Wireless Networks Overview

In this section:

1. Creating a Network That Uses a Passphrase (PSK/SAE)
   You can create a network that requires users to enter a passphrase (PSK/SAE).
2. Creating a Network That Uses a Dynamic Pre-Shared Key
   You can create a network that uses Dynamic Pre‑Shared Key (DPSK) authentication. DPSK dynamically assigns a unique passphrase to each user, providing secure access to the network.
3. Creating a Network That Uses an Enterprise AAA Server
   You can create a network that authenticates users against a remote Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server. Before you begin, note the IP address, port, and shared secret for your primary and (if applicable) secondary RADIUS servers.
4. Creating a Network That Uses Hotspot 2.0 Access
   You can create a Wi-Fi hotspot network that automatically and securely authenticates users while roaming.
5. Creating a Network That Uses Cloudpath Onboarding
   You can learn to create a network that authenticates users using Ruckus Cloudpath.
6. Creating a Network That Uses a Captive Portal with Click-Through
   You can create a network that allows users attempting to join the network using the Click-Through portal option to gain access.
7. Creating a Network That Uses a Captive Portal with Self Sign In
   You can create a network that allows users to authenticate using social media or self-registration credentials.
8. Creating a Network That Uses a Cloudpath Captive Portal
   You can learn to create a network that allows users to connect through an enhanced captive portal experience with Cloudpath.
9. Creating a Network That Uses a Captive Portal with Host Approval
   You can create a network that allows users attempting to join the network through a captive portal after obtaining approval from the host.
10. Creating a Network That Uses a Captive Portal with a Guest Pass
    You can create a network that allows users attempting to join the network to use a guest pass generated by an administrator to gain access.
11. Creating a Network That Uses a Third-Party Captive Portal (WISPr Feature)
    You can create a network that allows users to access the network through a third-party captive portal, authenticated by a RADIUS server.
12. Creating a Network That Uses a Captive Portal with Active Directory (AD) or LDAP Server
    You can create a captive portal network that allows users to join by entering an organization-based username and password, which are authenticated by an associated Active Directory (AD) server or an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server.
13. Creating a Network That Uses a Captive Portal with SAML Identity Provider (IdP)
    You can create a captive portal network that allows users to join by entering their organization-based credentials using the SAML Identity Provider (IdP) for secure Single Sign-On (SSO).
14. Creating an Open Network
    You can create a network that allows users to join the network without going through an authentication process.
15. Creating a Captive Portal Network That Uses a Workflow Portal
    A Workflow‑based Captive Portal network enables device onboarding through a published workflow and applies security, walled‑garden, accounting, and proxy settings that you configure for the network.
16. Configuring Additional Settings for a Wi-Fi Network
    While creating a new network or modifying an existing network, you can configure a range of additional options that give you a high degree of control over the way the network functions.
