Enabling Management via FlexMaster
If you have a Ruckus Wireless FlexMaster server installed on the network, you can

ZoneDirector and other supported Ruckus Wireless devices. This version of Zone-
Director supports the following FlexMaster-deployed tasks:
• Firmware upgrade for both ZoneDirector and the APs that report to them
• Reboot
• Backup of ZoneDirector settings
