Roaming
Select which roaming protocols to be enable
for the wireless profile.
802.11k:
To reduce the time required to roam by allowing the client to more quickly determine which
wireless access point it should roam to next and how. The EWA series wireless access point
support 802.11k protocol and have more information in Beacon Frame send by AP and exchange
message with wireless client device which is support 802.11k protocol, too. BTW, you can be safely
enabled and functioning whether or not client devices support this standard.
802.11r:
The 802.11r protocol allows wireless client devices to pre-authenticate from one wireless access
point to another to reduce the secure handoffs transition time. The wireless client MUST support
802.11r in order to use this feature, if your wireless clients are not support 802.11r then you
should not enabled it.
OKC (Opportunistic Key Caching):
The Opportunistic Key Caching (
OKC
) helps reduce the time needed for authentication from one
wireless access point to another. The OKC operates independently on the EWC wireless controller
and EWA wireless access points, and the wireless client device does require supporting any specific
pre-authentication roaming standards. Recommended the OKC for the highest compatibility used
for all wireless client devices to benefit fast roaming your local wireless environment.
