ICX Switch Management

In this section:

  1. ICX Switch Management Overview
    Beginning with Unleashed 200.8, the administrator can monitor and manage RUCKUS ICX switches and routers in the ICX 7000 series and above. Unleashed can manage up to 8 switches at a time. Beginning with Unleashed 200.15, Unleashed supports 16 ICX switches in the Dedicated mode.
  2. Preparing an ICX Switch for Unleashed Management
  3. Approving a New Switch to Join Unleashed
    Once an ICX switch has been discovered, it is listed in the web interface as "pending" until the administrator approves the join request by entering the switch admin user name and password (if auto-approval is disabled).
  4. Monitoring Connected ICX Switches
    Expand the Switches dashboard component and select a connected switch to view general information, port status, health details, and events and alarms on the selected switch.
  5. Managing Switch Ports
    The "Ports Info" link expands to display information on overall switch status such as the number of ports used and available and PoE power budget usage. Individual switch ports can be managed by selecting the specific port from the switch port diagram or from the port list table below.
  6. Audio-Visual Profile Support for an ICX Switch
    An Audio-Visual (AV) profile manages and optimizes audio and video signals over an IP network, such as a local area network (LAN) or the internet, to provide scalable, flexible, and reliable audio-visual delivery systems.
  7. Fanless Mode Support for an ICX Switch
    Fanless mode, when enabled, allows the device to run silently with zero RPM fan speed, while limiting the Power over Ethernet (PoE) budget to 150 Watts.
  8. Backing up and Restoring a Switch Configuration
    RUCKUS Unleashed ICX switch management provides tools for performing a backup of the current ICX switch configuration and restore to a previously saved configuration backup file.
  9. Backing up and Restoring a Switch List
    RUCKUS Unleashed ICX switch management provides tools for performing a backup of the current ICX switch list and restore to a previously saved configuration backup file. Use the Backup ICX List and Restore ICX List options when you want to reset a switch to factory default settings to join a new RUCKUS Unleashed system.
  10. Upgrading ICX Switch Firmware
    Unleashed management requires FastIron firmware version 08.0.90 or later.
