4. Configure the following:
   1. Name: Type a name for the profile.
   2. Description: Type a description for the profile.
   3. Ruckus Tunnel Model: Select a protocol to use for tunneling WLAN traffic back to the controller.
      • GRE + UDP: Select this option to allow APs behind a NAT server to tunnel WLAN traffic back to the controller.
      • GRE: Select this option to tunnel regular WLAN traffic only.
   4. Tunnel Encryption: Select the Enable tunnel encryption check box if you want managed APs to decrypt 802.11 packets, and then use an AES encrypted tunnel to send them to the controller. By default, when WLAN traffic is tunneled to the controller, only the management traffic is encrypted; data traffic is unencrypted.
   5. WAN Interface MTU: Set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the tunnel to either Auto (default) or Manual (a specific size 850 to 1500 bytes). MTU is the size of the largest protocol data unit that can be passed on the controller network.
   6. Click OK.
