Anyone know how to disable directed DHCP on Ruckus Unleashed

Question

I have a problem with directedDHCP and clients using VM Ware or Parallels. I have the directions for disabling this feature on Zone Directors but those do not work with Ruckus Unleashed. Can anyone help?

Hello Kevin,

I have a question into Product Marketing for you.  In general, Ruckus does not support CLI commands,
AP or Controller, but will entertain Feature Requests to incorporate necessary functions into the WebUI.  
While that is true and desired, Unleashed APs for example, built on ZoneFlex, do have some AP CLI
capabilities.  What you'll find, is a simple 'rskcli:' prompt after logging into Member APs, and 'ruckus>'
after logging into Master/Standby Master APs, and they have standalone AP or ZD type commands each.

I've done some testing and think I have a feasible workaround for you to test your theory about helping
VMware/parallel clients, and I hope you can report back with your findings.  Please SSH directly to your
Member APs, and disable directed DHCP, then gracefully (one at a time until another AP takes over the
role) disconnect your current Master/Standby Master APs, and configure them when they've joined back
with Member AP roles.

SSH to Member AP:       (works)

rkscli:

rkscli: set qos directedDHCP disable

Direcet DHCP is Disabled

OK

rkscli:

SSH to Standby Master AP:     (won't work, not in enable, not in Debug)

Please login: admin
