Preparing for the Installation
Safety precautions
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts to
ground surface.
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their
static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
NOTE
Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to the chassis ground (if the device is plugged in) or to a bench ground.
Power precautions
DANGER
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded.
DANGER
Make sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your
country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all power cords before servicing.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
DANGER
To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.
DANGER
Batteries used for RTC/NVRAM backup are not located in operator-access areas. There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replace
by an incorrect type. Dispose of used components with batteries according to local ordinance and regulations.
CAUTION
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of
overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare
this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power
connectors.
Lifting and weight-related precautions
DANGER
Use safe lifting practices when moving the product.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively place lighter
devices above.
Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.
CAUTION
Do not use the port cover tabs to lift the module. They are not designed to support the weight of the module, which can fall and
be damaged.
Laser precautions

Before configuring a traditional stack using the CLI, physically connect the devices with stacking cables. For more information on
configuring a stack, refer to the
ICX 7150 stacking ports
Depending on the model, up to eight SFP+ ports on the front panel of the ICX 7150 device support stacking. The ports can also be used as
uplink (data) ports. The following figures show the location and numbering for stacking ports. The numbering for the ports is in three-tuple
format (x/y/z) and refers to StackID/Slot/Port.
ICX 7150-C12P devices have two stacking ports on the front panel as shown in the following figure.
FIGURE 46 ICX 7150-C12P stacking ports

.
ICX 7150-24 and ICX 7150-24P devices have four stacking ports on the front panel as shown in the following figure.

ICX 7150 stacking ports
FIGURE 47 ICX 7150 stacking port location on 24-port and some 48-port models
ICX 7150-48, ICX 7150-48P, and ICX 7150-48PF devices have four stacking ports in the same location on the front panel as ICX 7150 24port models.
The exception among 48-port models is the ICX 7150-48PZ, which has eight SPF+ ports on the front panel as shown in the following
figure. Four of these ports, ports 1/2/1 through 1/2/4, can be used as stacking or data uplink ports. The remaining four, 1/2/5 through
1/2/8, can be used only as data uplink ports.
Both linear and ring topologies are supported in a traditional stack. In a linear stack topology, a connection between each switch carries
two-way communications across the stack. The physical connection between the devices can use one port (stacked-port) or two ports
(stacked-trunk) per trunk.
In ring stack topology, an extra connection between the logical first and last devices forms a "ring" or "closed-loop." The closed-loop
connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so if one link fails, stack communications can be maintained. You can connect
stacking units using one port per trunk or both ports in a trunk. For maximum bandwidth and link redundancy, use both ports per trunk.
Linear and ring topologies are depicted for different ICX 7150 models in the following figures.
NOTE
Port numbers shown are specific to each physical unit; that is, the unit ID is 1, in the three-tuple StackID/slot/port notation.
Assuming the stack in the following figure is numbered from the bottom when it is configured, the connected stacking port for the
bottom stack (stack unit 1) would be identified as port 1/3/2, and the connected port in the middle stack unit (stack unit 2) would
be identified as 2/3/1. Port 2/3/2 in the middle stack unit would be shown as connecting to port 3/3/1 in the top unit (stack unit
3).
NOTE
The Secure-setup utility used to discover and configure the stack assigns each unit a different stack ID. You can override the
automatic selection if you choose. Refer to the
FastIron Stacking Configuration Guide
for more information.
The following figures show examples of supported stacking topologies for the ICX 7150-C12P.

Items required
The following items are required for initial setup and verification of the device:
•The device, mounted and installed with the required power supply, fan assemblies, transceivers, and cables
•A workstation computer with a terminal emulator application installed, such as HyperTerminal for Windows
•An unused IP address with corresponding subnet mask and gateway address
•An USB console cable with Type-C connector (Type-C USB cable not included with the device)
•A serial console cable with an RJ-45 connector (RJ-45 console cable not included with the device)
•An Ethernet cable
•Access to a TFTP server or USB removable media for backing up (uploading) or downloading the device configuration (optional)
Providing power to the device
Perform the following steps to provide power to the device.
1.Remove the power cord and the power cord retainer clip from the shipping carton container.
2.Install the power cord retainer clip to the power supply inlet on the device.
3.Connect the power cord to the power supply inlet on the device. Ensure that the power cords have a minimum service loop of 6
inches available and are routed properly to avoid stress.
4.Insert the power cord plug to power sources on separate circuits if there is more than one power cord for a single device in order
to protect against power failure.
5.If applicable, power on the power sources by flipping the switches to the on position. The SYST LED displays amber until poweron self-test (POST) is complete and then starts blinking green until the device is completely up. The device usually requires several
minutes to boot and complete POST.
NOTE
Power is supplied to the device as soon as the first power supply is connected and turned on. If the power indicator
does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or
internal power supply.

6.After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and switch status LEDs are green.
NOTE
Power Supply LED should always display solid green to ensure a working power supply. If the LED is amber, it indicates
a faulty PSU.
For more information about how to interpret POST, BOOT, and diagnostics tests, refer to Monitoring the Device on page 91.
Establishing a first-time connection to the console
port
You can use either the USB Type-C console port or the RJ-45 serial console port to establish the first time connection to the device. The
console port allows you to configure and manage the device using a third-party terminal emulation application from a workstation that is
directly connected to the port using a standard USB Type-C cable or RJ-45 serial cable. Perform the following steps to log in to the device
for the first time through the console connection.
1.Do one of the following:
•Connect a standard USB cable to the USB Type-C console connector on the device and to a USB port on the workstation.
To connect the USB Type-C console port on the device to a USB port on the workstation, you need a standard USB cable
that has a USB Type-C connector on one end and a USB connector on the other end that matches the USB port on your
workstation.
•Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the RJ-45 serial console connector on the device and to a USB port on the workstation.
To connect the RJ-45 serial console port on the device to a USB port on the workstation, you need a standard RJ-45 cable
that has a RJ-45 connector on one end and a USB connector on the other end that matches the USB port on your
workstation.
2.Allow the workstation to automatically discover and configure the newly found USB device.
NOTE
If the workstation is unable to automatically discover and configure the newly found USB device, you can manually
download the necessary device drivers for Windows, MacOS, and Linux from the following website: http://
Establishing a first-time connection to the console port
3.Open a terminal emulator application such as HyperTerminal on a Windows PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX environment,
and configure the sessions parameters as follows:
•In a Windows environment, use the following values:
ParameterValue
Baud: Bits per second9600
Data bits8
ParityNone
Stop bits1
Flow controlNone
NOTE
Flow control is not supported on the console connection when attached to a remote terminal and must be disabled
on the customer-side remote terminal server in addition to the host-side clients.
•In a UNIX environment using TIP, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600.
If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttya -9600
4.When the terminal emulator application stops reporting information, press Enter to display the device prompt.
Depending on the device you purchased, and the code (Layer 2 or Layer 3) loaded on your system, the device prompt is displayed
accordingly.
device>
When the device prompt is displayed, you are connected to the device. You can customize the prompt by changing the device
name. If you do not see this prompt, make sure the cable is securely connected to your workstation and to the device and check
the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the previously configured session settings, make sure the terminal
emulation session is running on the same serial port you attached to the device.
The device CLI prompt has the following access levels:
•User EXEC: This is the level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view some system information
but you cannot configure system or port parameters.
•Privileged EXEC: This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password. You can perform tasks such as
managing files on the flash module, saving the system configuration to flash, and clearing caches at this level.
•CONFIG: The configuration level. This level allows you to configure the system IP address and configure switching and routing
features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged in to the privileged EXEC level.

Initial Setup and
Verification
Establishing a first-time connection to the console port
5.At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged EXEC mode:
device> enable
device#
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly recommends assigning passwords.
You can set the following levels of passwords:
•Super User: Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system administrators and is the only
password level that allows you to configure other passwords.
NOTE
You must set a Super User password before you can set other types of passwords. You can also assign other
passwords using Brocade Network Advisor after an enable password has been configured for a Super User on the
device using the CLI.
•Port Configuration: Allows read-and-write access to specific ports but not for global (system-wide) parameters.
•Read-Only: Allows access to the privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read access.
NOTE
Passwords can be up to 32 characters long. They must begin with an alphabetic character. They can include
numeric characters, the period (.), and the underscore (_) only. Passwords are case-sensitive, and they are not
displayed when you enter them on the command line.
6.Access the configuration mode of the CLI by entering the following command:
device# configure terminal
device(config)#
7.Enter the following command to set the Super User password:
device(config)# enable super-user-password joe
NOTE
Make sure to write down the new passwords and keep the information in a secure location.
8.Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords.
device(config)# enable port-config-password john
device(config)# enable read-only-password sam
Recovering from a lost password
If a password has been configured for the device but the password has been lost, you can regain Super User access to the device using
the following procedure.
Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.
1.Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the Brocade device.
2.Reboot the device.
3.While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.
4.Enter no password. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)
5.Enter boot. This command causes the device to bypass the system password check.
6.After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the device using the other
management interfaces. You can use the classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) or Classless Interdomain
Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.
•To enter a classical IP network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter "10.157.22.99 255.255.255.0" for
an IP address with a Class C subnet mask.
•To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the IP
address. For example, enter "10.157.22.99/24" for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant ("mask") bits.
1.At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following commands.
NOTE
Use the erase startup-cong command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you have already
configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally erase the configuration on a configured system,
enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup-configfile.
2.Enter the following commands to assign an IP address for a device running Layer 2 software.
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
device(config)# ip default-gateway 10.22.3.1
device(config)# write memory
NOTE
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
Enter the following commands to add an IP address and mask to a router port on a device running Layer 3 software.
NOTE
Before attaching any equipment to a device running Layer 3 software, you must assign an interface IP address to the
subnet on which the device will be located. You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For
subsequent addresses, you can use the CLI through Telnet.
3.Assign an interface IP address to the out-of-band management Ethernet port.
Changing the host name, contact, and location is important for distinguishing and identifying the device uniquely and for accurate tracking
of logs and errors. The messages that appear in the log are labeled with the chassis name, which makes tracking the errors much easier.
Specify an easily understandable and meaningful host name and chassis name.
Ruckus ICX 7150 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Part Number: 53-1004928-0579
Initial Setup and Verification
Setting the date and time
Perform the following steps to change the host name and then the chassis name.
1.Customize the host name, contact, and location using the following commands. When you configure a host name, the name
replaces the default system name in the device CLI prompt.
device(config)# hostname sj_device1
sj_device1(config)# snmp-server contact Support Services
sj_device1(config)# snmp-server location San Jose
sj_device1(config)# end
sj_device1# write memory
The name, contact, and location each can be up to 255 alphanumeric characters. The text strings can contain blanks. The SNMP
text strings do not require quotation marks when they contain blanks but the host name does.
2.Change the chassis name by using the chassis name command.
device(config)# chassis name SJ001
sj_device1(config)# end
sj_device1# write memory
The chassis name command does not change the device CLI prompt. Instead, the command assigns an administrative ID to the
device.
Setting the date and time
Use the following command to set the current date and time for the device.
device# clock set
hh:mm:ss Current Time
device# clock set 10:05:45
mm-dd-yy/yyyy Current Date
device# clock set 10:05:45 12-01-16
Establishing a connection to the out-of-band
management port
The out-of-band management interface is an RJ-45 Ethernet port that allows you to access, configure, and manage the device from the
network. Perform the following steps to establish a connection to the device using the out-of-band Ethernet management port.
1.Remove the plug from the RJ-45 management port.
2.Connect an Ethernet cable to the device RJ-45 management port and to the workstation or to an Ethernet network containing the
workstation.
NOTE
At this point, the device can be accessed remotely using the CLI or Brocade Network Advisor. Ensure that the device is
not being modified from any other connections. The Ethernet management port also supports auto-MDI and auto-MDIX.
You can access the management agent in the device from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet or other network
management software. However, you must firstconfigure the device with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have
trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the
correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the device has not been disabled. If it has not been
disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location and the device.
Verifying the correct operation
Check the LEDs to verify operation of functional parts. The following commands can be useful to establish an operational baseline for the
device. Refer to the

Backing up the running configuration
Use the write memory command to replace the startup configuration with the running configuration every time you make changes to the
device configuration. To back up the device configuration to an external TFTP server, use the copy running-cong tftp command.
This command example copies the running configuration to a TFTP server with the IPv6 address of 2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 and names the
file on the TFTP server newrun.cfg.

Installing Transceivers and Cables
Managing cables
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
DANGER
Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. and comply with the FDA Class 1
radiation performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 60825 and EN60825. Optical products that do
not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts to
ground surface.
Managing cables
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, for example, using cable channels on the sides of the rack or patch panels to
minimize cable management. Follow these recommendations:
NOTE
You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts to
ground surface.
•The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load.
•Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.
•Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the switch, allows for
inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
•If you are using Brocade ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking groups. The cables used in trunking groups must
meet specific requirements, as described in the Brocade optics family datasheet.
•For easier maintenance, label the fiber-optic cables and record the devices to which they are connected.
•Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
•Use hook and loop style straps to secure and organize fiber-optic cables.
Installing the Ethernet RJ-45 cables
The device supports connection to other vendors’ routers, switches, hubs, as well as other Ruckus devices through the appropriate ports,
transceivers, and cables.
•For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another Brocade device, a crossover cable
is required as shown in the following figure. If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it requires a straight-through cable instead of
a crossover cable. The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection
between two 1000Base-T ports. In this case, a straight-through cable may work just as well as a crossover cable.
•Straight-through UTP cabling is required for direct UTP attachment to workstations, servers, or routers using network interface
cards (NICs). Fiber-optic cabling is required for direct attachment to Gigabit NICs or switches and routers through fiber ports.
FIGURE 57 Straight-through cable
•All 10/100 and 1000 Mbps Ethernet copper ports on the devices support automatic Media Dependent Interface (auto-MDI) or
automatic Media Dependent Interface Crossover (auto-MDIX) detection. Auto-MDI or auto-MDIX is enabled on all 10/100 and
1000 Mbps copper ports by default. For each port, you can disable auto-MDI or auto-MDIX, designate the port as an MDI port, or
designate the port as an MDIX port.

Installing Transceivers and Cables
Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (SFP+ or QSFP) and the fiber cable connectors, Brocade
strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate on the connectors
and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. When not using an SFP+, or QSFP
connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.
Installing a new fiber-optic transceiver
For direct attachment from the device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, using a fiber-optic transceiver, you need fiber cabling with an LC
connector. You can install a new fiber-optic transceiver in an SFP or SFP+ slot while the device is powered on and running. While installing a
transceiver, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug that can be inserted in the ESD connector on the device.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
Perform the following steps to install a fiber-optic transceiver.
1.Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as
ground.
2.Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.
3.Gently insert the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
NOTE
The location of the fiber-optic interface shown is for illustration purposes only. They may be in a slightly different location
on the device you are using.

Installing Transceivers and Cables
Replacing a fiber-optic transceiver
Replacing a fiber-optic transceiver
You can replace a fiber-optic SFP+ transceiver while the device is powered on and running.
While replacing a fiber-optic module, be sure to wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug that can be inserted in the ESD connector on the
device.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
To replace a transceiver from an SFP+ slot, complete the following steps.
1.Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack).
2.Disconnect the cable connector from the port connector.
3.Unlock the transceiver by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front panel of the module. This unlocks the module from the
front panel.
NOTE
On 1000Base-SX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a black sleeve, and on 1000Base-LX ports, the bail latch is
enclosed in a blue sleeve.
FIGURE 59 Unlocking the bail latch

NOTE
The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the SFP transceiver.
4.Grasp the bail latch and pull the transceiver out of the port.

Interpreting nonport-side LEDs
There are no LEDs found on the nonport-side view of the Ruckus ICX 7150 devices.
Pinging an IP address
To verify that a device can reach another device through the network, enter a command similar to the following at any level of the CLI.
device> ping 10.33.4.7
NOTE
If you address the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses.
Tracing a route
To determine the path through which a device can reach another device, enter a command similar to the following at any level of the CLI on
the device.
The CLI displays trace route information for each hop as soon as the information is received. Traceroute requests display all responses to a
given TTL. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the device displays up to two responses by default.
Digital optical monitoring
You can configure your device to monitor optical transceivers in the system, either globally or by specified port. When digital optical
monitoring is enabled, the system monitors the temperature and signal power levels for the optical transceivers in the specified ports.
Console messages and syslog messages are sent when optical operating conditions fall below or rise above the SFP and SFP+
manufacturer’s recommended thresholds. For more information about digital optical monitoring, refer to the
Configuration Guide
.
Ruckus FastIron Monitoring
Monitoring power and cooling
If the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and use the
show chassis command to verify that the temperature is below the shutdown threshold. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the
internal power supply may be defective. In this case, contact Brocade Technical Support for assistance.
The device contains temperature sensors that the software reads based on a configurable device poll time. The device has two automatic
speed fan control settings based on the temperature. To protect the device from overheating, the following temperature threshold levels
exist:
•The warning level is the temperature at which the device generates a syslog message. It is configurable up to 100°C (212°F).
•The shutdown level is the temperature at which the device reboots. It is set by the device and is not configurable. When the device
temperature reaches the shutdown level, it generates a warning message that the device’s temperature is over the shutdown level
and the device shuts down in two minutes. The system restarts 120 seconds after the device reaches the temperature shutdown
level.
The switch fans have two speeds, low and high. The fan speed settings are set by the device, and are not configurable. During system
bootup, the fans run at high speed. After bootup, the fans operate at low speed when the temperature of the switch is below the high limit
temperature that is specified in the following table. If the switch reaches the high limit temperature, the fans operate at high speed until the
switch reaches the low limit temperature specified in the table, at which time the fans decrease to low speed. If the switch reaches or
exceeds the critical (shutdown) temperature for two minutes, the switch shuts down.
NOTE
In addition to the overall temperature of the device, the PoE-supported models monitor the temperature of the Power over
Ethernet (PoE) power supply unit (PSU). When the low limit and high limit temperatures are reached, the PoE PSU fans change
speed using the same algorithm as the module fans. There is no change to the Critical (shutdown) temperature value for these
modules.
TABLE 26 Temperature thresholds
ModelLow limit temperatureHigh limit temperatureCritical (shutdown) temperature
To display the temperature of a device, enter the show chassis command at any level of the CLI. The show chassis command displays the
current temperature, the power supply status, and temperature threshold levels. The displayed temperature reflects the temperature of the
board inside the device.
