Creating an AV Profile on an ICX Switch

Using an AV profile that is created from the RUCKUS Unleashed web interface allows the ICX AV switch to effectively handle Audio-Visual traffic.

If a RUCKUS Unleashed AP is directly connected to an ICX switch port, and the ICX username and password has not changed, then the Unleashed network will manage the ICX switch automatically, else click the Manage ICX link and enter the username and password. If an Unleashed AP is not connected to the ICX switch, then add the ICX switch manually by adding the IP address, admin name, and password.

  1. From the main menu, select Wired > Switch List, select an ICX switch that supports AV profile, and click AV Profiles tab.
  2. To add a new AV profile, click on the Add option.
  3. In the Add dialog box, select the ports to which you want to bind an AV profile and enter the AV profile name.

  4. Select the AV Profile Template from the list or click the icon to create a new AV profile template. You can also create an AV profile template by clicking Add in the AV Profile Template (Shared) table.
    1. In the Add dialog box, enter an AV profile template name and description.
      A maximum of eight AV profiles per ICX switch can be created, and a port can only be bound to one AV profile.
    2. Enable PTPv2.
    3. For Quality of Service, create a QoS prioritization rule by clicking Add. Select QoS Type (DSCP), Value, Queue (0 through 6), and click Add.

  5. For Color, select the color for the AV profile.
  6. For Untagged VLAN, enter the untagged VLAN ID.

    The ports bound to an AV profile are set to untagged for that VLAN, while unbound ports are tagged for the same VLAN.

  7. To configure the IGMP settings, select the IGMP checkbox and complete the following steps:
    1. For Querier Version, select V2 or V3.
    2. Enable Querier Election and enter the Querier IP address.
    Note: IGMP and Querier Version settings are pre-configured for the built-in templates. Only for custom templates, you can configure these settings. For the Data AV profile template, IGMP setting is disabled.
  8. To configure the DHCP setting, enable the DHCP Relay checkbox and enter the VLAN IP address, Netmask IP address, and DHCP Server IP address, and then click Add.
