical results.  I’ve also tried copying the primary flash back over to the secondary and starting from scratch to no avail.  Can anyone shed some light on this?Booting image from

Can Ruckus ICX 7150-C12P act as a router and do NAT?

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

I have a new Ruckus ICX 7150-C12P switch. I’m wondering if I can connect it directly to my ISP’s modem and let it act both as a DHCP server for my devices inside my home and also do the routing/NAT from internal network to the single external IP it gets from the cable modem? In other words, can I get away without a dedicated router device?

Cannot connect Ruckus ICX7750 to Huawei CE6810 via 40G QSFP+

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

I have an ICX7750-48C copper switch that seems to work just fine on its own. I also have a Huawei CD6810 fiber switch that works beautifully on its own. Each of these switches has QSFP+ 40G ports. I purchases a special QSFP+ 40G DAC that is configured for the CE6810 on one end and the ICX7750 on the other end. The Issue I’m running up against is that the two switches do not see each other. The CE6810 sees the QSFP+ adapter and throws no errors. The ICX7750 also sees the adapter plugged in and does not throw any errors.Physically on the two switches I see no visible indication that they are attempting to negotiate. What can I do to figure this out?One more curious thing is that whenever I reboot the ICX7750 all 10G port LEDs light up, and then go off, then only the connected ones come on. This seems normal. None of the 40G port LEDs ever come on. Is this normal?

Ruckus ICX 7150 & R510

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

I just moved into a new home by Lennar and they have 1 ICX 7150 and 2 r510s installed in the house. I have ATT Fiber, ATT provides a modem/router which connects to the ICX 7150 and the R510s connects to the ICX 7150 via POE. In their set up they have all of the devices set up as an AP (According to ruckus unleashed). Shouldn’t the ICX 7150 be set up as a switch and not an AP?If the ICX 7150 is indeed suppose to be set as a switch how do I do this? Will I need to reset the whole thing?Also when ATT installed their modem, they disconnected a commscope bos-mn-1602. Is this important?

Help with setting up VLAN trunk ports on ICX switches – is this possible?

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

I have several Ruckus ICX7150-12P switches, running 08.0.92d (SPR08092d.bin).Our router is a pfSense.I’m trying to setup trunk ports to act as uplink ports between the ICX switches.I’m normally used to Cisco/Arista, and their concept of access/trunk ports – so I’m still getting used to configuring things on Ruckus.I’ve created the VLANs, and I’ve designated some ports as access ports like so:vlan 16 name Officetagged ethernet 1/1/12However, when I try to create the trunk ports, I hit an issue:ICX7150-C12 Router(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)#vlan-config add all-tagged INFO : Command may take approximately 0 Secondserror – IP routing, vrf, ip policy, route-only, rpf-mode, ip-mac or ip tcp mss was configured on ports  1/1/1
I checked, and port 1/1/1 does have an IP address – it seems to have pulled one via DHCP by default. (And I can also use this IP address to SSH into the switch and configure things).I found out that I can remove the IP address, then apply the above VLAN configuration:ICX7150-C12 Router(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)#int eth 1/1/1ICX7150-C12 Router(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)#no ip address * ICX7150-C12 Router(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)#vlan-config add all-tagged INFO : Command may take approximately 0 SecondsICX7150-C12 Router(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# VLAN : [  82] Port(s) ethe 1/1/1  add to 2 vlan(s) complete…..However, the IP address seems to come back on its own after a couple of minutes.Obviously, I assume this isn’t the correct way to configure things.The other issue is – devices don’t seem to be talking correctly through the uplink ports I’ve configured between two ICX switches.Anyhow – what is the correct way of setting up some ports as access ports (e.g. Ports 2-4 are VLAN 10, ports 5-10 are VLAN 20, ports 11-12 are VLAN 30), and then also trunk ports that connect between the switches, and to our router, that carry all the VLANs?

MPLS – First time I am configuring and MPLS circuit with Ruckus switches. Any tips or suggestions?

Posted on 10 Sep, 2020, in Uncategorized

First time we are working with an ISP and programming a MPLS circuit or “Vlan product” or “ring” which ever you want to call it. Any suggestions or help programming both the switch and the core?
