Configure User Profile Traffic Tunneling Settings

Create a user profile.

You can enable three types of GRE traffic tunneling for a user profile: Layer 3 Roaming, Identity-based, or Standard GRE tunneling.

  • Layer 3 Roaming allows you to adjust roaming thresholds so that a device disassociates with a wireless client that has roamed to it from another subnet and has either been idle for a period of time, or whose traffic has dropped below a specified threshold.
  • Identity-based traffic tunneling tunnels guest traffic directly to the network.
  • Standard GRE tunneling tunnels traffic to non-Extreme Networks tunnel endpoints.
  1. Turn on Traffic Tunneling (GRE).
  2. For Layer 3 Roaming:
    1. Enter a time period between 10 and 600 seconds.
    2. Enter a threshold number between 0 and 2147483647 packets per minute.
  3. For Identity-Based Traffic Tunneling:
    1. For the Tunnel Source, select a subnet from the drop-down list, or add a new subnet.
      To add a new IP address or host name, see Add IP Objects and Host Names.
    2. For Tunnel Destination, choose an IP address or host name from the drop-down list or add a new address or host name.
      To add a new IP Address or Host Name, see Add IP Objects and Host Names.
    3. For Tunnel Authentication, enter the password the AP uses to authenticate to the GRE termination point.
  4. For Standard GRE Tunneling:
    1. For Tunnel Destination, choose an IP address or host name from the drop-down list or add a new address or host name.
      To add a new IP address or host name, see Add IP Objects and Host Names.
    2. If you select Tunnel Mode dot1q, enter, select, edit, or add the 802.1Q native VLAN ID.
      To add a VLAN ID, see Configure VLAN Settings.
    3. If you select Tunnel Mode Access Mode, enter, select, edit, or add the VLAN ID.
      To add a VLAN ID, see Configure VLAN Settings.
  5. Select Save.
