Access VLAN Enter a VLAN ID to segment all traffic arriving from this WLAN to

a specified VLAN. Default is 1.

Dynamic VLAN 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.

Insert DHCP

option 82

When this option is enabled on an SSID, additional information

will be 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>:

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.

Encryption

Method

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 has been proven to be easily

circumvented.

For more information, see either “Using WEP”

on page 54 or

“Using WPA” on page 56.
