RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11r

Cisco newer codes version (8.x train) have support for "mixed mode" 802.11r. Which allows non 80211r clients to connect. Removing the need for dual ssid. I have messed with this in lab and in a test building. I had some issues with some clients not being able to connect. Here is little mo

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11r

We've had to enable it to get iPads to roam properly on a WPA2/EAP/MSChapV2 network. iPads and Macbooks work, so far we haven't found any other device that will associate successfully with 802.11r enabled (but we haven't tried too many, just a few Dell laptops and Android devices.) We obviously ha

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11r

According to Cisco's "Best Practices" site, they do recommend enabling 802.11r, with the following very important caveat: *Note*Non 802.11r clients will *not *be able to connect to this WLAN. Ensure that the clients are 802.11r capabl

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11r

In May, we turned it on for most our SSIDs. We have only seen issues with older laptops and tablets. When this happens, we tell those few users to either use the non 802.11r SSID or upgrade their device/OS. -- Christina Klam Network Engineer Institute for Advanced Study Email: ck...@ias.edu E

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11r

We turned it on for our primary SSID in Cisco code 7.6.130.0 for roughly 4 hours and it was an absolute NIGHTMARE. All device types were unpredictable and unstable. About a third of our 20,000 user devices wouldn't connect at all, the ones that did would frequently drop off the network. Onc

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11r

I know Cisco has added 802.11r so devices can optional use 802.11r if supported starting with version 8.0. I have been looking forward to using version 8.0, but the number of caveats has kept us away. With version 7.6 802.11r is an all or nothing feature requiring you to create an extra SSID

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11r

To me is another one of those potentially really good features that has just been horribly bungled by Wi-Fi Alliance and vendors. As long as the client base is as horribly capability- fragmented as it is, things like 11r are somewhere betwee a huge gamble and fairly impractical in our environm

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11r

To ALL: I was just wondering if anyone has taken the plunge and enabled 802.11r on their WLAN and if they had any fall out? I know some vendors recommend putting up a second ssid but no one wants to maintain two SSID's. I has been a couple years so maybe the client turnover has solved
