Managing Network Devices: Switches

In this section:

1. Adding a Switch
   From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can add supported ICX switches to your RUCKUS One account. Alternatively, you can use the RUCKUS One Mobile App to scan the QR code on the ICX switches and add them to your RUCKUS One account.
2. Adding a Stack
   A switch stack forms a single logical switch from multiple ICX units and determines unified management, role election (Active/Standby/Member), and high‑availability forwarding for the stack in RUCKUS One.
3. Viewing the Switch List
   On the RUCKUS One Switch List tab, you can view the status and identifier information for all RUCKUS ICX switches associated with your RUCKUS One account.
4. Viewing More Details
   From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view the detailed information about the switch such as switch model, serial number, firmware version, uptime, and venue.
5. Viewing the Switch Panel
   You can view details about the ICX switch panel, such as the port-side, non-port side, traffic trends, and floor plans, from the RUCKUS One web interface.
6. Resetting a PoE Switch Port Using Power Cycling
   You can enable or disable a PoE port on an ICX switch using the Cycle PoE option in the RUCKUS One web interface.
7. Viewing Switch Status
   From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view the status of a switch.
8. Viewing Ports of a Switch
   From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view the port configuration of a switch.
9. Enabling Port MAC Security and Configuring Sticky MAC Globally
   Sticky MAC allows dynamic learning of the MAC addresses as devices connect to a switch port. You can enable sticky MAC globally on individual switch ports.
10. Recovering an Error-Disabled Port Automatically
    RUCKUS One enables a port to recover automatically from an error-disabled state by providing error disable recovery options at the switch level. Configuring this option eliminates the need for manual intervention each time a port becomes error-disabled.
11. Managing a Switch LAG
    You can manage a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) for a specific RUCKUS ICX switch, including adding, editing, and deleting a LAG.
12. Editing a Switch Port
    From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can edit a single switch port or multiple ports at the same time. You can configure VLANs, security, PoE, port speed/duplex, and AV profiles (on supported ICX 8200‑AV models) to optimize performance and policy enforcement.
13. Configuring a Custom PoE Schedule for a Switch Port
    A custom PoE schedule allows you to control when PoE is enabled or disabled for a specific switch port during a specific time frame.
14. Viewing Routed Interfaces
    From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view the routed interfaces of a switch.
15. Adding VLAN Interfaces (VEs)
    You can select a switch from a venue and add Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) interfaces, otherwise known as Virtual Ethernets (VEs), to it.
16. Configuring a VLAN at the Switch Level
    You can configure VLAN settings on a per-ICX switch basis from the RUCKUS One web interface.
17. Viewing ACLs
    From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view the ACL configuration of a switch.
18. Adding and Managing a MAC ACL on a Switch
    You can add and manage a MAC Access Control Lists (ACLs) on switch ports from the RUCKUS One web interface.
19. Viewing the Port Profiles of a Switch
    From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view the port profiles of a switch.
20. Viewing Switch Incidents
    Incident analytics offers a comprehensive solution to address service incident occurrences related to switches. For any given incident, you can view the severity, client impact, root cause, and recommendations, as well as the events, anomalies, data, or problems that were used to identify the incident. From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view the incidents pertaining to a switch.
21. Troubleshooting a Switch Connection
    RUCKUS One provides the ability to test connectivity between any selected switch and a given network.
22. Viewing Switch Clients
    You can view the information about the clients that are associated with an ICX switch. The information includes hostname, operating system (OS), IP address, model name, MAC address, client description, ports, and VLAN, and device type.
23. Configuration Management
24. Viewing DHCP Pool
    From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view and configure DHCP pool and enable or disable the DHCP service.
25. Viewing DHCP Lease
    The DHCP Leases sub tab is unavailable in the latest web UI.
    From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view the information on DHCP lease.
26. Viewing Switch Timeline
    From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view the activities and events in the Timeline page.
27. Managing a LAG
    You can select a switch from a venue and manage the LAG configuration of the switch.
28. Viewing Routing Table of a Switch
    From the RUCKUS One web interface, you can view the routing table of a switch.
29. Switch Management Options
30. Syncing Switch Data
    You can manually synchronize a switch to pull the latest configuration and operational status into RUCKUS One.
31. Starting a CLI Session
    You can start a CLI session in RUCKUS One to open a remote login window for the selected switch.
32. Rebooting a Switch
    You can reboot a switch from the RUCKUS One interface to refresh its operation or resolve temporary issues.
33. Deleting a Switch
    You can delete a switch from your RUCKUS One account when it is no longer needed or managed.
34. Viewing the Wired Network Insights
    The Wired Network Insights page provides historical insights into switch activity, traffic utilization, PoE usage, network errors, and traffic trends across the wired network. The page includes traffic and error trends, switch availability information, and analytics based on switch models and port speeds.
