Ruckus Wireless ZoneDirector ZD1100 Upgrade Instructions Download Page 3

   

   

Pre-­‐condition:

   Two   ZD1100   forming   a   Smart   Redundancy   pair.   In   this   document,   

the   Active   ZD   is   called   ZD1,   standby   ZD   is   called   ZD2.   APs   are   joined   to   ZD1.   The   ZD   
release   could   be   either   9.4.2   or   higher   or   9.5.   The   procedure   to   upgrade   is:   

   

1)

 

Uncheck   the   first   box   marked   “Automatically   approve   all   join   
requests”   This   ensures   that   those   installations   with   multiple   

ZoneDirectors   installed   will   not   have   APs   joining   the   wrong   
ZoneDirector.   

2)

 

In   ZD1,   configure   the   primary   and   secondary   Zone   Director   fields   

with   their   respective   IP   addresses.   This   can   be   done   via   the   ZD   
GUI.   Click   on   the   “Configure”   tab   on   the   top   of   the   page.   Click   on   

Access   point   on   the   left   side   of   the   window.   Scroll   down   to   ”Access   
Point   Policies”.      

   

   

   

   

3)

 

Click   the   “Apply”   button   on   the   far   right.   You   should   see   a   message   
“your   changes   have   been   saved”.   To   verify   the   changes   were   

implemented,   SSH   into   the   ZD   Command   Line   Interface   and   follow   
this   example.   

   

IMPORTANT:   Failure   to   follow   this   procedure   could   result   in   having   to   
replace   (RMA)   one   of   the   ZoneDirectors.   It   is   critical   that   the   9.5   or   higher   

upgrade   only   be   performed   when   the   ZoneDirectors   are   in   standalone   
mode.   If   N+1   Redundancy   has   been   previously   configured   contact   Ruckus   
Technical   Support.
