CHAPTER 6: COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
• When 802.1X is required, the access point enforces 802.1X authentication
for all 802.11 associated stations. If 802.1X authentication is not initiated
by the station, the access point will initiate authentication. Only those
stations successfully authenticated with 802.1X are allowed to access the
network.
• 802.1X does not apply to the 10/100Base-TX port.
Example
802.1x broadcast-key-refresh-rate
This command sets the interval at which the broadcast keys are refreshed for
stations using 802.1X dynamic keying.
Syntax
802.1x broadcast-key-refresh-rate <rate>
rate - The interval at which the access point rotates broadcast keys.
(Range: 0 - 1440 minutes)
Default Setting
0 (Disabled)
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
• The access point uses Outdoor 11a Building to Building OL (Extensible
Authentication Protocol Over LANs) packets to pass dynamic unicast
session and broadcast keys to wireless clients. The 802.1x
broadcast-key-refresh-rate command specifies the interval after which
the broadcast keys are changed. The 802.1x session-key-refresh-rate
command specifies the interval after which unicast session keys are
changed.
• Dynamic broadcast key rotation allows the access point to generate a
random group key and periodically update all key-management capable
wireless clients.
