Ran back through the documentation following everything step by step and I think the issue is not that it cant reach the tftp...

Code: 
ICX7250-48P Router#copy tftp flash 192.168.1.163 ICX7xxx\SPR08095mufi.bin primary
ICX7250-48P Router#
!!! Downloading this application image can result in application-boot image mismatch. Please use UFI image.
The code type 0 is not correct for the target hardware, abort!
File Type Check Failed

TFTP to Flash Error - code 8
so I see The code type 0 is not correct for the target hardware, abort!

You would only get this error if the switch was already on a later UEFI image, or a very old image that has no UFI support yet - neither of these would be the case if you followed the first step of the guide, which flashes a compatible OS version for this from the bootloader, it sounds like you skipped this section entirely - ICX7250 / ICX7450 - Fohdeesha Docs

Until the complete log is seen anything could have happened but at least OP's issues got resolved.

Rest easy @fohdeesha because your instructions are spot on. No errors going from whatever to 08090 then 08095 for me. The only annoyance was I decided to use Windows and had to set the network connection profile to Private after every reset using PowerShell or else the default firewall blocked tftp.

Ruckus's 09.0.10 Upgrade guide recommends (emphasis mine):
​
NOTE
If you are upgrading an ICX switch for the first time from a version earlier than FastIron 08.0.95, RUCKUS recommends that you upgrade
to FastIron 08.0.95d as the intermediate version and then upgrade to FastIron 09.0.10a or later. This step is required to ensure that the
FPGA version is compatible with the target release.​

Any idea what's up with my ICX7150 when updating to 09.0.10? https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...be-40gbe-switching.21107/page-472#post-417238

Defective NAND? Some leftovers in the filesystem?

I have an offer for a ICX7250 on ebay but it's shipment from US to Germany and the seller says it's 8 x 1G uplinks, upgradable to 8 x 10G. Do I get it right that I just will have to install the so called honor license and will get 10G or will I have to spend even more money to get the 10G upgrade?

nahh didnt skip it but I am not complaining about your instructions... very very appreciative!!!!
I did do a video of it and hope i saved it! will try and post it if I did, then you can see what i might have missed.

I can't say if it's the latest 9.0.10 but I will be rolling back. (7250-48P)

POE for my 2 ubiquiti APs (2P-IEEEE class 4) as reported by the switch rarely turns on. Usually have to run:
Code: 
inline power non-pd-detection enable
write mem
reload
Without reboot, POE problem is not resolved.
though this is enabled by default according to this document, though I doubt this is the correct thing to run:
Support for PoE Legacy Power-Consuming Devices
However this behavior is not consistent. Many times it takes 20+ minutes for POE to enable for my 2 APs if it happens at all, and usually only on soft reboot. Cold boot rarely works. Another thing of note like many others, warm reboot keeps the fans on stage 2.....usually. Regardless, fan stage 2 triggers almost every 20 minutes. Sometimes for hours even though it was cold last night in the house. Switch is in an unventilated closet, but I did leave the door open. HVAC to be installed within the year....as I have plans for ~20 POE devices.

Setup:
PFSense Router/Firewall
Brocade 7250-48P
APs on 1/1/13 and 1/1/15


To tackle another day as I need wifi up for the family first (though it is up now...)
Am only getting 1.2Gbps-1.4Gbps between two 10Gb hosts via iPerf3 on same subnet which are both directly connected to the switch.
Pfsense (iPerf Server) on Xeon D-1541 w Intel XX7710-DA2 w both 10Gb-SR and 25Gb-SR transceivers (tested both)
Proxmox (iPerf Client ) on Denverton C3758 w X550-T2 to Copper Tranciever
Both reporting auto neg of full duplex 10Gbps....
In process of building 3 more 10Gb hosts and then starting my path to 25Gbps and 100Gbps....just because.

The goal will be moving this to L3 routing, but needed it up quickly to test the fiber/cat 6a drops I did throughout the house, figured start stupid simple.

EDIT: Redacted as 10GB works and closet HVAC installed....no more speed/heat problems.

Got the same switch, same firmware and not seeing that on any of my APs. Have you tried using other ports on the switch?

I just got my 7250-24P and I modded it with 2 times MF40201VX-1000U-G99DC. At first everything looked ok when I ran it in testing. Now I replaced my older switch with the Ruckus and sadly the fans are spinning up every x minutes.

Code: 
Fan controlled temperature:
    Rule 1/2 (MGMT THERMAL PLANE): 84.5 deg-C
    Rule 2/2 (AIR OUTLET NEAR PSU): 39.5 deg-C
It looks like this after the fans spun up and colled it down. Then it will slowly go up to like 93 °C and then the fans go up to like 8k rpm. When they are slow they are on like 3k rpm.

I'm on
Code: 
Stack unit 1:
  Compressed Pri Code size = 33554432, Version:08.0.95mT213 (SPR08095m.bin)
  Compressed Sec Code size = 33554432, Version:08.0.95mT213 (SPR08095m.bin)
  Compressed Pri Boot Code size = 786944, Version:10.1.26T215 (spz10126)
  Compressed Sec Boot Code size = 786944, Version:10.1.26T215 (spz10126)
  Code Flash Free Space = 1551749120
I have connected like 6 x 1G and 4 x 10G. There is no PoE client. Apart from like 20 VLANs I've only setup one ve in VLAN 51 where I route by.
Do you have any suggestions? I'd much rather have the fans spin a bit faster in general instead of them going up every like 10 minutes.
The fans fans specs say: 18.25m3/h and 10.3 cfm.
Also the ping to the switch every x minutes goes to like 3-4 seconds latency the CLI via SSH becomes unresponsive for like a couple seconds during that time.

Add a fan to the ASIC heat sink. I used a Sunon MF60101V3-1000U-A99 in my 7250-48P.

I also suspect the fans you swapped in aren't really up to the task (10.3 feels kinda low to me, I think something in the 17-19 range would be better), but you'd have to see if the ASIC solution at least got you in a comfortable range.

how do I connect the fan? The two chassis fan port are already taken.
