Overview of PEAP Configuration

Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is one of several methods available for user authentication in Cloudpath.

PEAP is a username/password-based method of authentication.

Note: PEAP requires you to already have an external RADIUS server. This document provides the steps on how to configure your controller and your Cloudpath system to communicate with your external RADIUS server. (The Cloudpath onboard RADIUS server does not support PEAP authentication.)

If you will be using a Ruckus ZoneDirector controller to set up PEAP, follow the procedures in these sections:

  1. Set up the AAA Authentication Server on the Ruckus ZoneDirector Controller
  2. Configuring a PEAP WLAN on a Ruckus ZoneDirector Controller
  3. Configuring PEAP on Cloudpath to Integrate with the Ruckus Controller

If you will be using a Ruckus SmartZone controller to set up PEAP, follow the procedures in these sections:

  1. Set up the AAA Authentication Server on the Ruckus SmartZone Controller
  2. Conifguring a PEAP WLAN on a Ruckus SmartZone Controller
  3. Configuring PEAP on Cloudpath to Integrate with the Ruckus Controller
