  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.
