Disabling MAC address encryption

By default, MAC address encryption is enabled on Ruckus SZ devices and will cause Aiwifi to malfunction. In order to disable it, you will need to access your controller CLI via SSH, enable privileged commands, enter config mode, then execute the command “no encrypt-mac-ip”:\

Example:

Copy

ruckus> enable
ruckus# config
ruckus(config)# no encrypt-mac-ip

It might be the case that you have a firewall that blocks traffic between the WiFi device and the controller. You might either have explicit blocking rules on the firewall, or simply have separate VLANs for the guests and the controller and the traffic between them might be blocked as well. In this case you have to unlock specific ports. For example:

• 8090 TCP

• 8099 TCP

• 9997 TCP

• 9998 TCP
