    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.

  • Page 81: Configuring L2Tp Connection Settings

    In a typical WLAN implementation, these rules include a captive portal to authenticate users’ credentials. In the case of L2TP, the Ruckus Wireless AP functions as a remote bridge. As such, it forwards traffic into PPP sessions over the L2TP tunnel. This implementation ensures that you have complete visibility into MAC addresses of users, as individual Wi-Fi clients are essentially placed (bridged) onto the ISP’s core network.
