Wlan Usage; Authentication Options - Ruckus Wireless SmartCell Gateway 200 Getting Started Manual

WLAN Usage

• In Access Network, select the Tunnel WLAN traffic to SCG check box if you want
to tunnel the traffic from this WLAN back to the SCG. Tunnel mode enables
wireless clients to roam across different APs on different subnets. If the WLAN
has clients that require uninterrupted wireless connection (for example, VoIP
devices), Ruckus Wireless recommends enabling tunnel mode. When you
enable this option, you need to select core network for tunneling WLAN traffic
back to the SCG.
• In Authentication Type, click one of the following options:
• Standard usage (For most regular wireless networks): This is a regular
WLAN suitable for most wireless networks.
• Hotspot service (WISPr): Click this option if want to use a hotspot (WISPr)
service that you previously created.
• Guest Access + Hotspot 2.0 Onboarding: Click this option if you want
guest users to use this WLAN and offer Hotspot 2.0 service to guest users.
• Web Authentication: Click this option if you want to require all WLAN users
to complete a web-based logon to this network every time they attempt to
connect.
• Hotspot 2.0 Access: Click this option if you want a Hotspot 2.0 operator
profile that you previously created to use this WLAN. See the Hotspot 2.0
Reference Guide for this release.
• Hotspot 2.0 Secure Online Signup (OSEN): Click this option if you want to
use this WLAN for Hotspot 2.0 OSEN. See the Hotspot 2.0 Reference Guide
for this release for more information.

Authentication Options

Authentication defines the method by which users are authenticated prior to gaining
access to the WLAN. The level of security should be determined by the purpose of
the WLAN you are creating.
• Open [Default]: No authentication mechanism is applied to connections. If WPA
or WPA2 encryption is used, this implies WPA-PSK authentication.
• 802.1X/EAP: Uses 802.1X authentication against a user database.
NOTE: For proxy and non-proxy cases, 802.1x is disabled for authentication and
accounting with WISPr. You can choose AAA from the zone within which the WLAN
is configured.
