Configuring L2TP Connection Settings
You can implement transparent bridging with Ruckus Wireless APs by using L2TP
(Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) tunneling. By tunneling traffic from a Ruckus Wireless
AP to a centralized data center, access controllers with policy enforcement software
can apply rules and services. In a typical WLAN implementation, these rules include
a captive portal to authenticate users’ credentials.
In the case of L2TP, the Ruckus Wireless AP functions as a remote bridge. As such,
it forwards traffic into PPP sessions over the L2TP tunnel. This implementation
ensures that you have complete visibility into MAC addresses of users, as individual
Wi-Fi clients are essentially placed (bridged) onto the ISP’s core network.
