Instant AP Mobility Domain WLAN access parameters.

    Afternoon,

     

    In order for a client to roam within an Instant mobility domain, it is stated that the "WLAN access parameters" must be the same across the layer 3 networks. I understand the configuration of the mobility domain, which seems straightforward, however I would like confirmation of what is meant by identical WLAN access parameters.

     

    Does this refer to the SSID and its associated authentication method, meaning that a client can only roam at layer 3 if the same SSID and authentication are configured across the clusters/swarms in the mobility domain?

     

    Are there any other configurations that need to be consistant across clusters in the mobility domain?

     

    Thanks,

    Johnny.

    You are on the right track:

    - You need the same SSID

    - Authentication type on the SSID

    Thanks Victor - what about 802.1X over a mobility domain? Is it possible to roam without re-authenticating?

    Do you have OKC enabled ?

    For the sake of argument, lets say yes. In that case, would the pairwise key be shared with other L3 networks.

     

    Thanks,
