To configure machine and user authentication roles
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-role-machine-auth <machine_only> <user_only>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To configure unrestricted access:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-role-unrestricted
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Example
The following example configures access rules for the wireless network:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan access-rule WirelessRule
(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule 192.0.2.2 255.255.255.0 match 6 4343 4343 log
classify-media
(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match app deny throttle-downstream 256
throttle-up 256
(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match appcategory collaboration permit
(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match webcategory gambling deny

Configuring Fast Roaming for Wireless Clients
Instant supports the following features that enable fast roaming of clients:
l Opportunistic Key Caching
l Fast BSSTransition (802.11r Roaming)
l Radio Resource Management (802.11k)
l BSS Transition Management (802.11v)
Opportunistic Key Caching
Instant now supports opportunistic key caching (OKC) based roaming. In the OKC based roaming, the AP stores
one pairwise master key (PMK) per client, which is derived from last 802.1X authentication completed by the
client in the network. The cached PMK is used when a client roams to a new AP. This allows faster roaming of
clients between the W-IAPs in a cluster, without requiring a complete 802.1X authentication.
OKC roaming (when configured in the 802.1X Authentication profile) is supported on WPA2 clients. If the
wireless client (the 802.1X supplicant) does not support this feature, a complete 802.1X authentication is
required whenever a client roams to a new AP.
Configuring a W-IAP for OKC Roaming
You can enable OKC roaming for WLANSSID by using Instant UI or CLI.
