wireless controller RWG question

[desiguruit]

Do you need wireless controller subscription with RWG or does RWG do wireless controller? I do not see any information on this. Please advise.

Hi @desiguruit 

RWG would not act as SZ controller to manage APs hence you would need to spin up a vSZ controller though all Network services are integrated in RWG (vsz and ICX switches are also adopted). Below few links to help better understand :

You need the SmartZone controller for wireless. RWG acts as the edge router and orchestrator for solutions using SmartZone and ICX, leveraging its internal services (RADIUS, firewall, rate-limiting, portals, billing, PMS integration, etc)
