How to change the IP address of Ruckus Virtual SmartZone Controller

[markandro]

Good day!

I'm looking for guidance or instructions on changing the IP address of a Ruckus Virtual SmartZone (vSZ) controller. I'd appreciate any step-by-step instructions. Our vSZ controller is currently operating but we need to change the IP address of our VSZ controller from private IP address to public IP address to connect to our RADIUS server.

Our VSZ controller running version: Virtual SmarTZone Essentials 6.1.0.0.935

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Mark,

Please refer below command to change the vSZ IP.

Login to the vSZ CLI 

ruckus> en 
ruckus# config 
ruckus(config)# interface 
ruckus(config-if)# ip address<IP address> <subnet mask> <gateway>
ruckus(config-if)#end
ruckus(config)end
ruckus#

To verify:

show running-configuration interface

Thanks,

Hi Sir,

Thanks for providing instructions.

I have a questions sir, when we added the access points in the VSZ controller, we access the CLI of each access points and run Set SCG ip 192.168.X.X (we point the address of the controller)

Will changing the IP address temporarily disrupt our network or WiFi services?

and can I access the Virtual SmartZone controller using the new IP?

Your assistance and insights would be greatly appreciated

Hi @markandro Once the controller is changed to new IP address, you should be able to access it using the new IP address.

And when pointing the AP to the new IP address, There will be a new config update to the AP causing it to reboot.

Hi Sir,

Thank you for your prompt response.

Last question sir, Can I do the change of IP using the web GUI?

Under Network tab > Data and Control plane > Cluster > and edit Control Plane network settings

Thanks!
