Brocade ICX 6450 won’t boot after power outage

Posted on 26 Feb, 2020, in Uncategorized

Hello everyone,I cannot get my switch to boot. I’ve tried re-flashing the uboot and the software via TFTP, which flash successfully. But but I run into errors each time I try to boot. I believe it might be completely bricked. Please assist if possible.Log output:Bootloader Version: 10.1.05T310 (Mar 19 2015 – 16:39:59)Unable to read Model ID – Pastebin.com

ICX 6610 high cpu usage

Posted on 16 Feb, 2020, in Uncategorized

Hi guys,We have a pair of ICX 6610 stacked and both of them are running version 08.0.30tT7f3 (latest).We are facing a very strange behavior with these boxes. The latency for all IPs configured in it, when we ping, returns with high latency even locally.Below you can find two examples of the problem that we are facing.##########################marceloaraujo@CT-REDES-02[19:55][~]: ping 191.252.191.1PING 191.252.191.1 (191.252.191.1) 56(84) bytes of data.64 bytes from 191.252.191.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=90.6 ms64 bytes from 191.252.191.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=60 time=230 ms64 bytes from 191.252.191.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=60 time=1.69 ms64 bytes from 191.252.191.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=60 time=3.59 ms64 bytes from 191.252.191.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=60 time=0.753 msPING 191.252.203.1 (191.252.203.1) 56(84) bytes of data.64 bytes from 191.252.203.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=1.00 ms64 bytes from 191.252.203.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=60 time=1.49 ms64 bytes from 191.252.203.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=60 time=121 ms64 bytes from 191.252.203.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=60 time=106 msAnother strange thing is the CPU usage.

Installing ICX7400-4X10GF modules in an existing stack

Posted on 16 Feb, 2020, in Uncategorized

I have a 2 member 7450 stack and I need to install an ICX7400-4X10GF module into each unit in the stack.  I know each switch stack unit needs to be powered off to insert the module, but my question is: Does the entire stack need to be powered off and both modules installed at once OR can I maintain as much uptime as possible by installing the modules one at a time as follows:Power off unit 1Install ICX7400-4X10GF module in unit 1Power up unit 1Confirm unit 1 recognizes the new module and is active in the stackPower off unit 2Install ICX7400-4X10GF module in unit 2Power up unit 2Confirm unit 2 recognizes its new module, all is happy, and the stack is fully functionalIf this will work, the switch stack never totally goes down and the dual-homed devices connected to the stack will continue to function.  Does this sound like it will work or will the stack get upset that one member has a module while the other does not? In the end, the hardware configuration will match, but there would be a short time where one unit has an ICX7400-4X10GF module and the other unit does not.

icx 7150 routing

Posted on 14 Feb, 2020, in Uncategorized

Needing a little help here please.  We have an environment with no router, but we do have a layer 3 switch.  Please refer to the diagram; we have a server with IP address 192.168.1.3 connected to Ethernet port 1 of the Brocade Ruckus ICX 7150 switch.  We have a fiber link on port 9 that goes out to a layer 2 switch.  On port 9 we have virtual interfaces for vlan 51 at 10.174.241.99 and vlan 351 at 11.174.246.99.  From the Brocade Ruckus we can ping the Camera at 11.174.246.30, so we are routing traffic as intended from the Brocade through the layer 2 switch (that has tagging) to the camera at 11.174.246.30.  What we need to do is have the server connect from its IP address of 192.168.1.3 to the camera at 11.174.246.30.  What configuration method would work best to achieve this goal?

Pulling out hairs and I’m already balding – ICX routing help

Posted on 14 Feb, 2020, in Uncategorized

If you solve this, you could be the one!  We have a closed network environment with NO ROUTER, but we do have a layer 3 switch.  Please refer to the diagram; we have a server with IP address 192.168.1.3/24 with gateway of 192.168.1.1  The server is connected to Ethernet port 1/1/1 of the Brocade Ruckus ICX 7150 switch which has vlan 192 untagged with ve 192 on IP address of 192.168.1.1.  We have a fiber link on port 1/3/1 that goes out to a layer 2 switch.  On port 1/3/1 we have vlan 51 tagged with ve 51 on IP address 10.174.241.99 and vlan 351 with tagged ve on IP address 11.174.246.99.  From the Brocade Ruckus we can ping the Layer 2 switch at 10.174.241.20, the Camera at 11.174.246.30, and the server at 192.168.1.3.  From the server we cannot ping or communicate with the camera at 11.174.246.30.On the server we even added static routes: route add 10.174.241.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1route add 11.174.246.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 What are we missing?I’ll be happy to share our running config if you’re interested in making someone’s week.

VSZ GUI reflect ICX status shows Offline when it is confirmed Online and Healthy

Posted on 13 Feb, 2020, in Uncategorized

If basic reachability is verified and Firewall is not blocking port 22 and 443 between ICX and VSZ communication, the offline status could be related to a known ICX reverse ssh tunnel defect

Question in Ruckus ICX switch captive portal for Wired Ethernet

Posted on 10 Feb, 2020, in Uncategorized

We are able to capture the switch command and log in the Ruckus Web auth via Clearpass now.But there are some minor issues and might be related to Ruckus itself.Please advise if below issues might be adjusted via Ruckus switch CLI:If I log out and log in the windows again, I still able to access the internet but not asking for authenticating again. Is that possible to trigger to have reauthentication again in this case?If I unplug the Lan then plug it back to the PC or just reboot the PC windows, I need to clear the Browser cookies to let the auth page come up again. Any solution?What is the default log on cache time / Auth-time out after successful login the web auth? Also please advise how to change it.Let says I log in the PC as Domain user A, then log in the Web auth as Domain user B.If there is a Firewall gateway with domain user lookup feature enabled already, what is the user name capture result in the Firewall traffic logging in this case?

I tried to improve it but doesn’t work.Update 1: I upgrade to the version 08.0.90dT221. But it doesn’t help.Update 2: I run ip ssh key-authentication yes. It would be helpful to add this to the documentation.But I have still the problem that it asks after my password.
