4.Slot 2 (SFP+ uplink or stacking ports)
5.Reset button - not a management interface, shown for reference only.
The reset button allows you to restart the system without switching the power supply o and on or using the CLI. When
the reset button is pressed, the system resets and the software is reloaded.
6.USB port
NOTE
24-port devices have similar front panels. For the ICX 7250-24G, the slot 2 ports are SFP ports.
Console management interface
The console management interface is a mini-USB port that allows you to congure and manage the device using a third-party
terminal emulation application from a directly connected PC or through a terminal server.
Out-of-band management interface
The out-of-band management interface is an RJ-45 port that allows you to access, congure and manage the device from the
network.
The Ruckus ICX 7250 contains the following network interfaces:
•10/100/1000 Mbps ports with RJ-45 copper connectors
•SFP or SFP+ ports
SFP ports support 1 Gbps port speed. SFP+ ports support both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps port speeds.
NOTE
Refer to the Ruckus ICX 7250 Switch Technical Specications on page 95 to see the ports supported by your model.
Slot designations
Refer to Network and management interfaces on page 14 for the location of slot 1 and slot 2 on the front panel of the 24-port
models and the 48-port models.
TABLE 3 Slot designations for ICX 7250 devices
DeviceSlot 1 (10/100/1000 BASE-T ports)Slot 2 (SFP and SFP+ ports)
All devices provide 24 or 48 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps full duplex.
Because all ports support automatic MDI or MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to
PCs, servers, or other devices or hubs. In addition, it is ideal (and preferred) to use straight-through cables for switch-to-switch
connections.
Each port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and the data rate (10, 100, or 1000
Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the
communication mode of the port can be congured manually.
SFP or SFP+ ber ports
The Ruckus ICX 7250-24G contains four small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports (ports 1 through 4). The top row contains oddnumbered ports and the bottom row contains even-numbered ports. These ports reside on slot 2 of the switch and can be used
as uplink (data) ports. These ports support 1 Gbps but not 10 Gbps port speeds.
All other Ruckus ICX 7250 devices contain eight SFP+ ports that support 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps port speeds. The top row ports are
odd numbered (ports 1, 3, 5, and 7) and the bottom row ports are even numbered (ports 2, 4, 6, and 8). All ports can be used for
stacking or uplinking.
NOTE
You may need software licenses to enable some SFP+ ports at the full 10 Gbps. Refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch
Software Licensing Guide for more information.
For information about supported SFP and SFP+ transceivers, refer to the Ruckus datasheet.

Overview
Hardware features
Specifying a port address
You can specify a port address for an uplink (data) port, a stacking port, or a management port.
Specifying a data port
The port address format is stack-unit/slot/port:
•stack-unit: Species the stack unit ID. The range is from 1 through the maximum number of devices supported in a stack.
Refer to the technical specications for your device for the actual value. If the device is not part of a stack, the stack unit
ID is 1.
•slot: Species the slot number; either 1 or 2.
•port: Species the port number in the slot. The range is from 1 through 24 (24-port models) or 1 through 48 (48-port
models) for the RJ-45 ports. For the SFP ports, the range is from 1 through 4, and for the SFP+ ports, the range is from 1
through 8.
The following example shows how to specify port 2 in slot 1 of a device that is not part of a stack:
device (config)# interface ethernet 1/1/2
Specifying a stacking port
The port address format is stack-unit/slot/port:
•stack-unit: Species the stack unit ID. For models that support stacking, the range is from 1 through the maximum
number of devices (units) that can be supported in the stack.
•slot: Species the slot number. Stacking ports are in slot 2.
•port: Species the port number in the slot.
The following example shows how to specify stacking port 3 in slot 2 of unit 3 in a stack:
device (config)# interface ethernet 3/2/3
Specifying a management port
The management port number is always 1. This example shows how to specify the management port:
device (config)# interface management 1

Power supplies
The devices have one standard C14 AC power supply receptacle on the rear panel of the device for an AC power cord that uses a
C13 connector. In addition, there is an optional connector on some models for the power cord from an external power supply
(EPS4000) that can provide DC power to the device in the event the internal power supply fails or for supplemental power for PoE
or PoE+ applications.
The following gure shows an example of a typical rear panel for an ICX 7250 device.
FIGURE 10 ICX 7250 power supply connectors
1.External power supply (EPS4000) connector
2.AC power supply socket
NOTE
The power connector for the EPS4000 is typically covered with a lid that is screwed on as shown in the following gure.
To ensure proper device cooling, keep the connector covered when not in use.
1.Fan
2.External power supply (EPS4000) connector with cover on
Depending on the conguration, each EPS4000 connection from the device to the EPS4000 can add 24 ports of PoE
(Class 3) or 12 ports of PoE+ power (54-volt supply) in addition to the internal power supply by providing system power
backup. If the overall PoE requirement is less than the power budget of 370 W (or 740 W), the device can support 24 (or
48) PoE ports. The system power (12-volt supply) portion of the EPS4000 can be used for internal system power
redundancy.

Installing the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296)
Use the following instructions to install a device in EIA racks that are between L-12.7 to 81.28 cm deep (L-5.0 to 32.0 in.), where L
is the chassis depth, using the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296).
There are two ways you can mount the device in a four-post rack:
•With the port side ush with the front posts
•With the nonport side ush with the rear posts in a recessed position
A recessed position allows a more gradual bend in the ber-optic cables connected to the switch and less interference in the
aisle at the front of the rack.
NOTE
Although this document describes how to install both single height (1U) and double height (2U) switches, the
illustrations show a 1U switch as a typical installation.
Hardware devices illustrated in these procedures are only for reference and may not depict the device you are installing
into the rack.
Installation requirements
Provide space in an EIA rack with the following minimum and maximum distances between the front and back posts.
NOTE
For 1U and 2U devices, two people are required to install the device in a rack. One person holds the device, while the
other screws in the front and rear "L" brackets.
TABLE 9 Space requirements

NoApplicable to port-side and nonport-side ush
YesApplicable to port-side ush mounts.LL-12.7 cm (L-5 in.)81.28 cm (32 in.)
YesApplicable to nonport-side ush mounts.LL81.28 cm (32 in.)
Note that if chassis depth (L) is less than 40.64 cm (16 in.), the chassis will not t into a rack with a maximum depth of 81.28 cm
(32 in.) using the universal four-post rack kit. The maximum rack depth for a chassis less than 40.64 cm (16 in.) is 81.28 cm (32 in.)
minus the dierence between the chassis depth and 40.64 cm (16 in.). For example, a chassis with a depth (L) of 35.56 cm (14 in.)
is 5.08 cm (2 in.) smaller than 40.64 cm (16 in.), so it will install into a rack with a maximum depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.) - 5.08 cm (2
in.) = 76.2 cm (30 in.).
Review the installation and facility requirements for your product before mounting the device . Refer to the Hardware InstallationGuide for your product for more information.

Connecting devices in a traditional stack
ICX 7250 devices can operate as standalone devices and also as members of traditional stacks. A stack is a group of devices—
Ruckus stackable units and their connected stacking links—that are connected so that the stack is managed as a single entity.
A traditional stack contains devices from only one model in a product family.

Installation
Connecting devices in a traditional stack
Stacking ports and trunks
There are eight SFP+ ports on the front panels of the ICX 7250 devices that support stacking, which can be used as uplink (data)
ports or as stacking ports. The following gure shows the ports in slot 2; the top row consists of ports 1, 3, 5, and 7, and the
bottom row consists of ports 2, 4, 6, and 8. The numbering for the ports in the following gure is provided in the format x/x/x and
refers to StackID/Slot/Port.
FIGURE 40 Stacking ports
Stacking conguration requirements
Before conguring the traditional stack using the CLI, physically connect the devices using stacking cables. For information about
conguring a stack, refer to the Ruckus FastIron Stacking Conguration Guide.
Traditional stack size
A traditional stack can contain a maximum of twelve ICX 7250 devices.
Stacking topologies for a traditional stack
Both linear and ring topologies are supported in a traditional stack. In a linear stack topology there is a connection between each
switch that 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. The stack uses a pair of ports (n, n+1, where n is odd and ranges from 1
through 7) even if there is only one physical connection between the devices in a stack. The physical connections must be from
an odd-numbered port to an odd-numbered port or an even-numbered port to an even-numbered port.
NOTE
The examples in the following gures show a 24-port device. The 48-port devices show the same behavior for stacking.
The following gure shows a linear stacking topology example.
•For the rst device in the stack, ports (1/2/1, 1/2/2) are being used as stacked ports.
•For the second device in the stack, ports (2/2/1, 2/2/2 and 2/2/3, 2/2/4) are being used as stacked ports.
•There is a single physical connection between device 1 and device 2 in the stack, ports 1/2/1 and 2/2/1 (odd-numbered
port to odd-numbered port). This is a stacked-port conguration.
•There are two physical connections between device 2 and device 3 in the stack. Port 2/2/3 is connected to port 3/2/7
(odd-numbered port to odd-numbered port) and port 2/2/4 is connected to 3/2/8 (even-numbered port to evennumbered port). This is a stacked-trunk conguration.
FIGURE 41 Linear stacking topology
Installation
1.First device in stack
2.Second device in stack
3.Third device in stack
In a ring stacking topology, there is an extra connection between the logical rst and last devices, forming a "ring" or "closedloop." The closed-loop connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so if one link fails, stack communications can be
maintained.

Long-reach multimode adaptor module
Ruckus ICX7150, ICX7250, and ICX7750 Ethernet switches require a long-Reach Multimode (LRM) adaptor module to support LRM
optics connections.
The Ruckus LRM adaptor module has two 280 mm Twinax tails and two corresponding SFP+ sockets which operate
independently. Power for each of the SFP+ sockets and for the adaptor is provided through the Twinax connections.
The LRM adaptor module requires FastIron software release 08.0.61 or later on the host Ruckus ICX switches. The LRM adaptor
module is not eldcongurable, rather you can apply all conguration to the host switch port. Use the show lrm-adapter
ethernet command to display the status of the LRM module.

EPS4000 external power supply
In the event of an AC power loss or internal power supply device failure, the Ruckus EPS4000 external power supply can be used
as a 12 V, backup power source to a device when any of the DC power supply ports are connected to an ICX 7250 device. The
EPS4000 requires a minimum of one RPS17 Power Supply Unit (PSU) to be functional. Proprietary DC cables are used to connect
any of the EPS DC ports of the EPS4000 to the rear EPS4000 port of an ICX 7250 device that is supported by the EPS4000. Each
RPS17 PSU can provide backup power to one ICX 7250 device. Even though a fully populated EPS4000 can monitor up to sixteen
connected devices, the EPS4000 can provide backup power without performance degradation to only four ICX 7250 devices.
NOTE
The primary source of 12 V power for an ICX 7250 device is the internal power supply. The EPS4000 is designed to serve
primarily as a backup source of 12 V power. You should service a failed ICX 7250 device as soon as possible after a 12 V
power failure is detected.
In case of a 54 V supply failure, the EPS4000 can provide power to multiple devices up to its capacity limit. You can set the system
priority for the power budget allocation for this scenario. The default is for the lower-numbered port to have the higher priority.
Should a higher priority device have a 54 V supply failure while a lower priority device is already being serviced by the PSU, the
power supply will not switch to provide power to the higher priority device to maintain continuity of service. The EPS4000 uses
the next PoE-power-budget cycle to reallocate power among the connected ICX 7250 devices.
Ruckus ICX 7250 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Part Number: 53-1003898-0865
Page 66
Installing the EPS4000
EPS4000 external power supply
In the PoE power extension mode, the EPS4000 can also provide additional power to support the PoE ports as needed. For more
information about connecting an ICX 7250 device to the EPS4000, refer to Connecting devices to the external power supply on
page 79.
Each RPS17 PSU can provide up to 740 W at 54 V and 120 W at 12 V. The RPS17 draws power from a standard AC source and
converts it to DC for use by the switches.
NOTE
The internal power supply of the ICX 7250 devices is not a eld-replaceable unit (FRU). The devices must be shut down
by administrators for replacement.
Ruckus recommends that you pay attention to the PoE or PoE+ port conguration of the device when connecting to an EPS4000.
The internal power supply of each PoE or PoE+ device has a maximum number of supported PoE or PoE+ ports. Ruckus
recommends that when the EPS4000 is used as a redundant power source for the PoE device, that the maximum number of PoE
or PoE+ ports of the external power supply must not exceed the maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports of the internal power
supply capability of each device.
The following devices are supported by the Ruckus EPS4000:
•ICX 7250-24
•ICX 7250-24P
•ICX 7250-48
•ICX 7250-48P
NOTE
The ICX 7250-24G is not supported by the EPS4000.

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.
Power precautions
CAUTION
Use a separate branch circuit for each power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails.
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.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
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.
DANGER
If the installation requires a dierent power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power
cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that denes the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark
is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
Preparing the installation site

supply. The maximum number of devices will depend on both the number of power supply units in the EPS4000 and
whether you use 1:1 cords or 1:2 cords.
4.Connect one end of the AC cord to the AC receptacle on the external power supply, and the other end to a grounded
power outlet.
5.Check the LEDs on the external power supply to ensure proper operation with the devices.
Verifying proper operation
After you have installed an external power supply, verify that the device is working properly by plugging it into a power source
and verifying that it passes the self test.
1.Connect the power cord supplied with the device to the power connector on the power supply on the rear of the device.
2.Insert the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
3.Verify that the LED for the power supply is green.
4.Verify proper operation by observing the LEDs.
LEDs for linked ports will come on during the boot process, and then all LEDs will go o. Once the boot sequence is
complete, LEDs for linked ports will come on again.

Conguring the Device
Password assignment
Complete the following steps to attach a management station to the console port.
1.Connect a PC or terminal to the console (mini-USB) port of the device.
To connect the console port to a DB9 port, you need a cable with mini-USB and DB9 connectors.
For information about locating the serial port, refer to Network and management interfaces on page 14.
The serial port has a mini-USB connector. For port pinout information, refer to Ruckus ICX 7250 Switch Technical
Specications on page 95.
NOTE
You must run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
2.Launch the terminal emulation program and set the following session parameters:
•Baud: 9600 bps
•Data bits: 8
•Parity: None
•Stop bits: 1
•Flow control: None
The console serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or SNMP workstation.
When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to display the CLI prompt in the terminal emulation
window, as shown in the following example.
device>
If you see this prompt, you are connected to the system and can proceed to Password assignment on page 84.
You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. For more information, refer to the Ruckus FastIronManagement Conguration Guide.
If you do not see the prompt, make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the Ruckus device.
Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the previously congured session settings, make
sure the terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port you attached to the Ruckus device.
Password assignment
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Ruckus strongly recommends assigning passwords. Refer
to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.
NOTE
You can assign passwords using Brocade Network Advisor if an enable password for a Super User has been congured
on the device.
The CLI contains the following access levels:
•User EXEC: The level you enter when you rst start a CLI session. At this level, you can view some system information but
you cannot congure 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 les on the ash module, saving the system conguration to ash, and clearing caches at this level.
•CONFIG: The conguration level. This level allows you to congure the system IP address and congure switching and
routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged in to the privileged EXEC level.
You can set the following levels of Enable 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 congure passwords.
NOTE
You must set a Super User password before you can set other types of passwords.
•Port Conguration: Allows read-and-write access for specic 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.
Assigning passwords
Complete the following steps to set passwords.
NOTE
Depending on the device you purchased, and the code (Layer 2 or Layer 3) loaded on your system, the router prompt is
displayed accordingly. For example, for an ICX 7250-48P device running Layer 3 code on the device, the router prompt
displays ICX 7250-48P Router> at the CLI level.
1.At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged EXEC mode:
device> enable
2.Access the conguration mode of the CLI by entering the following command:
device# configure terminal
3.Enter the following command to set the Super User password:
device(config)# enable super-user-password joe
NOTE
You must set the Super User password before you can set other types of passwords.
4.Enter the following commands to set the port conguration and read-only passwords:
device(config)# enable port-config-password john
device(config)# enable read-only-password sam
NOTE
If you forget your Super User password, refer to Recovering from a lost password on page 85.
Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.
Recovering from a lost password
By default, the CLI does not require passwords. However, if a password has been congured for the device but the password has
been lost, you can regain Super User access to the device using the following procedure.
NOTE
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 Ruckus device.
2.Reboot the device.

IP address conguration
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.
After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.
IP address conguration
You must congure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the
other management interfaces.
Ruckus devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain
Routing (CIDR) network prex 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 prex 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 signicant
("mask") bits.
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (for example, 255.255.255.0). You can change the
display to the prex format. Refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.
Devices running Layer 2 software
Use the following procedure to congure an IP address on a device running Layer 2 software.
1.At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
device> enable
2.Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, and then press Enter . This command erases the
factory test conguration if still present.
device# erase startup-config
CAUTION
Use the erase startup-cong command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system
you have already congured, the command erases the conguration. If you accidentally do erase the
conguration on a congured system, enter the write memory command to save the running
conguration to the startup-cong le.
3.Access the global conguration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
device# configure terminal
4.Congure the IP address and mask for the device.
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
Devices running Layer 3 software
Before attaching equipment to a Ruckus ICX 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 rst IP address. For subsequent
addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet.
By default, you can congure up to 24 IP interfaces on each port, virtual interface, and loopback interface. You can increase this
amount to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the size of the subnet-per-interface table.
The following procedure shows how to add an IP address and mask to a router port.
1.At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
device> enable
2.Enter the following command at the privileged EXEC level prompt, and then press Enter . This command erases the
factory test conguration if still present.
device# erase startup-config
CAUTION
Use the erase startup-cong command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system
you have already congured, the command erases the conguration. If you accidentally do erase the
conguration on a congured system, enter the write memory command to save the running
conguration to the startup-cong le.
3.Access the global conguration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
device# configure terminal
device(config)#
4.Congure the IP addresses and mask addresses for the interfaces on the router.
device(config)# interface ethernet 2
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
NOTE
You can use the ip addressip-addr/mask-bits command if you know the subnet mask length. In the previous
example, you could enter ip address 10.22.3.44/24.
Use the secondary option of the ip address command parameter if you have already congured an IP address within
the same subnet on the interface.
Conguring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software
You must congure IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software.

Conguring the Device
IP address conguration
Conguring IP addresses
You can congure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 interfaces:
•Ethernet port
•Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or "VE")
•Loopback interface
By default, you can have up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, but you can increase this number to 128 IP addresses.
NOTE
Once you congure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot congure Layer 3 interface parameters on
individual ports in the VLAN. Instead, you must congure the parameters on the virtual routing interface itself.
Assigning an IP address to an Ethernet port
Enter the following commands to assign an IP address to port 1/1/1.
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
device(config)# ip address 10.45.6.1 255.255.255.0
You also can enter the IP address and mask in CIDR format.
device># ip address 10.45.6.1/24
Assigning an IP address to a loopback interface
Loopback interfaces are always up, regardless of the states of physical interfaces. They can add stability to the network because
they are not subject to route ap problems that can occur due to unstable links between a Layer 3 device and other devices. You
can congure up to four loopback interfaces on a Layer 3 device.
You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface.
NOTE
If you congure the device to use a loopback interface to communicate with a BGP4 neighbor, you must also congure a
loopback interface on the neighbor and congure the neighbor to use that loopback interface to communicate with the
Ruckus device.
To add a loopback interface, enter the interface loopbacknum and ip address num commands similar to the following
example.
device(config)# exit
device(config)# interface loopback 1
device(config)# ip address 10.0.0.1/24
You can specify from 1 through the maximum number of virtual interfaces supported on the device by using the interface
loopback num command.. To display the maximum number of virtual interfaces supported on the device, enter the show
default values command.
Assigning an IP address to a virtual routing interface
A virtual interface is a logical port associated with a Layer 3 Virtual LAN (VLAN) congured on a Layer 3 device. You can congure
routing parameters on the virtual interface to enable the Layer 3 device to route protocol trac from one Layer 3 VLAN to the
other, without using an external router.
The device uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 1/1/1) as the MAC address for all
ports within all virtual interfaces you congure on the device.
Enter commands similar to the following to add a virtual interface to a VLAN and congure an IP address on the interface.
device(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_10.1.2.1/24
device(config-vlan-2)# untag 1/1/1 to 1/1/4
device(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1
device(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1
device(config-vif-1)# ip address 10.1.2.1/24
The rst two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN named "IP-Subnet_10.1.2.1/24" and add a range
of untagged ports to the VLAN. The router-interface command creates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN.
The last two commands change to the interface conguration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the
interface.
Deleting an IP address
Enter a command similar to the following to delete an IP address.
device(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address 10.1.2.1
This command deletes IP address 10.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.
To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command.
device(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address *
Connecting network devices
Ruckus devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other Ruckus devices.
Connectors
For port pinouts, refer to Ruckus ICX 7250 Switch Technical Specications on page 95.
Cable specications
For information about supported transceivers and cable lengths and types, refer to the Ruckus optics family datasheet.
Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another Ruckus device, a crossover cable is
required as shown in the following gure. If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it requires a straight-through cable instead
of a crossover cable.
NOTE
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. For more
information, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.

Straight-through UTP cabling is required for direct UTP attachment to workstations, servers, or routers using network interface
cards (NICs).
Fiber cabling is required for direct attachment to Gigabit NICs or switches and routers through ber ports. Refer to Connecting a
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.
For more information about this feature and how to congure it, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.
Connecting a network device to a ber port
For direct attachment from the device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, using a ber-optic transceiver, you need ber cabling
with an LC connector.
To connect the device to another network device using a ber port, you must perform the following tasks:
•Install a ber-optic transceiver (SFP or SFP+).
•Cable the ber-optic transceiver.
For instructions on installing ber-optic transceivers, refer to Installing a ber-optic transceiver on page 110.
For instructions on cabling a ber-optic transceiver, refer to Cabling a ber-optic transceiver on page 111.
For instructions on cleaning a ber-optic module, refer to Cleaning the ber-optic connectors on page 112.
Troubleshooting network connections
•For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling (at the device and the connected device) are snug.
•Verify that the device and the connected device are both powered on and operating correctly.
•Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection:
–For twisted-pair connections to an end node, use straight-through cabling.
–For ber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the device is connected to the receive port on the
connected device, and that the receive port on the device is connected to the transmit port on the connected device.
•Use the CLI to verify that the port has not been disabled through a conguration change. If you have congured an IP
address on the device, you also can use Brocade Network Advisor.
•If the other procedures do not resolve the problem, try using a dierent port or a dierent cable.
•If a 1-Gbps optic transceiver is inserted into an ICX 7250 device, you must congure the port using the speed-duplex
1000-full-master command at the interface level.
Digital optical monitoring
NOTE
10 Gbps optical transceivers are not supported on ICX 7250-24G devices.
You can congure your device to monitor optical transceivers in the system, either globally or by specied port. When this
feature is enabled, the system monitors the temperature and signal power levels for the optical transceivers in the specied
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 FastIronEthernet Switch Administration Guide.
