Parameter
Description
Range
Default
venue-type <ven-
ue-type>
Specifies the venue type to be advertised in the IEs
from APs associated with this hotspot profile. The
complete list of supported venue types is described in
Venue Types on page 148
NOTE: This parameter only defines the venue type
advertised in the IEs from hotspot APs. To define the
venue type to be included in ANQP responses, use
the hotspot anqp-venue-name-profile
<profile-name> command.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure a hotspot profile. 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, GAS
and 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 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.
GAS Queries
An OI is a unique identifier assigned to a service provider when it registers with the IEEE
registration authority. An AP can include its service provider OI in beacons and probe
responses to clients. If a client recognizes the OI, it will attempt to associate to the AP using
the security credentials corresponding to that service provider.
If the client does
not
recognize the OI, that client can send a GAS query to the AP to request
more information more about the network before associating.
