For information on configuring a native VLAN on a wired profile, see Configuring VLAN for a Wired Profile on page 105. Configuring Fast Roaming for Wireless Clients Instant supports the following features that enable fast roaming of clients: l Opportunistic Key Caching l Fast BSS Transition (802.11r Roaming) l Radio Resource Management (802.11k) l BSS Transition Management (802.11v) Opportunistic Key Caching Instant now supports opportunistic key caching (OKC)-based roaming. In OKC-based roaming, the W-IAP stores one pairwise master key (PMK) per client, which is derived from the last 802.1X authentication completed by the client in the network. The cached PMK is used when a client roams to a new W-IAP. This allows faster roaming of clients between the W-IAPs in a cluster, without requiring a complete 802.1X authentication. OKC roaming (when configured in the 802.1X Authentication profile) is supported on WPA-2 clients. If the wireless client (the 802.1X supplicant) does not support this feature, a complete 802.1X authentication is required whenever a client roams to a new W-IAP. Configuring a W-IAP for OKC Roaming You can enable OKC roaming for 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. Move the slider to the Enterprise security level. On selecting the Enterprise security level, the authentication options applicable to the Enterprise network are displayed.
