Add New APs to Ruckus ZoneDirector 1200

[davidstallwood]

Hi, We currently have a Ruckus Zone Director 1200 with about 50 x R510 Access Points. Does anyone know if it's possible to add newer APs to the system or is the R510 AP the most up to date it will take?

Hi David, what firmware are you running?

 

If running the latest version 10.5 you can run the Wi-Fi 6 portfolio, like R550, R650 etc.

 

You can still continue to add licenses/support - please note the ZD1200 will go EOL in October 2027.

 

Should you need any support with licenses, support, AP - or just general advice, please feel free to PM or email me at [email protected]

Hi Josh, thanks for reaching out. Our ZD1200 is running version 10.0.0.0 Build 1424. We currently have no support upgrade entitlement but need to add APs onto the system. According to the System Info we are licensed for 50 APs & currently have 48.

Running in v10 you will be able to run all the RX10 series (R510, R610, R710 etc), plus the R720. With no Support contract in place, you wouldn't be able to upgrade beyond that code. You should be able to find some RX10 series APs on Ebay etc. If you struggle, I can see if any clients of ours have any they would be looking to sell post upgrades.

 

With your licenses, you can obviously add 2x APs to your estate with no need for further licenses. Pretty sure you can still add additional licenses to your estate even without a Support contract in place to expand beyond that 50 Ap count. I will double check that for you.
