SmartZone Domains

The SmartZone 300 and Virtual SmartZone High-Scale platforms are designed to meet the needs of large enterprises and service providers. These advanced platforms offer robust features, including the ability to create Domains and Partner Domains for effective network segmentation. Each Domain or Partner Domain provides separate administrative access and can be configured with tailored network services. This flexibility allows organizations to efficiently manage diverse and unrelated network domains within their infrastructure.

RUCKUS recommends utilizing Domains specifically when there is a need to establish distinct administrative boundaries within a network environment. In essence, Domains are employed to segregate different administrative realms, ensuring that each administrator is responsible for managing only a designated Domain. This segmentation restricts their access and prevents them from viewing or controlling other Domains within the network. By implementing Domains in this manner, organizations can enhance security, streamline management tasks, and maintain clear delineations of administrative responsibilities across their network infrastructure.

Designed for smaller enterprises, the SZ144 and Virtual SmartZone Essentials platforms do not support the options for multiple Domains and Partner Domains. Instead, these controllers automatically generate a single default System Domain, within which AP Zones and AP groups can be created.
