Is the ZoneDirector 1200 after an upgrade from 9.9.0.0 to 10.1.2.0.210 still compatible with R300 APs?

unknown

Hi there,
i am very new to Ruckus and inherited a Ruckus environment with a ZD 1200 on FW 9.9.0.0 and 10x R300 APs, which are also on FW 9.9.0.0, from the former IT Manager. I just managed to get a quick overview over the whole network devices and want to check the compatibility with new firmwares and updates. The Article about the R300 states them as EOL but i wasn't able to find information about whether they are still compatibil with the newest FW for the ZD1200 or not. I hope you can give me a quick answer to this one or where i can find the information about it.

Plus i want to add about 11x R510 for a new floor. Do they need a minimum FW for the ZD1200 to work or something like that?

Thank you for your time!
Best regards

Fynn

Hi Fynn,

R300
are EOS (End of Sale) which is very different to EOL (End of Life). 
Once a product reaches EOS, it is no longer available to purchase and it
may no longer be supported by new firmware versions that have
enhancements the EOS device cannot support due to hardware limitations.

To
check supported software versions for Zone Director (and any Ruckus
platform), download the firmware Release Notes documents.  Supported AP
platforms are detailed in the release notes.

I've
checked the Release Notes for firmware version 10.1.2 Refresh 1- and
the R300 is supported.  However I notice it is no longer supported in
10.2.x

The 10.1.2. Release notes are available here:  https://support.ruckuswireless.com/documents/2614-zonedirector-10-1-2-mr2-refresh1-release-notes

I'm also pleased to confirm that 10.1.2 supports R510 for your network expansion also.

I hope that helps.

Regards,
Darrel.
