Configuring Ruckus Controllers for MAC Registration

This section describes how to configure the Ruckus Zone Director, SmartZone, and Unleashed controllers for MAC registration, authenticating devices against a RADIUS server.

The screen shots and corresponding instructions about the controllers are based on the following Ruckus Controller versions:

  • ZoneDirector 10.1.1
  • Virtual SmartZone 3.6.0 (High Scale)
  • Unleashed 200.6

If you are using different versions of any controller, please consult your controller documentation because you may encounter some differences in the user interface.

If your environment uses Cisco controllers, see Configuring a Cisco Controller for MAC Registration.
