Creating a Ruckus GRE Profile

You can configure the Ruckus GRE tunnel profile of the controller to manage AP traffic.

1. Go to Services & Profiles > Tunnels and Ports.
2. Select the Ruckus GRE tab, and then select the zone for which you want to create the profile.
3. Click Create.
   The Create Ruckus GRE Profile page appears.

4. Type a name for the profile in the Name box.
5. Type a description for the profile in the Description box.
6. Select a protocol to use for tunneling WLAN traffic back to the controller by choosing one of the following after clicking the drop-down arrow in the Ruckus Tunnel Model box:
   • 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.
7. To allow managed APs to decrypt 802.11 packets, and then use an AES encrypted tunnel to send them to the controller. select one of the Tunnel Encryption options:
   • Click the Disable radio button to allow only the management traffic to be encrypted; data traffic is unencrypted. This is the default option.
   • Click the AES 128 radio button to use an AES 128-byte encryption tunnel.
   • Click the AES 256 radio button to use an AES 256-byte encryption tunnel.
   MTU is the size of the largest protocol data unit that can be passed on the controller network.
8. Set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the tunnel using one of the Tunnel MTU options:
   • Click the Auto radio button. This is the default option.
   • Click the Manual radio button and enter the maximum number of bytes. For IPv4 traffic the range is from 850-1500 bytes, for IPv6 traffic the range is from 1384 to 1500 bytes.
   MTU is the size of the largest protocol data unit that can be passed on the controller network.
9. Click OK.
