• Hotspot 2.0 Secure Onboarding (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.
• WeChat: Click this option if you want the WLAN usage through WeChat.
NOTE: Authentication types such as WeChat, Web Authentication and Guest Access are
not supported by APs in IPv6 mode.
7. In Authentication Options, click the authentication method by which users will be
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: A very secure authentication/encryption method that requires a back-end
authentication server, such as a RADIUS server. Your choice mostly depends on the types
of authentication the client devices support and your local network authentication
environment.
• MAC Address: Authenticate clients by MAC address. MAC address authentication requires
a RADIUS server and uses the client MAC address as the user logon name and password.
You have two options for the MAC address format to use for authenticating clients:
• MAC Authentication: The default password is the device's MAC address. If you want
to set your own authentication password, select the Use user defined text as
authentication password (default is device MAC address) check box, and then
type the password in the box provided.
• MAC Address Format: Select the MAC address format that you want APs to use when
sending authentication requests to the RADIUS server. Select one of the following
supported MAC address formats:
aabbccddeeff (Default format. For example, 0010a42319c0)
AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
AABBCCDDEEFF
aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
8. In Encryption Options, select an encryption method to use.
WPA and WPA2 are both encryption methods certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance and are the
recommended encryption methods. The Wi-Fi Alliance will be mandating the removal of WEP
due to its security vulnerabilities, and Ruckus Wireless recommends against using WEP if
possible.
• WPA2: Enhanced WPA encryption using stronger TKIP or AES encryption algorithm.
