You can configure a SoftGRE tunnel profile that, when applied at the network level for a venue, directs all encapsulated data traffic to a third-party, centralized gateway.

1. On the RUCKUS One web interface, navigate to Network Control > Policies & Profiles.
   The Polices & Profiles page is displayed.
2. Click SoftGRE.
3. Click Add SoftGRE Profile.
   The Add SoftGRE page is displayed.

   

4. Profile Name: Enter a name for the profile ranging from 2 through 32 characters. Each SoftGRE profile name must be unique.
5. Description: (Optional) Enter the description for the SoftGRE profile.
6. Primary Gateway IP Address or FQDN: Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the primary gateway server.
7. Secondary Gateway IP Address or FQDN: (Optional) Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the secondary gateway server. Both the Primary and Secondary Gateway addresses must be different within a single SoftGRE profile.
8. Gateway Path MTU: Set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the gateway path.
   Select one of the following options:

   • Auto: This is the default option.
   • Manual: The transmission range is from 1500 through 9018 bytes.

   Note:

   Check Ethernet MTU on the AP as the Tunnel MTU gets applied only if it is lesser than Ethernet MTU value.

9. ICMP Keep Alive Interval: Enter the time interval in seconds. The time interval refers to how often APs send a keep-alive message to the active third-party WLAN gateway. The range is 1 to 180 seconds, and the default value of 10 seconds.
10. ICMP Keep Alive Retries: Enter the number of keep-alive attempts. Keep-alive attempts refer to the number of times APs wait for a response from the active third-party WLAN gateway before failing over to the standby gateway. The range is 2 to 10 attempts, and the default is 5 attempts.
11. Disassociate Clients on Tunnel Failover: Enable this option to disassociate the client when the AP fails over to another tunnel.
12. Click Add.
