Understanding Hotspot Profiles Hotspot 2.0 is a Wi-Fi Alliance specification based on the 802.11u protocol, which allows wireless clients to discover hotspots using management frames (such as beacon, association request, and association response), connect to networks, and roam between networks without additional authentication.

Hotspot Profiles

This chapter describes the following procedures:

Understanding Hotspot Profiles on page 361

Configuring Hotspot Profiles on page 363

Sample Configuration on page 374

In the current release, Instant supports the hotspot profile configuration only through the CLI.

Understanding Hotspot Profiles

Hotspot 2.0 is a Wi-Fi Alliance specification based on the 802.11u protocol, which allows wireless clients to

discover hotspots using management frames (such as beacon, association request, and association response),

connect to networks, and roam between networks without additional authentication.

The Hotspot 2.0 provides the following services:

Network discovery and selection— Allows the clients to discover suitable and available networks by

advertising the access network type, roaming consortium, and venue information through the management

frames. For network discovery and selection, Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) and Access Network

Query Protocol (ANQP) are used.

QOS Mapping— Provides a mapping between the network-layer QoS packet marking and over- the-air QoS

frame marking based on user priority.

When a hotspot is configured in a network:

The clients search for available hotspots using the beacon management frame.

When a hotspot is found, the client sends queries to obtain information about the type of network

authentication and IP address, and IP address availability using the Generic Advertisement Service (GAS)

action frames.

Based on the response of the advertisement Server (response to the GAS Action Frames), the relevant

hotspot is selected and the client attempts to associate with it.

Based on the authentication mode used for mobility clients, the client authenticates to access the network.

Generic Advertisement Service (GAS)

GAS is a request-response protocol, which provides L2 transport mechanism between a wireless client and a

server in the network prior to authentication. It helps in determining an 802.11 infrastructure before

associating clients and allows clients to send queries to multiple 802.11 networks in parallel.
