Hey,
I am a network engineer and power wifi user. I run a full radius backend with packetfence and 3 SSIDs at my home. I am currently using a Cisco WLC 2504 with 2x 3800 APs in my apartment. However, with this controller going EOL and my moving into a new home, I figured now was a good time to try out another wifi vendor. After a bit of research I settled on a Ruckus ZD1200 controller and a pair of R750s. Now onto the complex part. I purchased all this via ebay to save money and got a bunch of extras. My ZD1200 came with 8 AP license, and a few R500s and T300s. So now I need to figure out how to license all this.
I know I will need a 801-1205-1000 or 801-1205-3000 to get my controller able to install updates firmware. I assume I need to get at least 1 of each of my APs on a support contract to be able to download firmware for them too. What is the bare minimum I need to be able to get this all working and able to install updated firmware? Do I need to have a support license for my R750 and R500 to get firmware for different AP models? Or is it ok to just have my ZD controller under a support contract? Keep in mind this is home use and not commercial, but I do want the roaming features of ZD over Unleashed.
