The following capabilities are supported:

Requirements
Note: For more information on ICX device capabilities
and configuration, refer to the RUCKUS FastIron documentation set available at
the following URL:
https://support.ruckuswireless.com. On the site, select Products > RUCKUS ICX Switches > Technical Documents, and choose the platform and document of interest.
The following items are required to manage ICX devices:
- The ICX switch must be running FastIron software version 08.0.90 or higher.
- The Unleashed Master AP's IP address must be reachable by the ICX device through the Management interface or through router interfaces.
- ICX devices will be automatically discovered by the Unleashed Master. If automatic switch approval is enabled, all ICX switches discovered on the network will be listed in the Switches dashboard component. To disable automatic approval, go to Admin & Services > System > System Info > Switch Approval and disable the Approval option.
ICX devices running either router or switch images can be managed by Unleashed.
