Advanced Options
uplink or downlink. Toggle the Uplink and/or Downlink drop-down lists to limit
the rate at which WLAN clients upload/download data. The "Disabled" state
means rate limiting is disabled; thus, traffic flows without prescribed limits.
• Multicast Filter: When enabled for a WLAN, all client multicast traffic will be
dropped at the AP. Broadcast and unicast frames remain unchanged.
• Access VLAN: By default, all wireless clients associated with APs that ZoneDi-
rector is managing are segmented into a single VLAN (with VLAN ID 1). If you
want to tag this WLAN traffic with a different VLAN ID, enter a valid VLAN ID (2-
4094) in the box. Select the Enable Dynamic VLAN check box to allow
ZoneDirector to assign VLAN IDs on a per-user basis. Before enabling dynamic
VLAN, you need to define on the RADIUS server the VLAN IDs that you want to
assign to users. See
• Hide SSID: Activate this option if you do not want the ID of this WLAN advertised
at any time. This will not affect performance or force the WLAN user to perform
any unnecessary tasks.
• Tunnel Mode: Select this check box if you want to tunnel the WLAN traffic back
to ZoneDirector. Tunnel mode enables wireless clients to roam across different
APs on different subnets. If the WLAN has clients that require uninterrupted
wireless connection (for example, VoIP devices), Ruckus Wireless recommends
enabling tunnel mode.
NOTE: Note that Wireless Distribution System (WDS) clients, for example,
MediaFlex 7211/2111 adapters, do not work when the ZoneDirector WLAN is in
Tunnel Mode.
NOTE: When tunnel mode is enabled on a WLAN, multicast video packets are
blocked on that WLAN. Multicast voice packets, however, are allowed.
• Proxy ARP: When enabled on a WLAN, the AP provides proxy service for stations
when receiving neighbor discovery packets (e.g., ARP request and ICMPv6
Neighbor Solicit messages), and acts on behalf of the station in delivering ARP
replies. When the AP receives a broadcast ARP/Neighbor Solicit request for a
known host, the AP replies on behalf of the host. If the AP receives a request for
an unknown host, it forwards the request at the rate limit specified in the
