Sean,
Unleashed AP and controller based AP has following difference in terms of feature set
Unleashed does not provide the entire
ZoneDirector feature set. The following features are either not supported, supported but with
limitations, or are currently unsupported but planned for a future release:
- No layer 3 roaming. All APs must be in the same subnet.
- Tunneled WLANs are not supported.
- IPv6 is not supported.
- No interface to communicate with FlexMaster, SmartCell Insight, SPoT, or the ZoneDirector
Remote Control mobile app.
- No North Bound Interface to pass client authentication responsibility to an external
entity.
- No CLI support.
- No SNMP support.
- No SpeedFlex support.
- No WLAN Group or AP Groups.
- No Role Based Access Controls.
- Guest Access limitations:
- Self-Service Guest Pass (not supported in the initial release).
If you need any of the above then you need to get controller or check with your Ruckus SE to confirm on when any of the above features are going to be implemented.
