Command Usage
•Use this command for the default interface or any of the seven VAPs configurable per radio interface.
•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.
