Default Switch Credentials
RUCKUS AV switches use the following default credentials:
• Username: super
• Password: sp-admin
After the first login, you will be prompted to change the default password.
Managing Your AV Switch in RUCKUS Unleashed
Unleashed automatically discovers an out-of-the-box RUCKUS AV switch
because the switch contains factory default settings, allowing the
Unleashed Master AP to connect to the AV switch.
Step 1: Powering Up the AV Switch
Place the AV switch on a flat surface or mount it on a wall or a rack. For
more information on installation options, refer to the RUCKUS ICX 8200
Switch Hardware Installation Guide.

Complete the following steps to power on the AV switch.
1. Connect the US power cable to the 100-240 VAC power source.
If you require a different power cable, refer to the
Guide.
2. After the device has booted, verify that the power and status LEDs are
blue.
The power supply LEDs display amber until the power-on self-test
(POST) is complete, and then change to blue. The switch usually
requires several minutes to boot and complete POST. For more
information on the LED behavior, refer to Understanding LED Behavior
on page 2.
Step 2: Assigning an IP Address to the AV Switch
Complete one of the following steps depending on the IP address
assignment method on your network.
1. With DHCP services, use any of the LAN ports on the AV switch to
connect to the LAN network. The DHCP client in the AV switch is
configured to get an IPv4 address automatically after it boots up.
2. In a LAN without DHCP services, connect to the serial port on the AV
switch and manually configure an IPv4 address. For more information,
refer to Connecting to the Serial Port of the AV Switch and
Configuring a Static IP Address on page 2.
Step 3: Discovering the AV Switch in Unleashed
Once the switch has acquired an IP address, complete one of these steps
in the Unleashed UI to discover the AV switch, depending on how the
Unleashed AP is connected to the AV switch.
1. In a network topology where the Unleashed AP is directly connected
to one of the ports on the AV switch, the Unleashed AP will
automatically discover the AV switch; no additional actions are
required. The AV switch will be listed in the Switches component in
the Unleashed UI.

2. In a network topology where the AV switch is not directly connected
to the Unleashed AP, the AP must be able to reach the AV switch
through the LAN network. Use the manual procedure in the
Unleashed UI to discover the AV switch. For more information on how
to manually add an AV switch, refer to Adding an AV Switch to
Unleashed Manually on page 3.

Upon discovery, the Master AP securely accesses the AV switch via
SSH using the default credentials, configures enhanced SNMP
settings, and provisions new command-line interface (CLI) credentials
for the AV switch. This enables the switch to seamlessly integrate into
the Unleashed.
Step 4: Approving an AV Switch to Join Unleashed
If the Auto-Approval option is enabled, the AV switch is automatically
approved and you may skip this step. If the Auto-Approval option is
disabled or the switch is not in the factory default state, then once an AV
switch has been discovered, it is listed in the web interface as "Pending"
until the administrator approves the join request.
Complete the following steps in the Unleashed UI to manually approve a
new AV switch to join Unleashed.
1. In the Unleashed dashboard, expand the Switches component and
select an AV switch that is marked as "Pending" in the list on the left
side of the page.

2. Click Approve.
3. If the AV switch is not in factory default state, the Unleashed Master
AP is unable to login using the default username and password. Click
Continue to manually enter the login credentials.
4. In the Approve Switch to Join Unleashed dialog box, enter the
default credentials in the Admin Name and Password fields to
authenticate to the AV switch.
5. Click OK. Unleashed immediately attempts to verify and approve the
AV switch. If successful, the AV switch status will change to
Connecting before joining Unleashed.
