If you use any other controller vendor, just follow [Integrating RADIUS](/v3/docs/integrating-radius). ## Ruckus Cloud You will first need to create a new network in IronWifi. 1. Log in to the [IronWifi console](https://console.ironwifi.com/). 2. Create a new network. 3. Create a new captive portal, making sure you select Ruckus NBI as the vendor. Once your network and its captive portal are created in IronWifi, you can move to the Ruckus configuration. 1. Log in to your ruckus cloud dashboard at [cloud.ruckuswireless.com](https://cloud.ruckuswireless.com). 2. Go to Networks and create a new network with the following settings: **Network Name** - *Guest Wifi* or any other name of your choice **Type** - *Captive Portal* 1.

Here is how you can disable this MAC address encryption. 1. Log in to your Ruckus virtual controller CLI as a privileged user and run the following command to validate the status of this security feature. ``` # show running-config encrypt-mac-ip ``` 1. Toggle on the config mode and disable the feature by running the following commands. ``` # config (config)# no encrypt-mac-ip ``` *You will be prompted to confirm the command execution.* 1. Confirm that the feature has been disabled by running the following commands from the config mode as shown below. ``` (config)# do show running-config encrypt-mac-ip ``` All done! The MAC address encryption is disabled and the MAC-based reauthentication feature should now work. Your setup is complete. We recommend you check the setup is working properly by trying to log in to the network as a customer.
