4. Select the WPA-2 Enterprise or Both (WPA-2 & WPA) option from the Key management drop-down list. When any of these encryption types is selected, Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) is enabled by default. 5. Click Next and then click Finish. In the CLI To disable OKC roaming on a WLAN SSID: (Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "")# opmode {wpa2-aes|wpa-tkip,wpa-aes,wpa2-tkip,wpa2-aes} (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "")# okc-disable (Instant AP)(config)# end (Instant AP)# commit apply To enable OKC roaming on a WLAN SSID: (Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "")# opmode {wpa2-aes| wpa-tkip,wpa-aes,wpa2-tkip,wpa2-aes} (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "")# no okc-disable (Instant AP)(config)# end (Instant AP)# commit apply Fast BSS Transition (802.11r Roaming) 802.11r is a roaming standard defined by IEEE. When enabled, 802.11r reduces roaming delay by preauthenticating clients with multiple target W-IAPs before a client roams to an W-IAP. With 802.11r implementation, clients pre-authenticate with multiple W-IAPs in a cluster. As part of the 802.11r implementation, Instant supports the Fast BSS Transition protocol. The Fast BSS Transition mechanism reduces client roaming delay when a client transitions from one BSS to another within the same cluster. This minimizes the time required to resume data connectivity when a BSS transition happens. Fast BSS Transition is operational only if the wireless client supports 802.11r standard. If the client does not support 802.11r standard, it falls back to the normal WPA-2 authentication method. Configuring a W-IAP for 802.11r support You can configure 802.11r support for a WLAN SSID by using the Instant UI or the CLI. In the Instant UI 1. Navigate to the WLAN wizard (Go to Network > New OR Go to Network > WLAN SSID and click edit). 2. Click the Security tab. 3. Under Fast Roaming, select the 802.11r check box. 4. Click Next and then click Finish. In the CLI To enable 802.11r roaming on a WLAN SSID: (Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile (Instant AP)(SSID Profile )# dot11r (Instant AP)(config)# end (Instant AP)# commit apply Example (Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile dot11r-profile (Instant AP)(SSID Profile "dot11r-profile")# dot11r (Instant AP)(config)# end (Instant AP)# commit apply 98 | Wireless Network Profiles Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide
