IP address of the GRE tunnel endpoint is within that range. Figure 1 shows the tunneling interface and its various tunneling interfaces. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...
L2oGRE gateway is unreachable when the maximum number of retries exceeds. This event occurs when L2oGRE does not receive an ICMP reply to an ICMP request sent from the datablade. Figure 2 displays the L2oGRE traffic flow. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...
The UE authentication is similar to QinQ and LBO expects that the UE packet is seen at the data plane from an L2oGRE tunnel. This means that the L2oGRE and LBO path is already supported for the parameter auth_type. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...

The GTpmgr sends a D-C-NTFY-MSG (cause=1) to the AUT notifying the UE timed out event. 10 If the UE returns or moves to another datablade, the status query process for unknown UE is called again. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...
The bridge mode now supports optional DHCP relay function. If it is enabled the user equipment’s DHCP packets are relayed to a configured DHCP server. Option 82 sub-option configurations are the same as before. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...
GTP tunnels. Figure 4 shows the message flow between the SCG and the GGSN for establishing a GTP tunnel. Figure 5 shows the Gn interface flow. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...

• 3rd Party AP Zone The SCG connects to 3rd party AP zones in the same way as that of Ruckus Wireless APs. The SCG receives RADIUS messages directly from 3rd party AP and supports multiple 3rd party AP zones. The SCG accepts UE data traffic from 3rd party APs from access networks via L2oGRE tunnels APs or QinQ tags.
AP packets, it includes AP Zone ID and/or the network traffic profile associated with the AP zone. The GRE input also maintains the AP table, including statistics. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...

SVLAN/ CVLAN range in 3rd party AP zone configuration as seen in Figure 13. SVLAN/CVLAN range does not overlap between the zones. NOTE: The SCG does not support roaming for 3rd party APs. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...
AP acts like a RADIUS client and uses 802.1X/EAP to perform authentication. The client traffic is forwarded to the SCG via QinQ. Figure 14 shows the access flows of 3rd party APs using QinQ and TTG+PDG. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...
DHCP server provides a finite lease time (for TTG sessions). If the session is deleted in the SCG and the association still exists, all data packets coming from UE are SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...

The session also gets terminated, if the UE session ages out or when a session deletes a control plane or the data plane ages out the entry. Alternatively a user can build an API to delete the entry. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...
If the control plane is unable to establish the GTP tunnel to GGSN or if the UE is not authenticated, the control plane silently drops the DHCP discover message. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...
For TTG+PDG traffic, the DHCP server used will always be control plane and does not require any configuration. Also, the DHCP NAK packet sent by the DHCP server indicates that the UE forward policy is PDG. SmartCell Gateway 200 Tunneling Interface Reference Guide for SmartZone 3.4.1, 800-71380-001 Rev A...
