Command Line Reference
802.1X Authentication
Command Mode
SSID Wireless Interface Configuration
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.
