Overview

The Ruckus ZD3000 is a high-performance wireless LAN controller designed to efficiently manage up to 500 access points (APs), catering to medium to large-scale wireless environments. It supports up to 10,000 concurrent stations, making it suitable for high-density scenarios such as universities, hotels, and large enterprises. This controller is engineered to optimize wireless networking by offering advanced features such as guest access, captive portal, and mesh networking capabilities. At the core of the ZD3000's hardware specifications is its power system, equipped with a 220-watt internal power supply and capable of operating on a 100–250V AC universal input with an IEC 320 connector. This flexibility ensures that the device can be deployed in various geographical regions without the need for additional power converters. The device's physical dimensions are compact, fitting into a 1RU space on a rack with measurements of 35.52cm in length, 43.18cm in width, and 4.39cm in height, and it weighs 14 lbs (6.37 kilograms), making it relatively easy to integrate into existing network infrastructure. Connectivity is facilitated through two Ethernet ports that support auto MDX, auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds with RJ-45 connectors, ensuring high-speed connections and compatibility with various network architectures. The operating temperature range of the Ruckus ZD3000 is from 41°F (5°C) to 104°F (40°C), indicating its suitability for deployment in environments with standard temperature conditions.
  • Managed APs: Capable of managing up to 500 APs.
  • WLANs (BSSIDs): Supports up to 1,024 WLANs (BSSIDs) for extensive network segmentation.
  • Concurrent Stations: Can support up to 10,000 concurrent stations, highlighting its capacity for large user bases.
In terms of network management and optimization, the ZD3000 excels with features like voice support through 802.11e/WMM and U-APSD, tunneling to AP for enhanced voice quality, and support for both IPv4 and IPv6, ensuring future-proof operation in evolving network environments. VLAN support is provided through 802.1Q with one VLAN per BSSID and dynamic VLAN capabilities, enhancing network segmentation and security. The device also offers redundancy through a 1+1 configuration with auto-synchronization, ensuring network reliability and uptime. A built-in DHCP server adds to the device's flexibility, simplifying network configuration and management. Rate limiting and traffic classification are supported, with automatic, heuristics, and TOS-based or VLAN-defined mechanisms, ensuring optimal network performance and resource allocation. WLAN prioritization, automatic client load balancing, and support for guest access and captive portals are critical features that enhance user experience and network management. These features, along with mesh support, make the Ruckus ZD3000 a comprehensive solution for managing complex wireless networks, delivering a seamless and efficient wireless experience across a wide range of applications and environments.
