d. Select Mandatory or Optional under Authenticated Key Management. If you select Mandatory,
only clients that support CCKM can associate using the SSID. If you select Optional, both CCKM
clients and clients that do not support CCKM can associate using the SSID.
e. Check the CCKM check box.
Step7 Click Apply.

CLI Configuration Example

This example shows the CLI commands that are equivalent to the steps listed in the “Configuring Access
Points to Support Fast Secure Roaming” section on page12-23:
AP# configure terminal
AP(config)# dot11 ssid fastroam
AP(config-ssid)# authentication network-eap eap_methods
AP(config-ssid)# authentication key-management cckm
AP(config-ssid)# exit
AP(config)# interface dot11radio0
AP(config-if)# encryption mode ciphers ckip-cmic
AP(config-if)# ssid fastroam
AP(config-if)# exit
AP(config)# end
In this example, the SSID fastroam is configured to support Network EAP and CCKM, the CKIP-CMIC
cipher suite is enabled on the 2.4-GHz radio interface, and the SSID fastroam is enabled on the 2.4-GHz
radio interface.
For complete descriptions of the commands used in this example, consult the Cisco IOS Command
Reference for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges.
Configuring Management Frame Protection
Management Frame Protection operation requires a WDS and is available on 32 Mb platforms only (s:
1130 and 1240 series access points, and 1300 series access points in AP mode.). MFP is configured at
the WLSE, but you can configure MFP on an access point and WDS manually.
Note If a WLSE is not present, then MFP cannot report detected intrusions and so has limited effectiveness.
If a WLSE is present, you should perform the configuration from the WLSE.
For complete protection, you should also configure an MFP access point for Simple Network Transfer
Protocol (SNTP).
Management Frame Protection
Management Frame Protection provides security features for the management messages passed between
Access Point and Client stations. MFP consists of two functional components: Infrastructure MFP and
Client MFP.
