its going to depend on the what fdti cable you have. some of them are only 3.3v logic and all though you can "see" the output from the switch you can't actually send any commands because the high to low is only 3.3v and not enough to actually trigger a signal. pleanty of people have posted about this but the tl;dr is use a standard cisco console cable, use either a rj45 keystone jack (i used a rj45 breakout adapter as an alternative) to connect the green, white & black usb wires. from there you should be able to interacte and "talk" to the switch.

upgrade my 7250-24 firmware to 0.9.0.00a today, Ambient temperature 25C, running temperature 58-61C (add 0615 fan on asic ). very satisfied for its running cool and almost silence, expect the idle power consumption.
Yeah and that's what I had bought from here:

I'd seen that others had similar problems so I'd hoped that this cable was appropriate. It seemed to match the solution that other users had, and I did have console control briefly in that screenshot, so I'm optimistic about the cable, just not sure about the switch itself since it's not spitting any console output anymore.
on second glance i saw you mentioned you had the 6450 (rj45 console), not 7250 ("usb" console), so disregard the comments on needing the custom cable. a couple things of note, these switches take a small eternity to boot so you may just need to wait longer. the older images seem to have less output during the boot process compaired to the newer ufi images. secondly did this switch ever fully boot? it might be possible it doesn't have a valid image to load. i'd suggest restart the switch and smash that
I recently boarded the ruckus train for the first time and it's pretty cool. I'm still in a process of a basic setup but it feels so close to hp that i kinda figured out with tab completion all by myself. Restricting access to vlan is a bit different for this system but will figure it out. So cool. Thanks guys.
Im not 100% sure but:
conf t
ip access-list 22 deny 192.168.10.0/24 log
ssh access-group 22
wr mem
or
conf t
int ve 10
ip access-list 22 deny ve 10
ssh access-group 22
wr mem
or
conf t
no ip ssh client 192.168.10.0/24
Im a little hesitant to try it & lose ssh but figured I would ask here first - thanks!
Here's a modified example of what I have in place.
Important note: In the above example, a host on the VLAN can access the switch via another VE IP. You can either enter the IP addresses of each VE and loopback of the switch in the rule or block access to other VLANs by default using the ACL, depending on your needs.
Code:
ip access-list extended noadmin4

exitEDIT - Sorry I missed that you already purchased the transceivers. If you can return them then...
Have you looked at AOC? If you are in the united states then pricing might be right.

Have you checked fs.com?
A 40Gb using LC is going to be a BiDi, so not cheap compared to normal home budgets and pricing for a MTP/MPO type.
Nice. That's about $30 cheaper than the Fiber cables I was looking at. And because I messed up already... I can use these as stack links or uplinks correct?
Yes I did look at FS and about choked. I figured 40G was all LC or breakout. I did not even think to check.
yes. I have some shorter ones (2m) that I used to stack (till my spare 6610's got flakey) and now use as host interconnects to a TNC filer.
btw, I did not search or look very hard. There may be some cheaper ones on the bay as well. Simply a quick check that met your criteria.
Thankyou. I added them to my watch list. I appreciate the quick response and follow up!
first, im sure there is an answer posted already some where but having a heck of a time finding it or generating a search for what im trying to find. doing my due dilagents i've combed through the forum and get the impression its possible but can't seem to find a specific answer or method? that said, my outlet temp is kicking into fan speed 2 by 1 degree. how does one go about changing the fan threshold to increase the temp the second speed kicks in? again, sorry to just ask directly but i've searching for a while and can't seem to find what i'm looking for. feel free to post a link rather than explaining if it is possible.
What is the room temperature and load of the switch? There have been reports of the heatsinks popping off the ASICs and causing hell with temps until resecured.
Unfortunately you can not log permit actions.
Hi hi,
I still don't know what I'm doing wrong and now I'm just confused as to what's happening. As dos said, the 64xx series boots slower, but I somehow am unable to reach the bootloader. The switch is booting and functional, and I can see it on my network as an ethernet connected device(even when it's only on the management ethernet port). I can even navigate to the IP and reach the login page, but I am just so confused as to what I'm doing wrong with the serial cable. I'm still not getting output on PuTTy with the cisco console cable.
