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.
IP addresses to one or more networked devices prove to be unusable or in conflict with others, or when the AP loses its DHCP- assigned IP address for some reason. 1 Go to Status > Internet. Ruckus Wireless Outdoor AP 100.1.0 User Guide, 800-70863-001 Rev A...

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.
