DCSW, the ZD is meant mostly for an enterprise deployment in campus or similar. In order to better scale and expand your deployment, I would highly recommend a virtual SmartZone controller. This will allow you to have all your offices managed and controlled from a single location, I've successfully managed APs located in Hong Kong from my vSZ cluster located in Florida, US with no issues and with very good accuracy.
Of course, as with any very far away deployment, you have to consider keep alive time outs and may want to increase those a bit just in case, but it works great with default settings for me.
In addition, you can essentially create what would be an enterprise controller (a zone) for each office, each can contain the same configuration, or can be different, up to how you want to deploy it. And since you are not tunneling the user traffic back to the controller, you will be using very low overhead on the remotely managed controller. The SmartZone controls the APs using SSH and not LWAPP which can be more resource heavy and thus potentially cause a bit more of a problem.
However, this is not to say that you can not use the ZD for this deployment, I simply would recommend the vSZ instead for scalability factors as well as ease of management, configuration and maintenance.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
You may come across an issue on remote AP's when AP’s are stuck in aprovisioning loop.
This can be caused by one of the 2 following issues:
1. MTU
Solution:
Setthe LWAPP MTU to 1250
2. QoS settings on ZD

The values highlighted need to be set are per the below:
ToS DATA TUNNEL = 0x00ToS CTRL TUNNEL = 0x00
This can be done usingthis command:
ruckus# set_qos sys tunnel-tos-val data 0x00
and
ruckus# set_qos sys tunnel-tos-val ctrl 0x00
It is mainly caused when 3rdparty switches can have traffic marked differently and prevent the AP fromtaking their config.
Thanks Max. That is correct. Also, ZD uses LWAPP for transport which is heavier in overhead than SSH for the purpose of managing the APs.
But, mainly the problems with managing different regulations, it may even be problematic and potentially illegal to run US standards in the other areas where they may run under a different admin body for RF regulations. The vSZ will get rid off all that for you.
