Configure SSID and Wireless

Before you begin

Service Set Identifier (SSID) configuration in ExtremeCloud IQ depends on the type of authentication (802.1X or MAC) and the type of RadSec deployed.

ExtremeCloud IQ supports the following configurations:
  • Enterprise 802.1X Authentication with Universal ZTNA RadSec
  • Enterprise 802.1X AutheExtremeCloud IQntication with Universal ZTNA RadSec Proxy
  • Enterprise MAC Authentication with Universal ZTNA RadSec
  • Open MAC Authentication with Universal ZTNA RadSec Proxy
Note

Note

Universal ZTNA RADSEC and ExtremeCloud IQ cloud authentication services cannot co-exist. If any cloud authentication objects are in the virtual IQ, you must use the RADSEC Proxy.
