The following section provides information on the new features and enhancements in this release.

• Configuration Analysis: RUCKUS One can now analyze the impact of configuration changes or software changes introduced in the network. RUCKUS One tracks the configuration applied at the Venue, WLAN, AP Group, or AP level. Algorithms assess the impact of this configuration change and display a 'before' and 'after' comparison of network health key performance indicators (KPIs). With this feature, customers can de-risk the configuration changes before rolling out across the network.
• DPSK Scaling: Dynamic Pre-Shared Keys are a cornerstone of the RUCKUS solution, offering unique pre-shared keys that can be applied to each identity, unit, or individual device. RUCKUS One can now support up to 75,000 DPSKs per tenant without requiring a separate RADIUS controller. Automated DPSK creation is limited to 5,000 keys per request, while still supporting up to 75,000 total DPSKs per tenant.
• BSS Coloring: Basic Service Set (BSS) Coloring marks shared frequencies to allow 802.11ax access points to determine whether simultaneous use of spectrum is permissible. This technology reduces interference due to congestion and ensures consistent service to multiple connected devices in high-density environments. This configuration is now supported at the overall venue and individual AP level.
• Multicast Rate Limiting: Configurable multicast rate limiting in RUCKUS One. Multicast rate limiting and Multicast filtering are mutually exclusive features, SSID rate limiting will always take precedence if Multicast rate limiting is also configured. Multicast downlink rate limiting should not be greater than 50% of BSS min rate.
• DHCP Option 82: DHCP Option 82 allows a DHCP Relay Agent to insert circuit−specific information into a request that is being forwarded to a DHCP server. This option works by setting two sub-options: Circuit ID and Remote ID. The insertion of DHCP Option 82 information is now supported for wireless clients in RUCKUS One.
• Agile Multi-Band (AMB): Introduced by the Wi-Fi Alliance, Agile Multiband is a collection of features designed to improve resource utilization, balance Wi-Fi load, increase capacity, and provide the best possible Wi-Fi experience. AMB configures WLANs to send IE Multi Band Operation announcements that include beacon reporting, channel non-preference, cellular capability, and association disallow. It interoperates with existing load balancing protocols including 802.11k and 802.11r.
• IEEE 802.11d: Enable or Disable IEEE 802.11d support. When enabled, this feature allows the AP to support multiple regulatory domains by the addition of a country information element to beacons, probe requests, and probe responses.
• Property Management: Located in Venue > Select a Venue > Configure the Venue > Property Management. Create residence portals, for end-user Multi-Dwelling Units. Centered around DPSK technology, Property Management allows end users control over their own DPSK credentials. Property management must be enabled at a per venue level. This view also allows you to create DPSK pools, Identity Groups, and Identities within this screen. Using this new functionality of RUCKUS One, you can allow end users to:
  • Email/SMS notifications with the residence portal URL
  • Email/SMS notifications with the residence passphrases
  • Allow API access to the portal for third party systems
  • Provide a new UI for end users to:
    • Quickly onboard devices using the passphrase provided
    • Quickly onboard devices using the QR code provided
    • View devices that have used the passphrase
    • Delete devices that have used the passphrase
    • Reset the residences passphrase
    • Reset the residences onboarding URL
    • Change email and mobile number contact information
    • Receive announcements and help
• Identity Groups: Located in Clients > Identity Groups. Using Identity Groups, as a network administrator, you can logically create user and device groups that have access to particular resources (such as DPSK pools and MAC Address lists)
• Identity: Located in Clients > Identity. Identities represent a grouping of devices which are associated to an identity. The identity will hold information such as VLAN and VNI. As devices connect to the network, it looks to the identity for those attributes.
• DPSK: Located in Network Control > My Services. In RUCKUS One, you can now create multiple DPSK services that have different capabilities and different policies. Create DPSK services with different attributes containing:
  • Password complexity
  • Password length
  • Expiration Dates
  • Adaptive Policy Rules
• MAC Address Pools: Located in Network Control > Policies & Profiles. New to RUCKUS One, is the capability to have multiple MAC Address pools. This list can be used to authenticate devices. Device MAC addresses can be stored in a list and used on WLANs.
• Adaptive Policy: Located in Network Control > Policies & Profiles. An exciting new feature that you can use to create conditions and responses for those conditions. New to RUCKUS One, is the ability to group conditions together into Access Policy Sets. Choose from conditions for DPSK and for RADIUS and apply them to DPSK Pools and MAC Registration Lists.
