Description

R770 Access Point Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) Support

Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) is a technology that enables Wi-Fi to operate in the same 6 GHz frequency spectrum as incumbent users (specifically, radio devices operating in the 5.925-6.425 GHz: U-NII-5 and 6.525-6.875 GHz: U-NII-7 frequency bands). AFC helps manage and allocate frequencies dynamically, allowing Wi-Fi to operate in the 6 GHz band while practically minimizing interference to incumbent users. For more information, refer to the RUCKUS Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) Support on RUCKUS Wi-Fi Network Devices User Guide on the RUCKUS Support portal.

The following enhancements are introduced in this release.

Enhancement	Description
Heterogeneous device firmware deployment	Offering customers the flexibility to upgrade or downgrade device firmware versions, maintain heterogeneous firmware across different devices, and highlight compatibility and feature support. The new feature ensures improved operational flexibility. You can tailor device firmware to specific needs without being restricted to a single version. Enhanced compatibility checks minimize conflicts, and detailed feature support information assists in making informed deployment decisions. These enhancements optimize performance, reduce downtime, and ensure each device operates with the most suitable firmware. For more information, refer to the RUCKUS One User Guide on our website.
Webhooks in incident management	The new feature enables you to configure Webhooks for real-time incident notifications, resulting in faster response times and more efficient workflow automation.
Guest Pass network user experience	When a user client connects to the Guest Pass network, the current maximum duration for caching user client MAC addresses (which allows users to bypass re-entering passwords on the Guest Pass portal) will be extended from 24 hours to 7 weeks.
Client network access	Network administrators can now disconnect or de-authenticate User Equipment (UE) from the network, providing enhanced control over network access and security.
Disconnect	Administrators can disconnect the User Equipment (UE) from the network. If the network uses MAC authentication, the UE may not be redirected to the portal page upon reconnection, depending on the network configuration.
Revoke	Administrators can force User Equipment (UE) to re-authorize. This means the UE remains connected to the network but is blocked from accessing the internet. If the UE attempts to use the internet, it will be redirected to the portal page. Notably, the MAC authentication mechanism will not be triggered unless there is a reconnection, which may allow the UE to reconnect to the WLAN without needing to re-login if it passes MAC authentication.
Licensing API	A unified API that can be used for both REC (self-managed) and MSP (managed service provider) licenses. This unified API provides a streamlined approach to licensing operations, simplifying the management and integration of licenses across different use cases.
Network authentication method	Introducing 802.1X & MAC Authentication. In this method, MAC authentication is performed first, followed by 802.1X authentication. The access point (AP) grants access to user equipment (UE) only after both MAC authentication and 802.1X authentication are successfully completed.
ICX Switches enhances network management visibility	Included the ability to display external IP address for switches.
ICX Switches Admin Password Management	The enhancement allows you to easily edit the switch password and provides an option to apply the updated password to all switches within a venue, including any new switches that join.
