SmartZone Data Plane | |
---|---|
Secured data plane tunneling | Enables forwarding of user data traffic through secure tunnels on RUCKUS APs when managed by Virtual SmartZone controllers. |
Multiple hypervisor support |
Supports the most widely deployed VMware and KVM hypervisors |
NFV flexible architecture |
Complete separation of Control+Management plane (vSZ) and data plane functions (SmartZone Data Plane) via separate VMs that support distributed and centralized deployments providing compelling architecture flexibility. |
Works seamlessly with virtual SmartZone |
vSZ acts as the controller for RUCKUS APs as well as SmartZone Data Plane providing seamless configuration and management capabilities. |
Up to 10 SmartZone Data Planes per vSZ and up to
40 SmartZone Data Planes per cluster |
The vSZ controller runs in Active/Active (3+1) mode for extremely high availability. Each SmartZone Data Plane runs as an independent virtual machine instance that is managed by the vSZ controller. |
vSZ Zone affinity for SmartZone Data Plane |
This feature enables RUCKUS APs in a particular zone establish tunnels with the SmartZone Data Plane in that particular zone. Provides flexibility for distributed and managed services deployments where the SmartZone Data Planes can be co-located on-premise with RUCKUS APs (vSZ Zones) on medium/large high density sites that need tunneling. With up to 40 SmartZone Data Planes per cluster, the SZ 3.5 release can potentially support a large number of such distributed deployments. |
DHCP server and NAT |
This feature enables a high scale DHCP Server on the SmartZone Data Plane. The DHCP Server is a high-scale server specifically designed and architected for Wi-Fi deployments that provide near-real time IP address assignment combined with NAT this provides tremendous value to the operator since it avoids mac-address scaling limits and high costs on the network infrastructure (switches). |
Legal Intercept |
This feature is useful from a Legal Intercept requirements perspective and enables the ability to mirror packets in both uplink and downlink directions for Wi-Fi clients that have a CALEA warrant. |
Support for northbound tunnels L2oGRE |
This feature enables SmartZone Data Plane to forward WiFi client traffic to a specified 3rd party WAG (Wireless Access Gateway) over L2oGRE protocol standard. |
IPv6 support |
Supports IPv6 addressing for the SmartZone Data Plane interfaces as well as support forwarding of IPv6 client traffic |
L3 Roaming (inter SmartZone Data Plane tunnels) |
This feature enables L3 Roaming when traffic is tunneled to the SmartZone Data Plane. The feature relies on inter SmartZone Data Plane flexi-vpn tunnels that are dynamically created with minimal user intervention. L3 Roaming can be enabled based on VLANs or subnets. |
