• Fast Transition — Provides faster roaming by authenticating the device before roaming occurs. This
setting is enabled by default.
• Mobility Domain ID — Used by 802.11r, this setting defines a network scope that supports 11r fast
roaming. Master keys are shared within the Mobility Domain, allowing clients to support fast
roaming.

Privacy Settings for WEP
Important
Always use a restrictive policy to the associated VLAN to reduce your exposure after a breach.
Static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) uses keys for a selected network, that match the WEP
mechanism used on the rest of the network. Each AP can participate in up to 50 networks. Specify one
WEP key per network.
Note
This option is oered to support legacy APs.
Configure the following privacy settings for a WLAN network:
• WEP Key Length — Select the WEP encryption key length. Valid values are: 64-bit and 128- bit.
• Input Methods — Select one of the following input methods:
◦ Input Hex — If you select Hex, type the WEP key input in the WEP Key box. The key is generated
automatically, based on the input.
◦ Input String — If you select String, type the secret WEP Key string used for encrypting and
decrypting in the WEP Key box.
• Key Index — Select the WEP encryption key index. Valid values are 1 to 4.
• WEP Key — Type the WEP key using the Input Method chosen above.

Mesh Point Network
An access point can be configured to be a part of a mesh network. In a mesh network, nodes in the
network can communicate with each other, and each node can maintain more than one path to its
peers. Mesh networking enables users to access broadband applications anywhere by providing robust,
reliable, and redundant connectivity to all the members of the network. When one of the nodes in a
mesh network becomes unavailable, the other nodes in the network can still communicate with each
other directly or through intermediate nodes.
Mesh provides ecient routing and path changes in infrastructure and mobility modes by proactively
maintaining a table of alternative paths to mesh point root APs. Alternative paths allow root APs the
flexibility to change paths immediately when a better path becomes available. This proactive approach
allows a mesh AP to make intelligent path decisions in a dynamically changing RF environment.
