Feature Overview

The RUCKUS WAN Gateway (RWG) is a next-generation IP data and voice revenue-generating network gateway, combining the latest technologies to maximize operator profitability and minimize cost. RWG delivers a comprehensive set of critical Enterprise network services such as DNS, DHCP, routing/BGP, policy, firewall, micro segmentation, application performance-based WAN routing, event triggers, automation, orchestration, and more.

As an administrator, you will be able to perform the following actions using your RUCKUS One web interface:

• Onboard an RWG device using a valid FQDN or IP address and a valid API key from the RWG platform.
• View and monitor details pertaining to your RUCKUS One managed RWG device at the device level and at the venue level. RWG device-specific data is polled and updated every 5 minutes and you can refresh the data display to obtain real-time data. If RUCKUS One loses connection with RWG for 15 minutes, visual indicators and notifications keep you apprised of status changes. Likewise, if RWG generates any alarms, they are displayed in the RUCKUS One interface.
  Note: RWG data may be incomplete if there are intermittent connection issues between RUCKUS One and RWG. RUCKUS One will stop collecting the periodic RWG data if the RWG API key expires, the RUCKUS license expires, the host name does not exist, or the SSL certificate is invalid. Data collection resumes when the offending condition is resolved

• Validate the data as per the data validation guidelines. After the data validation is passed, RWG will call the RWG device API to check for a valid associated RUCKUS license.
