In SmartZone, WLAN Groups define which SSIDs (WLANs) are broadcast by specific APs or AP Groups. However, for an AP Group to actually broadcast the WLANs from a WLAN Group, that WLAN Group must be explicitly assigned to the AP Group's radio interfaces (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz).
According to RUCKUS One Online Help - WLAN Group Configuration and SmartZone Administrator Guide, when an AP Group does not have a WLAN Group bound to its radios, the SSIDs in that group will not be broadcast-even if both exist within the same Zone.
Creating the WLAN Group at the Domain level or Zone level is valid, but broadcasting depends on association at the AP Group radio level.

RUCKUS Analyticsprovideshistorical and AI-driven insightsinto network health and client connectivity trends. It identifieschronic connectivity issues, such as repeated association failures, high retry rates, or roaming delays, over extended timeframes.
According to theRUCKUS Analytics 3.5 User Guide - Client Troubleshooting and Service Assurance, the platform uses machine learning to analyze large volumes of telemetry data from APs, automatically flagging recurring issues per client or SSID.
TheSmartZone Trace Toolcaptures short-term packet traces, whileCluster DiagnosticsandSmartMesh Dashboardfocus on infrastructure health-not client behavior.

Admin DomainsinSmartZoneproviderole-based access control (RBAC)by dividing system management into separate administrative scopes. Each Admin Domain can contain specific zones, WLANs, and devices, with access limited to assigned administrators.
As outlined inRUCKUS One Online Help - Administrative Domains and Roles, this feature enables organizations or MSPs to securely delegate management tasks to different teams or customers while maintaining full isolation between configurations.
Partner Domainsexist only in vSZ-H (multi-tenant environments), whileCluster Rolesmanage global system functions.AP Groupsare configuration containers but not access control boundaries.

The Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) in SmartZone continuously monitors the RF environment to detect and mitigate rogue or malicious behavior.
According to RUCKUS One Online Help - WIPS Policy Configuration, available rule types include:
(B) High RSSI: Detects potential rogue APs or clients broadcasting at unusually strong signal levels that suggest proximity or spoofing attempts.
(C) NAV Abuse: Identifies devices misusing the Network Allocation Vector field to monopolize airtime, degrading performance for other users.
(E) SSID Spoofing: Detects devices broadcasting identical SSIDs to legitimate WLANs, often used in man-in-the-middle or phishing attacks.
Other listed options, such as Short GI (Guard Interval) and Same Network, are PHY or configuration settings, not WIPS rules. Excessive Power detection is handled indirectly via High RSSI thresholds.

In SmartZone High-Scale (vSZ-H) environments, the Domain Hierarchy defines the organizational and administrative structure for managing distributed networks and multi-tenant operations.
According to RUCKUS One Online Help - SmartZone Domain and Role Management and SmartZone High-Scale Administration Guide, the following apply:
(A) Each Domain defines an administrative boundary that determines which network components (zones, WLANs, APs) specific administrators can access or modify.
(D) A Domain can contain sub-domains and AP Zones, allowing hierarchical management layers for large service provider or enterprise environments.
(F) Partner Domains (exclusive to vSZ-H) allow configuration inheritance from the System Domain, while providing the flexibility to customize local settings and policies for tenants or customers.
Options B, C, and E are incorrect because all domain types (not only Partner Domains) can contain AP Zones, and SmartZone supports multi-level hierarchies beyond just System and Zone levels.
