The AP then establishes the Ruckus GRE tunnel with the first IP address in the list. When a controller goes down, the AP maintains the same tunnel with the data plane until the data plane goes down</SPAN></P> Wed, 23 Jul 2025 09:50:30 GMT https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/SmartZone-and-Virtual-SmartZone/SZ-144-Under-Ruckus-GRE-what-is-Tunnel-Failover/m-p/107936#M5961 Ambika-leimapok 2025-07-23T09:50:30Z
