• 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.
802.1x broadcast-key-refresh-rate <rate>
rate - The interval at which the access point rotates broadcast keys.
(Range: 0 - 1440 minutes)
0 (Disabled)
Global Configuration
• The access point uses AP 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.
