Add a Single Use Root Shell to ZoneDirector 1200

Until late 2019 you could escape from the Ruckus CLI to a root shell.
You can temporarily add this functionality, without making any persistent changes to your ZD1200.

The root shell will self-destruct the first time you use it, and the ZD1200's status LED will blink red until this happens.

This patch should be uploaded as a Software Upgrade (Administer > Upgrade > Software Upgrade).

TIP

The upload process completes the patching; no upgrade will be offered. Instead you will be given instructions on using the root shell.

TIP

If you have no Upgrade Entitlement, then a temporary entitlement will also be added to your ZD1200. This will be overwritten the next time you do an online support license check.

In case you miss the instructions, to access the root shell from the CLI:-

ruckus> enable 
ruckus# debug 
You have all rights in this mode.
ruckus(debug)# script 
ruckus(script)# exec .root.sh
Ruckus Wireless ZoneDirector -- Command Line Interface
ruckus$

TIP

You can, if you wish, create the patch yourself.
