Overview
Direct management of Ruckus ICX switches can be performed using either a command line interface (CLI) or a web graphical user
interface (GUI). By default, only the CLI is enabled. This guide explains how to access the CLI, enable the web GUI, and secure all
configuration access methods.
The web GUI allows full configuration and monitoring of Layer 2 functions, QoS, ACL, authentication, PoE, performing software
updates, and more.
Connecting to the Console
There are two ways to connect to the configuration console of a new Ruckus ICX switch: either with a Telnet/SSH session over an
IP network or directly through the serial interface.
Telnet or SSH
If a Ruckus ICX switch is connected to a network, it will automatically issue DHCP requests for an IP configuration, which will be
provided by a DHCP server. Identifying the IP address that has been assigned to the switch can be done by viewing the address
assignment list on the DHCP server or by the switch serial interface (using the show ip command).
Once the IP address of the switch is known, a Telnet or SSH session can be established using a terminal emulation program.

on page 5.
NOTE
The ICX7150-24F, ICX7150-C08P, and ICX7150-C10ZP switches ship from the factory with SSH enabled and Telnet
disabled. All other switches have Telnet enabled only.
Serial
Ruckus ICX 7150 and Ruckus ICX 7650
The Ruckus ICX 7150 presents a USB Type-C connection, which can be connected directly to the USB port on a PC using a
standard USB cable. Any standard USB Type-C–to–Type-A cable can be used; if you wish to purchase the cable from Ruckus, the
part number is CC-USBC-USBA.
The Ruckus ICX 7150 and ICX 7650 switches also present a standard serial interface through an RJ45 connector. An RJ45-to-DB9F
cable is included with each switch and, if required, additional cables can be ordered from Ruckus using part number CC-RJ45-
DB9, which is comprised of the following two parts:
•
RJ45 to RJ45: Part number 50-1000117-01
•
RJ45 to DB9F: Part number 50-0000112-01
Details of the pin allocations of the serial cable are available in the
Ruckus ICX 7150 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
.
Ruckus ICX 7250 and Ruckus ICX 7450
The Ruckus ICX 7250 and ICX 7450 switches present their serial interface through a mini-USB type connector, and every switch is
shipped with a serial cable that terminates on both RJ45 and DB9 connections. The following two parts ship with every switch:
•
Mini-USB to RJ45: Part number 50-1000122-01
•
RJ45 to DB9F: Part number 50-0000112-01
If required, these two parts can be ordered using part number CC-miniusb-RJ45.
