RCWA RUCKUS Exam Lab Questions

Thevirtual SmartZone Essentials (vSZ-E)controller provides centralized management for up to10,000 APs and 1,000 switches, making it ideal for large distributed enterprises that prefer self-hosted or cloud-based control.

According toRUCKUS One Online Help – SmartZone Essentials Overview, vSZ-E offers:

(B)Scalability to meet medium-to-large enterprise requirements (well above 3,000 employees).

(C)Centralized management for Wi-Fi and wired networks, including policy enforcement and firmware control.

(D)Cloud-hosted deployment capability, including operation in environments such asAWS,Azure, orVMware.

UnlikevSZ-H, vSZ-E does not supportmulti-tenancyorPartner/Administrative Domains, and it does not natively tunnel user data back to the cloud; data is locally bridged unless configured via GRE or VPN.

AnApplication Policyin SmartZone defines actions applied to identified applications or categories of traffic traversing a WLAN. UsingDeep Packet Inspection (DPI), RUCKUS APs recognize application types and enforce predefined behaviors.

According toRUCKUS One Online Help – Application Policy Configuration, the supported rule actions include:

(A) QoS:Assigns priority levels to traffic (Voice, Video, Best Effort, Background) for latency and throughput management.

(B) Deny:Blocks specific applications or categories (e.g., streaming or gaming) to preserve network performance.

(D) Rate Limit:Restricts bandwidth available to defined applications, ensuring fair use of airtime and bandwidth resources.

InSmartZone,Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnelsare used to encapsulate client traffic and forward it to a remote gateway, typically for security or centralized routing.

As described inRUCKUS One Online Help – GRE Tunneling Configuration, a tunnel profile becomes available for WLAN association only when it is explicitlylinked to an AP Zone. This ensures that all APs in the zone can apply the correct tunnel endpoint and keying parameters.

If a GRE profile is not mapped to a zone, it will not appear in theWLAN configuration dropdown, even if successfully created.

Other options are incorrect because SmartZone supports GRE for WLANs by design, split-tunnel profiles are optional, and tunnel count limitations are far higher than typical enterprise use.
