• The SZ144 is the second generaon mid-range rack-mountable WLAN controller plaorm developed for the Enterprise and Service

provider markets. The SZ144 is funconally equivalent to the vSZ-E virtual controller product. SZ144 is rst introduced in the soware

release 5.2.1. It cannot run any soware prior to this release. It does not support any AP zones which run the AP rmware prior to 5.2.1.

• The SZ144-D is the second generaon Data Plane hardware appliance which is funconally equivalent to the vSZ-D virtual Data Plan

product. The appliance provides turnkey deployment capabilies for customers that need a hardware appliance. The SZ144-D is managed

by a vSZ Controller only and cannot work in a standalone mode.

• Access Point (AP): Controllers support 1000 APs per zone.

Release Informaon

This SmartZone release is a Long Term (LT) release. This secon lists the version of each component in this release.

ATTENTION

It is recommended to upgrade the vSZ before updang the data plane version because if the data plane version is higher than controller

vSZ version then data plane cannot be managed by vSZ plaorm.

ATTENTION

Upgrade from release 5.2.2.0.1562 to 6.1.1.0.688 requires a patch to be installed rst. Please refer to hps://

support.ruckuswireless.com/documents/4223 for details.

SmartZone 6.1.1 (LT-GA) Release Notes

14 Part Number: 800-73141-001 Rev C

NOTE

By downloading this soware and subsequently upgrading the controller and/or the AP to release 2.5.1.0.177 (or later), you understand

and agree that:

• The AP may send a query to RUCKUS containing the AP's serial number. The purpose of this is to enable your AP to autonomously connect

with a wireless LAN controller operated by your choice of cloud service provider. Ruckus may transmit back to the AP the Fully Qualied

Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address of the controller that the AP will subsequently aempt to join.

• You also understand and agree that this informaon may be transferred and stored outside of your country of residence where data

protecon standards may be dierent.

ATTENTION

It is strongly recommended to reboot the controller aer restoring the conguraon backup.

Dynamic Signature Package (Sigpack) Update

Administrators or users can dynamically upgrade Sigpack from the RUCKUS support site.

For manual upgrade, follow below steps:

1. Download Signature package by vising the RUCKUS support site:

• Regular Sigpack only for controller release 6.1.1: hps://support.ruckuswireless.com/soware/3473-smartzone-6-1-1-0-0-

sigpack-1-590-1-regular-applicaon-signature-package

• Non-Regular Sigpack for 6.1.1 and older releases: hps://support.ruckuswireless.com/soware/3474-smartzone-6-1-1-0-0-

sigpack-1-590-1-applicaon-signature-package

2. Manually upgrade the signature package by navigang to Security > Applicaon Signature package.

NOTE

More details can be found in Administrator Guide, in secon Working with Applicaon Signature Package

If 802.11ac Wave 1 APs are on legacy rmware (AP rmware prior to R6.1.1 release), you cannot download the current Sigpack version 1-590-1

regular Sigpack but can download the current non-regular Sigpack. If 802.11ac Wave 1 APs are on on R6.1.1 rmware, clients can download both

1-590-1 regular and non regular signature packs. [SCG-123375]

NOTE

As R5.1.x to R6.1.1 release upgrade is not supported, RUCKUS does not have any signature-package upgrade restricons during Zone

upgrade.

Supported Matrix and Unsupported Models

Before upgrading to this release, check if the controller is currently managing AP models, IoT and Switch feature matrix.

APs precongured with the SmartZone AP rmware may be used with SZ300, SZ100, or vSZ in their nave default conguraon. APs factory-

congured with the ZoneFlex-AP rmware may be used with the controller when LWAPP discovery services are enabled.

LWAPP2SCG must be disabled on controller if Solo AP's running 104.x being moved under SZ Management. To disable the LWAPP2SCG service on

the controller, log on to the CLI, and then go to enable > mode > cong > lwapp2scg > policy deny-all. Enter Yes to save your changes.

sll connect to the SmartZone controller. Aer the switch is connected, you must upgrade it to a rmware version that is compable with

the SmartZone controller version. This can be achieved using the switch rmware upgrade opon in the Switch Group or by selecng one

or more switches and performing the upgrade.

NOTE

ICX switches with FIPS mode enabled do not support management by SmartZone.

While not sending BTM response has not aected roaming or latency, the BTM request from the

AP will contain the preferred roam candidate, and perhaps. when there's high populaon of AP's

in same BSS (Basic Service Set), the staon may not have all the roaming assistance needed to

make the correct decision.
