Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

During roaming, the STA needs to be re-authenticated and re-negotiate a key, so services are interrupted for a short period of time. You can enable 802.11r to reduce the number of information exchanges during roaming, thus reducing the network delay.

Precautions

Security policies supported by 802.11r include open system, WPA2+PSK+AES, WPA2+PPSK+AES, and WPA2+802.1X+AES.
The 802.11r fast roaming and Protected Management Frame (PMF) functions are mutually exclusive. If the 802.11r fast roaming function has been configured, the PMF function cannot be configured.
