Is there a limit on the number of VLANs RUCKUS supports per SSID when using Dynamic VLAN?

Dynamic VLAN Capability Overview

Dynamic VLAN allows user-based or role-based VLAN assignment through:

• AAA attributes (RADIUS)
• VLAN pooling
• Policy-based VLAN assignment

This enables multiple VLANs to share the same SSID while providing segmentation and policy enforcement.

DVLAN Limit Based on AP Platform

1. 802.11ax (Wi?Fi 6) APs – Supported in RUCKUS SmartZone 7.0 and Above

Starting with SmartZone (SZ) 7.0, all supported Ax AP models (R550, R650, R750, R850, T350 series, etc.) can configure:

? Maximum of 128 Dynamic VLANs per VAP (per SSID)

This expanded DVLAN table was introduced in SZ 7.0 to support higher scalability and multi-tenant deployments.

Important Notes for Ax APs

• The 128 DVLAN limit applies only to Wi?Fi 6 (802.11ax) APs.
• Ax APs must be managed by SmartZone 7.0+ to access the expanded DVLAN table.
• On firmware older than SZ 7.0, Ax APs follow the legacy DVLAN limits.

2. Legacy 802.11ac (Wave 1 / Wave 2) APs

Most AC APs (e.g., R510, R610, R710, T310 models) support a lower DVLAN limit, generally based on hardware memory constraints.

Typical AC AP DVLAN limit:

? 64 Dynamic VLANs per VAP (varies by model and SZ version)

These APs do not support the 128 DVLAN enhancement.

Summary Table

Recommendation

• For deployments requiring more than 64 VLANs per SSID, use Wi?Fi 6 (802.11ax) APs and ensure the AP Zone is running SmartZone 7.0 or later.
• For AC AP deployments, consider upgrading to Ax APs if higher DVLAN scale is required.
• Always verify DVLAN support in the SmartZone Release Notes for your specific AP model and firmware combination.
