Preparing the SCG Interface Settings to Use
The SCG appliance includes three network interfaces (see
) that need to
be connected to the network for the appliance to work. When you run the SCG
Setup Wizard later in this chapter, you will be required to assign each of these
interfaces on the SCG a separate set of network settings.
CAUTION!
When you run the Setup Wizard, you must configure the three SCG
interfaces to be on three different subnets. Failure to do so may result in loss of
access to the web interface or failure of system functions and services.
The following network settings are required:
•
IP address: IP address in IPv4. If your network uses IPv6, see
for more information.
•
Netmask
•
Gateway
•
Primary DNS server
•
Secondary DNS server
IPv6 Address Configuration
The controller supports IPv4 and dual IPv4/IPv6 operation modes. If both IPv4 and
IPv6 are used on the network, the controller will keep both IP addresses. APs can
be in V4 or V6 or both based on the zone configuration. By default it will be in IPv4,
and if required you need to enable IPv6. Ruckus ZoneFlex APs operate in dual IPv4/
v6 mode by default, so you do not need to manually set the mode for each AP.
If you enable IPv6, you have the option to manually configure an IP address in IPv6
format (128 bits separated by colons, instead of decimals) or to choose
Auto
Configuration
. If you choose
Manual
, you will need to enter values for the IP
address, prefix length and gateway.
Table 10. SCG interfaces
Interface
Description
AP/DataPlane
Used for AP configuration and client traffic
Cluster
Used for cluster traffic
Management (Web)
Used for management traffic. The IP address that you assign
to this interface will be the IP address through which you can
access the SCG via SSH or Web GUI.
