Introduction This document provides release information on FlexMaster, ZoneDirector and supported ZoneFlex Access Point platforms, along with known issues, caveats, workarounds, upgrade details, and interoperability information for version 9.7.1. NOTE: By downloading this software and subsequently upgrading the ZoneDirector and/or the AP to version 9.7.1, please be advised that: • The AP may send a query to Ruckus containing the AP’s serial number. The purpose is to enable your AP to autonomously connect with a wireless LAN controller (vSCG) operated by your choice of cloud service provider. Ruckus may transmit back to the AP, the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address of the controller that the AP will subsequently attempt to join. Please be advised that this information may be transferred and stored outside of your country of residence where data protection standards may be different. 2. What’s New in This Release For a list of features that have been added in this release, see the “What’s New in ZoneFlex 9.7” document, available from the Ruckus Wireless support website.

(ID ER-1169) Page 8 of 11 Ruckus Wireless® ZoneFlex version 9.7.1 (9.7 MR1) Release Notes 6. Caveats, Limitations and Known Issues This section lists the caveats, limitations, and known issues for FlexMaster, ZoneDirector and ZoneFlex Access Points in this version. Please also refer to previous (e.g., 9.6, 9.7) Release Notes documents for previously documented caveats and limitations. 6.1. ZoneDirector 6.1.1. Ethernet Port Settings 6.1.2. ZoneDirector 1100 and ZoneFlex AP Ethernet ports can become disabled if half-duplex is forced on any port. (ID ER-1208, ER-1229) This problem affects the following: • ZoneDirector: ZD 1100 • APs: ZoneFlex 7341, 7343, 7351, 7363, 7761, 7762, and 7962. Workaround: Uplink switch ports must be set to 100Mbps auto-negotiation or 1000Mbps auto-negotiation. 6.1.3. General 6.1.4. ZoneDirector’s Blocked Clients list is inactive for Autonomous WLANs when a L2 ACL is assigned to the WLAN. Workaround: Copy individual clients to the assigned L2 ACL. (ID ER-1179, FR-899) 6.1.5. ZoneDirector’s Rogue AP list fails to display rogue APs on channels other than the AP’s service channel when one of the AP’s WLANs service schedule is off. (ID ZF-7789) Workaround: First change WLAN service schedule to ‘always on’. Rogue APs should now show up for other channels. Now the unused WLANs can be removed from the WLAN group. 6.1.6. The Map View page fails to load with an "Application Blocked" message when viewing with the latest Java version. The new version of Java does not allow users to run unsigned or self-signed applications or applications that are missing permission attributes. (ID ZF-7779) Workaround: Add ZoneDirector’s Map View page to the Exception Site List in the Java Control Panel. Start the Java Control Panel, under the Security Tab, click Edit Site List and add the following: https://[zd-ip-address]/admin/mon_map.jsp 6.1.7. When ZD is upgraded from 9.5 / 9.6 to 9.7.1, if dynamic VLAN is configured on a dot1x WLAN, the following user configuration is required to be added to the RADIUS server: Tunnel-Medium-Type must be set as 6.
