System capabilities
The system capabilities TLV identifies the primary functions of the device and indicates
whether these primary functions are enabled.
The primary functions can be one or more of the following (more than one for example, if the device is both a bridge and a router):
- Repeater
- Bridge
- WLAN access point
- Router
- Telephone
- DOCSIS cable device
- Station only (devices that implement end station capability)
- Other
System capabilities for RUCKUS devices are based on the type of software image in use (for example, Layer 2 switch or Layer 3 router). The enabled capabilities will be the same as the available capabilities, except that when using a router image (base or full Layer 3), if the global route-only feature is turned on, the bridge capability will not be included, since no bridging takes place.
