I just recently got a 7250 and I like it.

This is the software version I'm on:

Sadly SSH connections are a bit troublesome as the firmware uses deprecated algorithms. Coming from Debian 12 I can circumvent it by using
Code:
ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa
On a Fedora 39 host though it still fails. It seems I cannot change the ssh server settings on the ruckus, that's why I'm thinking about switching to the next major firmware version.

Code:
SSH@7250.libcom.de>show license 
Unit  License Name    L3 Premium Port Speed Upgrade   Speed    Ports    MACsec  
1     l3-prem-8X10G   Yes        Yes                  10G      8        NA
Will I still be able to use the L3 license on version 9 of the Ruckus firmware? If so, what do I need to take into consideration?

After I upgrade to 09010j_cd1 I have had random reboots. The reason might be my fan mod idk but with version 08095m it does NOT happen. After downgrading to 08095 again everything is back to normal.
That's really annoying because I cannot SSH into the switch with firmware 8 :-/
