Type of Pairwise Master Key (PMK) caching to use when WPA2 is in use.

 

 

PMK caching is designed to speed up roaming between APs by allowing the

 

 

client and the AP to cache the results of 802.1X authentications, eliminating

 

 

the need to communicate with the ACS server. Standard PMK is used when

 

 

there are no controllers. The reauthentication information is cached on the

 

 

original AP. The client and the AP use the cached information to perform the

 

 

four-way handshake to exchange keys. Opportunistic PMK (OPMK) is used

 

 

when there are controllers. The reauthentication information cached on the

PMK Caching

Standard

controllers. The client and the controller behind the AP use the cached infor-

 

 

mation to perform the four-way handshake to exchange keys.

 

 

If the selected PMK caching method is not supported by the network infra-

 

 

structure, every roam requires full 802.11X authentication, including inter-

 

 

action with the ACS server.

 

 

If the active profile is using WPA2 CCKM, the global PMK Caching setting is

 

 

ignored and the client attempts to use CCKM.

 

 

Options are: Standard, OPMK

 

 

This change does not take effect until after a Suspend/Resume cycle.
