Tunnel Profile

Tunnel mode enables wireless clients to roam across different APs on different subnets. For example, a Wi-Fi network may tunnel end-user traffic by utilizing an SD-LAN service configured with a tunnel profile that supports VLAN to VNI mapping. If the WLAN has clients that require uninterrupted wireless connection (for example, VoIP devices), RUCKUS recommends enabling tunnel mode.

Note: When tunnel mode is enabled on a WLAN, multicast video packets are blocked on that WLAN. Multicast voice packets, however, are allowed.
