On single and dual-band 802.11n APs, the maximum number of service WLANs
deployable per AP radio is 27. These APs support maximum 32 SSIDs per radio, but
five are reserved (two mesh SSIDs and one each for monitor, recovery and scan).
802.11ac APs support up to 27 service WLANs on the 2.4 GHz radio and 13 service
WLANs on the 5 GHz radio.
NOTE
Deploying a large number of WLANs per AP will have a performance impact.
Ruckus Wireless recommends deploying no more than eight WLANs per AP radio.
About Ruckus Wireless WLAN Security
One of the first things you should decide for each WLAN you create is which methods
of authentication and encryption to use for both internal users and guests.
Authentication options include:
• Open
• 802.1X EAP
• MAC Address
• 802.1X EAP + MAC Address
Encryption options depend on which type of authentication is chosen. Open authentication
allows the use of WPA2, WEP or no encryption. Open authentication/WPA2 encryption
WLANs (also known as WPA-Personal) are the most common type of WLAN and should
be the default configuration if there are no special requirements for authentication or
encryption.
The 802.1X EAP (WPA-Enterprise) authentication method provides effective authentication
regardless of whether you deploy WEP, WPA2 or no encryption, and requires a back-end
authentication server.
You can also choose to authenticate clients by MAC address. MAC address
authentication requires a RADIUS server and uses the MAC address as the user login
name and password.
The 802.1X EAP + MAC Address authentication option allows clients to authenticate to
the same WLAN using either MAC address or 802.1X authentication. (However, this
requires that the supplicant support this feature, which no public domain supplicants
currently do.)
All client authentication options (Open, 802.1X, MAC, and 802.1X+MAC) are detailed in
on page 141, and you can learn how to apply them to your WLANs in
the same section.
