What is local EAP authentication?

A. Local EAP is a mechanism in which the WLC acts as a authentication server. User credentials are stored locally on the WLC to authenticate wireless clients, which acts as a backend process in remote offices when the server goes down. User credentials can be retrieved either from the local database on the WLC or from an external LDAP server. LEAP, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2, and PEAPv1/GTC are different EAP authentications supported by local EAP.
