Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide 2 3 About This Guide This guide describes how to configure and manage Release 100.4 Ruckus Wireless Outdoor Access Points (APs). This guide is written for those responsible for managing network equipment. Consequently, it assumes that the reader has basic working knowledge of local area networking, wireless networking, and wireless devices. NOTE By downloading this software and subsequently upgrading Ruckus Wireless APs to base image 100.0.0 and later, please be advised that: • The ZoneDirector periodically connects to Ruckus and Ruckus collects the ZoneDirector serial number, software version and build number. Ruckus transmits a file back to the ZoneDirector and this is used to display the current status of the ZoneDirector Support Contract. • The AP may send a query to Ruckus containing the AP's serial number. This allows your AP to autonomously connect with a wireless LAN controller operated by your choice of cloud service provider. Ruckus may transmit the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address of the controller that the AP will subsequently attempt to join back to the AP. • Please be advised that this information may be transferred and stored outside of your country of residence where data protection standards may be different. NOTE This guide assumes that the Ruckus Wireless Outdoor APs have already been installed as described in the corresponding Quick Setup Guide, Getting Started Guide, Mounting Guide or Installation Guide.

Ruckus Wireless APs are the industry's most easy to use, yet robust and feature-rich Wi-Fi APs designed to bring power and simplicity together for large-scale outdoor deployments. Your Ruckus Wireless AP uses BeamFlex, a patented antenna technology from Ruckus Wireless that allows wireless signals to navigate around interference, extend wireless signal range, and increase speeds and capacity for wireless networks. The BeamFlex antenna system consists of an array of high-gain directional antenna elements that allow Ruckus Wireless APs to find quality signal paths in a changing environment, and sustain the baseline performance required for supporting data, audio and video applications. Your Ruckus Wireless AP can be deployed in standalone mode with or without a FlexMaster (FM) manager, or as part of the Ruckus Wireless Smart WLAN system, in which it can be managed by ZoneDirector (ZD), SmartCell Gateway (SCG), SmartZone (SZ), and virtual SmartZone (vSZ) controllers. NOTE For more information on the Ruckus Wireless system, including ZoneDirector, SmartZone, FlexMaster, BeamFlex, and other Ruckus Wireless technologies, visit www.ruckuswireless.com Installing the Access Point This User Guide assumes that the Ruckus Wireless outdoor APs have already been installed and have already been initially configured as described in the corresponding Quick Setup Guide, Getting Started Guide, Mounting Guide or Installation Guide. NOTE DO NOT connect the AP to your live network when first connecting the AP to an administrative computer. If you connect it to a live network with an active DHCP server, then the AP can acquire a new IP address from DHCP and you will be unable to access it via the default IP address (192.168.0.1). If the AP has a new IP address, then reset the AP to the factory configuration as described in the corresponding mounting or installation guide. Because of different mounting and wiring procedures, each outdoor AP model has its own Quick Setup Guide, Getting Started Guide, Mounting Guide or Installation Guide. Refer to the guide(s) that shipped with your product for model-specific installation instructions. These documents are available from support.ruckuswireless.com. Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide 8 Introduction Controller Discovery and Standalone Operation Controller Discovery and Standalone Operation Ruckus Wireless Access Points can operate in either standalone mode, be managed by FlexMaster server, or be managed by any of the Ruckus controller products. How Standalone APs Learn Controller Addresses If your AP will be managed by a controller, you will need some way to ensure that the AP can discover the controller on the network. There are several different ways to do this, and the specific controller user documents contain more details on discovery for that particular controller product family. This section provides a brief overview of the options available for controller discovery. Ruckus Cloud Ruckus APs discover Ruckus Cloud controllers by querying the Ruckus Cloud AP Registrar (ap-registrar.ruckuswireless.com) via HTTPS to learn the Ruckus Cloud address. APs will search for a Ruckus Cloud controller more frequently after initial boot up, and less frequently after the first 14 days. Standalone APs will query the Registrar with the following frequency: Table 1: How often APs query the Registrar to learn Ruckus Cloud controller addresses Query Frequency AP Uptime 15 seconds < 1 hour 5 minutes 1 hours ~ 48 hours 1 hour 2 days ~ 14 days 12 hours 14 days ~ forever SmartZone APs discover SmartZone controllers using any of the following methods: • • • • • • mDNS discovery on local IP subnet DHCP Option 43 sub-option 6 DHCPv6 Option 17 sub-option 6 DHCPv6 Option 52 DNS entry named "ruckuscontroller."

When Using a Dual-Band AP If your Ruckus Wireless AP model is dual-band, then note that elements on the web interface menu are slightly different from single-band Ruckus Wireless AP models. Dual-band APs have one 2.4GHz radio (for 802.11b/g/n clients) and one 5GHz radio (for 802.11a/n/ac clients). The wireless settings for these two radios need to be configured separately, which is why the dual-band AP web interface has the Radio 2.4G and Radio 5G menu items, instead of a single Wireless menu item in single-band models. The following figure highlights the differences between single-band and dual-band Ruckus Wireless AP menus. Figure 20: Menu items are slightly different in single-band APs (left) and dual-band APs (right) 58 Configuration 3 Configuring the AP for Management by ZoneDirector When your Ruckus Wireless network is managed by a ZoneDirector controller, you can manage APs using the controller rather than individually logging into each AP's web interface. If ZoneDirector is installed on the network, then follow the instructions in the ZoneDirector User Guide and connect the AP to your network. The AP finds the ZD, and then downloads the ZD-compatible AP firmware from the ZD controller. NOTE The AP must have some way of obtaining an IP address (IPv4 DHCP or IPv6 Auto Configuration). Configuring the AP for Management by a SmartZone Controller When your Ruckus Wireless network is managed by a SmartZone controller, you can manage APs using the controller rather than individually logging into each AP's web interface. If SmartZone controllers are installed on the network, then follow the instructions in the SmartZone Admin Guide to configure the controller, and then connect the AP to your network. The AP finds the SZ controller and then downloads the SZ-compatible AP firmware from the controller. NOTE The AP must have some way of obtaining an IP address (IPv4 DHCP or IPv6 Auto Configuration).

This section describes how to view and configure the AP's Internet settings. Topics discussed include: • • • • • • VLAN Settings Overview on page 61 Configuring an NTP Server on page 62 Configuring the Management VLAN on page 62 Default IP Addressing Behavior on page 62 Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address on page 62 Configuring L2TP Connection Settings on page 66 Figure 22: The Configuration > Internet page VLAN Settings Overview A Ruckus Wireless AP is in many ways like a network switch that supports virtual LAN segmentation on both its wired and wireless interfaces. 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. Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide 61 Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster 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 CAUTION! 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. If you want to place this AP's management traffic into a management VLAN, enter the VLAN ID in the Management VLAN field and click Update Settings. Default IP Addressing Behavior By default, the AP is configured to automatically obtain an IPv4 address from a DHCP server on the network. If the AP does not detect a DHCP server, it automatically assigns itself the static IP address 192.168.0.1 (or 192.168.100.2 for Cable Modem APs) to make it easier for you to configure and deploy it on your network. For IPv6, the Auto Configuration setting serves the same purpose as DHCP. The default static IPv6 address is fc00::1. Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address There are three methods of assigning IP addresses to the AP: • DHCP/Auto Configuration on page 63 62 Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster • Configuring a Static IP on page 65 • PPPoE on page 65 DHCP/Auto Configuration If you leave the AP at its default configuration, then it attempts to obtain an IPv4 address from a DHCP server on the network. In an IPv6 network environment, the AP attempts to obtain an IPv6 address from an IPv6 Auto Configuration server. Refer to the following: • Renewing and Releasing DHCP on page 63 • Configuring IPv4 Auto or Manual Configuration on page 64 • Configuring IPv6 Auto Configuration on page 64 Renewing and Releasing DHCP This task should be performed only if you have access to the DHCP server or have some way to determine what IP address has been assigned to the AP. It serves as a troubleshooting technique when 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. Figure 23: Renew or Release DHCP 2. Review the current settings. Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide 63 Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster 3. If the current Connection Type is dhcp, then you are able to see the currently-assigned IP address and subnet mask listed below. • To force the AP to release its DHCP-assigned IP address, click Release DHCP. This disconnects the user from web interface as the system reverts to its default IP address. Log in to the device using the default IP address (192.168.0.1 (or 192.168.100.2 for Cable Modem APs) and click Renew DHCP to request a new lease from the DHCP server. • Click Renew DHCP to request a new IP address lease from the DHCP server. NOTE The IP address may or may not change depending on the lease time offered to this device. 4. Click Update Settings to save your changes.

PPPoE Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a Layer 2 protocol which uses the PPP (Point to Point) protocol to connect a client system to a server system over a one to one network link. All traffic for a PPPoE connected client must go through the PPPoE server to reach the client. A PPPoE server can therefore be used to route, NAT, firewall, and perform QoS traffic shaping. If a PPPoE server is used to distribute Internet access to subscribers, the AP can be configured with a PPPoE username and password to authenticate with the PPPoE server. PPPoE is available only for the IPv4 connection type; PPPoE is not supported in IPv6 environments.

Configuring L2TP Connection Settings You can implement transparent bridging with Ruckus Wireless APs by using L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) tunneling. By tunneling traffic from a Ruckus Wireless AP to a centralized data center, access controllers with policy enforcement software can apply rules and services. 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. 1. Go to Configuration > Internet. 2. In L2TP Connection, click Enable. Figure 24: L2TP Connection 3. In L2TP Network Server IP Address, type the IP address of the L2TP network server (LNS) to which the device connects. 4. In L2TP Network Server Password, type the L2TP server password. 66 Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster 5. If your network requires PPP authentication, configure the following fields for L2TP/PPP authentication: • PPP/L2TP Username: Type your PPP user name. • PPP/L2TP Password: Type the password for the account. • L2TP Tunnel Untag VLAN ID: Enter the Untag VLAN ID for the L2TP tunnel. 6. In Close WLAN When Tunnel Fail, select Enable if you want to disable the WLAN when the tunnel connection is lost. This prevents clients from remaining seemingly connected to the WLAN but without Internet connectivity. 7. Click Update Settings to save your changes. Configuring Local Subnets Ruckus Wireless APs can be configured to provide routing/network address translation (NAT) functionality using the Local Subnets feature. When a Local Subnet is enabled, the standalone AP serves as a gateway router that can manage its own subnets, providing DHCP server and DNS cache functions for both wired and wireless clients. These clients can be assigned private IP addresses from a user-defined address pool. Traffic from the client station in private address space appears on the outside as if generated by the AP itself. In this way, the AP performs Layer 3 packet forwarding not only for Hotspot/WISPr usage, but for standard usage as well. Up to four IP subnets can be configured per AP, each with its own VLAN and address range which cannot conflict with one another. 1. Go to Configuration > Local Subnets. The Local Subnet 1 through Local Subnet 4 tabs allow you to configure each of the four subnets independently. Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide 67 Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster Figure 25: Configuring local subnets and enabling router mode 2. Click Enabled next to Subnet. The local subnet configuration options appear. 3. In Local IP Address, enter an IP address for the gateway. The default address for Subnet 1 is 192.168.40.1. This address can be used to access the AP's web interface for configuration and monitoring from devices connected to this subnet. 4. In Subnet Mask, typically you would want to leave the setting at its default value (255.255.255.0) for a Class C subnet with an address pool of up to 254 addresses. An error appears if you enter an invalid IP/netmask combination. 5. In DHCP Server, click Enabled if you want to enable DHCP for this subnet. Starting Address and Maximum DHCP Users fields appear. 6. In Starting Address, enter an address in the same subnet as the Local IP Address (for example, 192.168.40.2). 7. In Maximum DHCP Users, enter the maximum number of clients that can be assigned addresses by DHCP in this subnet (valid values are 1-253 if the default subnet mask is used). 8. In Access VLAN, enter a VLAN ID to segment client traffic arriving from this subnet from other network traffic. (Example: If you use the default 192.168.40.1 address range, you might want to use "40" as the VLAN for this subnet.) 9. Click Update Settings to save your changes. The local subnet is created immediately and can now be applied to WLANs or Ethernet ports from their respective configuration pages. 68 Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster Configuring Wireless Settings This section describes how to configure the wireless settings of the AP. There are two types of wireless settings that you need to configure: • Configuring Common Wireless Settings on page 69: Includes the wireless mode, country code, and advanced wireless settings, such as the wireless transmit power and wireless protection mode. These settings are applied to all WLANs. • Configuring Wireless # (WLAN Number) Settings on page 74: The Wireless # (WLAN number) tabs (Wireless 1 through Wireless 8 on the 2.4GHz radio and Wireless 9 through Wireless 16 on the 5GHz radio) provide settings for customizing each WLAN individually. Configuring Common Wireless Settings Common wireless settings are settings that are applied to all WLANs. On single-radio APs, go to Configuration > Wireless. On dual-radio APs, you configure these settings for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios independently by going to Configuration > Radio 2.4G or Configuration > Radio 5G. 1. Go to Configuration > Wireless/Radio 2.4G/Radio 5G. The Configuration > Wireless > Common page appears. Figure 26: Typical Configuration > Radio 2.4G > Common page 2. Make changes to the common wireless settings listed in the table below. Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide 69 Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster Table 21: Common Wireless Settings Setting Description Radio Network (Dual-radio APs only) Allows you to change the name of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios (default: Radio 2.4G and Radio 5G). Wireless Mode On single radio APs: The wireless mode options include the following: • Auto-Select: Allows both 802.11g- and 802.11b-compliant devices to connect to the network. This is the default setting. • 2.4GHz 54Mbps (For faster 802.11g devices only): Allows only 802.11g-compliant devices to join the network. • 2.4GHz 11Mbps (For slower 802.11b devices only): Allows only 802.11b-compliant devices to join the network. On dual-radio 802.11n/ac APs: On dual radio 802.11n/ac APs, the wireless mode is determined by radio; that is, for the 2.4GHz radio, the mode is automatically set to 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n), while for the 5GHz radio, the mode is automatically set to 5GHz (802.11a/n/ac). 70 Channel This option lets you select the channel used by the network. You can choose SmartSelect, or choose a specific channel. If you choose SmartSelect, then the AP automatically selects the best channel (encountering the least interference) to transmit the signal. Channel Width On 802.11n/ac APs, the option to choose 40 MHz channel width theoretically provides double the data capacity of a 20 MHz channel. However, more channel width means fewer channels available, and more interference with other wireless signals. On 802.11ac APs, the option to choose 80 MHz channel width theoretically provides four times the data capacity of a 20 MHz channel. However, more channel width means fewer channels available, and more interference with other wireless signals.

A confirmation message appears at the top of this page. Using WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security algorithm for 802.11 wireless networks designed to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a wired network. WEP uses a pre-shared key for encrypting data frames that is shared among all users of the wireless network. For this reason and others, WEP has been discredited as a security mechanism and should be avoided in favor of WPA if at all possible. Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide 77 Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster NOTE WEP encryption has been proven to be easily circumvented. Therefore, Ruckus Wireless recommends using WPA whenever possible, and only use WEP if your client devices do not support WPA. NOTE Using WEP encryption limits the performance of this WLAN to 802.11g rates, and other WLANs are unaffected. If you select WEP encryption for a WLAN, wireless devices that are capable of faster 802.11n transfer rates are limited to 802.11g rates. 1. Go to Configuration > Wireless/Radio 2.4G/Radio 5G.

Click Update Settings to save and apply the changes. A confirmation message appears at the top of the page. Using WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two security protocols developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in response to the weaknesses of WEP. Selecting WPA as the Encryption Method allows you to choose WPA version, WPA Authentication and WPA Algorithm. This section discusses WPA-PSK (pre-shared key). For information on WPA-Enterprise (WPA-802.1X), see Customizing 802.1X Settings on page 82. WPA-PSK (also known as WPA-Personal) allows automatic key generation based on a single passphrase. WPA-PSK provides strong security for small and medium organizations and does not require a RADIUS server, but may not be supported on older wireless devices. In some cases, the older devices can be upgraded with adapters to take advantage of WPA-PSK. When you configure the WLAN with WPA-PSK, wireless users are not able to connect to your WLAN unless their devices support WPA-PSK and are configured with the same passphrase.

However, older wireless clients may not be compatible with WPA2. For example, WPA2 support on Windows XP requires a Microsoft patch and is only available on Windows XP with Service pack 2 or later. • WPA+WPA2 allows both WPA and WPA2 devices to operate on the same WLAN. 80 Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster Encryption Setting Description WPA Authentication • PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode is suitable for home or personal use. • 802.1x mode uses a RADIUS server to verify user identity. • Auto mode offers both options to the wireless client. For more information on how to configure the 802.1X mode, refer to Customizing 802.1X Settings on page 82. WPA Algorithm • AES: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) replaces TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) as the default (and recommended) encryption algorithm for modern wireless LANs. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is an older encryption algorithm that provides stronger security than a shared WEP key, but not as strong as the newer AES algorithm. • Auto (TKIP+AES): Auto allows both encryption algorithms to be used on the same WLAN. When Auto is selected, the wireless client decides whether TKIP or AES is used. Note however that allowing TKIP reduces the performance of the WLAN (as broadcast packets are limited to slower transfer rates), and is therefore not recommended.

NOTE Do not customize these options unless you are an experienced network administrator or are under the guidance of an IT/support professional. In 802.1X authentication, the supplicant sends access request messages along with credentials, such as user name/password or digital certificate, to an authenticator, which forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification. The supplicant (client device) remains in an unauthorized state until verification has been received. In unauthorized state, only 802.1X traffic is allowed; all other traffic, such as DHCP and HTTP traffic, is dropped. For its wireless interfaces, the AP can serve as the authenticator communicating between the supplicant and the authentication server. 1. Go to Configuration > Wireless/Radio 2.4G/Radio 5G.

Local Subnet NAT and Route to WAN: This setting allows routing of packets to their destinations using Layer 3 network address translation (NAT). Bridge to L2TP Tunnel: Uses Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol to deliver packets encapsulated with an L2TP header in UDP datagrams. Local Subnet This option appears if you have selected Local Subnet and Route to WAN under Packet Forwarding, and you have selected Access Port as the port type. This option allows you to select which subnet this port's traffic is part of. You must have previously configured a subnet from the Configuration > Local Subnets page before it becomes available here. 802.1X Configure the port as an 802.1X authenticator or supplicant. The following options are available: • Disabled: No 802.1X controls are applied to this port. • Authenticator (Port-based): Only one of the attached MAC hosts must be authorized for all hosts to be granted access to the network. • Authenticator (MAC-based): Each MAC host is individually authenticated. • Supplicant: The port acts as a supplicant to an upstream authenticator. Configure a port as Supplicant if the port is a Trunk Port used to connect the AP to a LAN switch. See Working with 802.1X on Wired Ethernet Ports on page 92 for more information. VLAN Untag ID: Enter a valid VLAN ID in this field to segment traffic arriving on this port to a specific VLAN. Default is 1. Valid VLAN entries are 1-4094.

Setting Ethernet Port Type Configure the Ethernet port type to define the port's VLAN behavior. Ruckus Wireless AP Ethernet ports can be configured as one of the following port types: • Trunk Port on page 91 • Access Port on page 91 90 Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster • General Port on page 91 Trunk Port Trunk Ports forward and receive tagged and untagged frames and are used for bridging switch ports together. The Trunk port is a member of all VLANs that exist on the switch, and all VLAN-tagged traffic arriving on the port is seen. If an untagged frame is received on a Trunk port, the frame is associated with the Untag VLAN (also known as the native VLAN, by default, 1). If a port is configured as a Trunk port, the Untag ID field can be used to define the Untag VLAN--the VLAN that the switch uses for forwarding and filtering when a frame arrives without an 802.1Q header. Access Port Access Ports are used to provide network access. Traffic arriving on different Access Ports can be segmented into different logical networks (VLANs) using the Untag VLAN ID field. Access Ports are members of only one VLAN--the VLAN that is configured in the Untag VLAN field. General Port The General Port can be configured to support multiple tagged VLANs and one untagged VLAN. As Trunk Ports by definition include all VLANs as members, the General Port is the only port type for which membership is user configurable for multiple VLANs. Working with Port-Based VLANs The AP provides options for segmenting all incoming traffic (both wireless and wired Ethernet traffic) into specific VLANs. There are two ways to segment incoming traffic into VLANs: • Each of the wireless interfaces (SSIDs) can be configured with a specific Access VLAN ID: (Configuration > Wireless > Wireless # (WLAN number) > Access VLAN). • Each of the LAN ports can be configured with an Untag VLAN ID (Configuration > Ethernet Ports > VLAN > Untag ID). For Ethernet ports, the behavior of the Untag VLAN ID depends on the Port Type selected. If the port is configured as a Trunk port, it includes all VLANs (1-4094) in its membership. The VLAN Untag ID field (default = 1) can be used to redefine the Native VLAN for the port. If the Ethernet port is configured as an Access Port, it can be configured with only one Untag VLAN ID and its membership includes only that one VLAN. If the Ethernet port is configured as a General Port, it can be configured to include multiple VLANs in its membership and one Untag VLAN. Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide 91 Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster Working with 802.1X on Wired Ethernet Ports This section provides an overview of the 802.1X (WPA-Enterprise) settings for AP Ethernet ports. 802.1X authentication consists of the following three components: • Supplicant: The supplicant sends access request messages along with credentials, such as user name/password or digital certificate, to an authenticator, which forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification. • Authenticator: The authenticator challenges the identity of the supplicant, then passes its credentials to the AAA server. If the credentials are accepted the supplicant is allowed access. • Authentication Server (AAA Server): The AAA server verifies the supplicant's credentials and permits or rejects its request for access. For wired 802.1X, a Ruckus AP's Ethernet port can be configured as either an Authenticator or as a Supplicant, depending on which port type is selected. The following tables describe the 802.1X roles available by port type. Table 29: Authenticator support by port type Port-based mode Trunk Port Access Port General Port X X X MAC-based mode X Table 30: Supplicant support by port type Trunk Port Supplicant Access Port General Port X The following considerations apply: • A single port cannot be configured as both an Authenticator and Supplicant at the same time. • Only one port per AP can be configured as a Supplicant. • If the AP is connecting to a switch port with 802.1X authentication enabled, the AP's port type should be configured as a Trunk Port and its role should be configured as Supplicant. The switch port should be configured as a Trunk port in Port-based Authenticator mode. • If there are multiple devices connected to an AP port (through a downstream switch), the port can be configured as either Port-based or MAC-based Authenticator. In Port-based mode, only one of the attached MAC hosts must be authorized for all hosts to be granted access to the network. In MAC-based mode, each MAC host is individually authenticated. • If a Trunk Port is configured as a Supplicant, a user name and password must be entered to authenticate the port to the 802.1X-aware LAN switch. 92 Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide Configuration Configuring the Access Point for Standalone Operation or Management by FlexMaster • If an Access Port is configured as an Authenticator, the administrator must define the RADIUS server that the Authenticator communicates with. All Ethernet ports of a single AP are configured with the same RADIUS server. Enable MAC authentication bypass If MAC authentication bypass is enabled, the port first attempts to authenticate the attached device by MAC address, and if that fails, it tries to authenticate the device using 802.1X. Configuring Hotspot Service Hotspot service can be deployed on standalone Ruckus Wireless APs through the web interface.

The BLE devices perform whatever tasks they are designed to do without interference from or control (other than supplying USB power) by the Ruckus Wireless network equipment. Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide 120 121 Appendix B: Configuring Link Aggregation (LACP) for AP Backhaul LACP provides a means of aggregating multiple Ethernet ports into one logical link, thereby increasing the maximum uplink throughput beyond the limits of a single port. Some Ruckus APs, including the R610, R710, R720, T610, and T710, can use link aggregation control protocol (LACP) as defined in the 802.1ax (formerly 802.3ad) standard to control the bonding of two 1Gbps physical Ethernet ports together to form a single 2Gbps logical link. The following APs support LACP: • • • • • R610 R710 R720 T610/T610s T710/T710s Link Aggregation and When To Use It Beginning with 802.11ac "Wave 2," some higher capacity APs such as the R710 have become capable of passing wireless traffic in excess of 1Gbps. This only occurs in extreme cases, such as during concurrent dual-band operation over the widest possible channels and highest possible modulation and coding scheme (MCS) rates in each band, with all traffic flowing in the same direction. In such cases, a single Gigabit Ethernet backhaul will saturate and limit the AP's capacity to less than 1Gbps. To alleviate this backhaul limitation, link aggregation can be used to bond multiple Gigabit Ethernet links into a single, high capacity logical link. The AP's link partner, typically an Ethernet switch, must also support LACP and be configured to use this feature. Wi-Fi client capabilities and data demands should be considered before deploying LACP for AP backhaul. For the vast majority of enterprise WLANs, single Gigabit backhaul for APs is more than sufficient. Configuring LACP LACP is configurable via the AP CLI on T710. The set bond command is used with the following syntax: set bond {options} +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ** : bond0, ... ** options: - lacp-rate [0,1], 0 for slow, 1 for fast - xmit-hash [0,1,2], 0 for L(ayer2), 1 for L3+4, 2 Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide 121 Appendix B: Configuring Link Aggregation (LACP) for AP Backhaul for L2+3 - {add|delete} +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Profile (profile) – “bond0” is the only valid profile name. Options: • LACP rate (lacp-rate) defines the rate at which the AP asks its link partner (usually the switch) to transmit LACP control packets (LACPDUs). A faster rate allows the link end-points to respond quicker to any changes on the physical interface (for instance, failover in case of one of the ports is disconnected) at the expense of more overhead. The slow (default) rate is adequate for the vast majority of Enterprise WLAN cases. • Slow (lacp-rate 0) (default) requests link partner to transmit LACPDUs every 30 seconds. • Fast (lacp-rate 1) requests link partner to transmit LACPDUs every one second. • Transmit hash (xmit-hash) defines how the AP chooses to distribute packets between the two physical Ethernet links which comprise the bonded link. Network topology and expected traffic flows should be considered when choosing which transmit hash option to use so as to spread traffic as evenly as possible between the two physical links. • Layer 2 (xmit-hash 0) (default) uses the source & destination MAC addresses in the packet to determine which physical link the packet is sent over. This is a fully-compliant 802.3ad option. • Layer 3 & Layer 4 (xmit-hash 1) uses source & destination IP addresses as well as source & destination ports. This policy uses upper layer protocol information, when available, to generate the hash. This allows packets destined for a particular network peer to be distributed across both physical links, although a single connection is limited to one of the physical links. For fragmented packets, layer 4 information is omitted. This algorithm is not fully 802.3ad compliant. • Layer 2 & Layer 3 (xmit-hash 2) uses source & destination MAC addresses as well as source & destination IP addresses. This algorithm places all traffic to a particular network peer on the same physical link. For non-IP traffic, the formula is the same as for the layer2 transmit hash policy. This policy is intended to provide a more balanced distribution of traffic than layer2 alone, especially in environments where a layer3 gateway device is required to reach most destinations. This algorithm is 802.3ad compliant. • Add or Delete (add|delete) are used to explicitly define which physical Ethernet ports (ethx) are part of the bond interface (bond0). At a bare minimum, to enable LACP on the AP this option must be used to add both physical ports to the bond interface. 122 Outdoor Access Point Release 106.0 User Guide Examples Enable with defaults: :set bond bond0 add eth0 :set bond bond0 add eth1 Enable and modify LACP rate & distribution algorithm: :set bond bond0 add eth0 :set bond bond0 add eth1 :set bond bond0 xmit-hash 1 :set bond bond0 lacp-rate 1 Apply VLANs untag ID to bonded interface: :set interface bond0 type trunk untag 777 Caveats • As of this writing, the controller and AP web UIs do not expose LACP settings or configuration. If an AP is configured via AP CLI to bond its Ethernet ports, then any per-Ethernet port settings in the web UI are ignored by the AP. • Link aggregation between Ethernet and SFP port is not supported.
