Mobility Domain
—
Specifies the Mobility Domain identifier (MDID) of the FBT VAP. The MDID is used to
indicate a group of APs within an ESS, between which a STA can use fast BSS transition services. Fast BSS
transitions are allowed only between APs that have the same MDID and are within the same ESS. They are not
allowed between APs with different MDIDs or in different ESSs.
•
FT Mode
—
Fast Transition protocol allows Mobile Station (MS) to fully authenticate only with the first AP in
the domain (the group of APs that support FT Protocol and are connected over Distribution System (DS)), and use
shorter association procedure with the next APs in the same domain. Choose one of the following methods of FT:
◦
Over Air
—
In the Over Air method the Mobile Station communicates over a direct 802.11 link to the new
AP.
◦
Over DS
—
In the Over DS method the MS communicates with the new AP via the old AP.
•
R0 Key Holder
—
Specifies the NAS identifier to be sent in the radius Access Request Message. The NAS Identifier
is used as R0 Key holder ID.
•
R1 Key Holder
—
Specifies the R1 key Holder ID that names the holder of PMK-R1 in the authenticator.
•
Remote Key Holder List
—
Select a Remote Key Holder List from the drop down menu that you have created.
Step 4
Click
Save
.
To delete or modify a roaming setting, select it and then click
Delete
or
Edit
.
After configuring the FBT settings, click
Save
to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP
to stop and restart the system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We
recommend that you change AP settings when the WLAN traffic is low.
