Working with 3rd Party AP Zones
In this chapter:
• 3rd Party AP Zone Types
• Adding a 3rd Party AP Zone
• Viewing Existing 3rd Party AP Zones
• Deleting a 3rd Party AP Zone
The controller connects to 3rd party AP zones the same way as it does to Ruckus Wireless AP zones.
The controller receives RADIUS messages directly from 3rd party APs and supports multiple 3rd party
AP zones. It connects to 3rd party AP's using QinQ for data traffic. Access network interface to APs
from the controller via QinQ contains UE MAC. 3rd party APs are managed by 3rd party AP controller
where the controller acts as a wireless access gateway (WAG). APs are grouped under 3rd party AP
zones based on Access C-VLAN and S-VLAN range. Each 3rd party AP zone is identified by a list of
IP addresses, ranges, and subnets used by the APs for sending RADIUS traffic to the controller. A
3rd party AP zone ID" is generated internally for each zone. Each 3rd party AP zone is associated
with a single "3rd party AP zone".
Supported authentication and accounting procedures are the same as Ruckus Wireless APs.
This section covers:
3rd Party AP Zone Types
There are three types of 3rd party AP zones, which are determined by their configuration
combinations.
The following configuration combinations determine the type of 3rd party AP zone.
1. Access network type (L2oGRE, Q-in-Q L2)
2. Core network type (TTG+PDG, Bridge)
3. Authentication method (Open, 802.1X, WISPr)
The following table lists the configuration combinations.
