Command Usage
• The access point uses EAPOL (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.
