VLAN Settings Overview

VLAN Settings Overview
A Ruckus Wireless AP is like a network switch, in that it supports Wi-Fi connections.
As such, like many advanced switches, Ruckus APs conform to the IEEE 802.1Q
standard -- the standard that defines virtual LANs. In an 802.1Q switch, the concept
of VLANs is always present. If a packet arrives without an 802.1Q header, it is
assigned to the native VLAN or untag VLAN.
Each of the AP's wireless interfaces can be assigned a single VLAN. When a packet
enters the AP through its wireless interface, the packet is assigned to the Access
VLAN configured on the Configuration > Wireless page (by default, 1).
AP Ethernet ports however, can be configured to pass all VLAN traffic (Trunk Ports)
or multiple specific VLANs (General ports).
The VLAN displayed in the Web interface shows the AP's view of the VLAN
environment; when a packet arrives at an AP's Ethernet port, the port's VLAN
configuration helps determine if the packet is accepted or not (VLAN membership),
and assigns a default VLAN (untagged VLAN) if the packet contains no 802.1Q
header.
In general, if your network has VLANs deployed already, you should apply VLAN
configuration to Ruckus APs so that the configuration across the network is
consistent.

Configuring an NTP Server

A network time protocol (NTP) server should be configured to ensure that the AP
maintains the correct time. The default Ruckus Wireless NTP Server
(ntp.ruckuswireless.com) can be used if you do not have an NTP server on your
network.
If you want the AP to use a different NTP server, you can do so by going to
Configuration > Internet, entering the host name in NTP Server at the top of the
page, and then clicking Update Settings.

Configuring the Management VLAN

NOTE Changing the Management VLAN causes you to be immediately
disconnected from the Web interface if the computer you are using is not on the
same VLAN. Do not change the Management VLAN unless your admin PC is on
the same VLAN, or you are disconnected and unable to connect again without
factory resetting the AP.
