DescriptionOption
This setting is available only with WPA encryption and 802.1X
authentication. Dynamic VLAN allows the dynamic assignment
of VLANs to clients based on RADIUS attributes. Enable this
option only if your RADIUS server is configured to segment clients
using dynamic VLAN.
Dynamic VLAN
When this option is enabled on an SSID, additional information
is encapsulated in DHCP option 82 and inserted into DHCP
request packets. Current format of option 82 is: Circuit ID
sub-option: WLAN:<IFNAME>:<VLAN>:<SSID>:<MODEL>:
<HOSTNAME>:<DEVMAC> This option supports the ability for
a service provider to allocate IP addresses intelligently by
considering information on the origin of the IP allocation request.

When this option is enabled, the AP attempts to identify client
devices by their operating system, device type and host name,
if available.

By default, all data exchanges on your wireless network are not
encrypted, but you can select an encryption method in this option,
and use the extra workspace features that appear to fine-tune
the encryption settings. Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends
using WPA as the encryption method as WEP is easily
circumvented. For more information, refer to either
Using WEP on page 106 or Using WPA on page 108.

Using WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security algorithm for 802.11 wireless networks
designed to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a wired network.
WEP uses a pre-shared key for encrypting data frames that is shared among all users
of the wireless network. For this reason and others, WEP has been discredited as a
security mechanism and should be avoided in favor of WPA if at all possible.
CAUTION! WEP encryption is easily circumvented. Therefore, Ruckus Wireless
recommends using WPA whenever possible, and only use WEP if your client devices
do not support WPA.
