Minimum Code Level to Onboard Cloud ICX Switch

Summary

This article explains the minimum firmware requirement for an ICX switch to be onboarded and managed by Ruckus One (R1) platform

Question

  • What is the minimum code level required to onboard an ICX switch to RUCKUS One?
  • Why is my ICX switch failing to onboard to RUCKUS One?

Customer Environment

Customers using RUCKUS One to manage ICX7xxx, ICX8200, or ICX8100 series switches.

Symptoms

ICX switch fails to onboard
Device stay in "Never Contacted Cloud" status in R1 UI
Cloud discovery or registration does not complete

Root Cause

The ICX switch is not running the minimum required firmware version to initiate onboarding to RUCKUS One.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Run the following command on the switch to confirm the active firmware:
    show version
    
  2. Verify the switch firmware meets the minimum onboarding requirement:
    • ICX7xxx Series: 08.0.90d (UFI) minimum
    • ICX8200 / ICX8100: 10.0.10f_cd1R1 minimum
    • For managed firmware upgrades: RUCKUS One uses 09.0.10h as the managed baseline (do not manually upgrade unless directed by Support)

Resolution

Minimum Firmware Requirements

To onboard to RUCKUS One, ICX switches must meet the following minimum versions:

SeriesMinimum Code Level
ICX7xxx08.0.90d (UFI)
ICX8200 / ICX810010.0.10f_cd1R1
RUCKUS One Managed Firmware09.0.10h (Do not upgrade beyond this manually)

Switches labeled “Cloud-Ready” also meet onboarding requirements.


Upgrade Requirements if Running Older Firmware

If the switch is running below 08.0.90d (ICX7xxx):

Perform manual upgrades using the following recommended paths:

  • If running 08.0.80 flat ? 08.0.90c
    Upgrade directly to 08.0.95ca (UFI)

  • If running 08.0.70 patch or earlier:
    Multi?step upgrade required:

    08.0.70 (or older) ? 08.0.80f (non-UFI) ? 08.0.95ca (UFI)
