Enabling WPA Fast Handover
In the 802.1X Authentication profile, the WPA fast handover feature allows certain WPA clients to use a pre-
authorized PMK, significantly reducing handover interruption. Check with the manufacturer of your handset to
see if this feature is supported. This feature is disabled by default.
This feature supports WPA clients, while opportunistic key caching (also configured in the 802.1X Authentication
profile) supports WPA2 clients.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > AP Configuration page. Select either AP Group or AP Specific.
n If you select AP Group, click Edit for the AP group name for which you want to enable WPA fast
handover.
n If you select AP Specific, select the name of the AP for which you want to enable WPA fast handover.
2. Under Profiles, select Wireless LAN, then Virtual AP. In the Virtual AP list, select the appropriate virtual
AP instance.
3. Select AAA profile. Select the 802.1X Authentication Profile to display in the Profile Details section.
4. Scroll down to select the WPA-Fast-Handover check box.
5. Click Apply.
In the CLI
Use the following commands:
aaa authentication dot1x <profile>
wpa-fast-handover
For deployments where there are expected to be considerable delays between the switch and APs (for
example, in a remote location where an AP is not in range of another Alcatel-Lucent AP) you can increase the
value for the bootstrap threshold in the AP System profile to minimize the chance of the AP rebooting due to
temporary loss of connectivity with the Alcatel-Lucent switch.
Enabling Mobile IP Home Agent Assignment
When you enable IP mobility in a mobility domain, the proxy mobile IP module determines the home agent for
a roaming client. An option related to voice clients that you can enable allows on-hook phones to be assigned a
new home agent to load balance voice client home agents across switches in the mobility domain. See IP
Mobility on page 663 for more information about mobility.
Scanning for VoIP-Aware ARM
ARM scanning on an AP during a call affects the voice quality. You can pause the ARM scanning on the AP when
a call is active by turning on the VoIP-Aware ARM Scanning support to avoid voice quality issues.
You can use the WebUI or CLI to enable VoIP-aware ARM scanning in the ARM profile.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > AP Configuration page. Select either the AP Group or AP Specific.
n If you selected the AP Group tab, click Edit by the name of the AP group with the ARM profile you want
to configure.
n If you selected the AP Specific tab, click Edit by the name of the AP with the ARM profile you want to
configure.
2. In the Profiles list, Expand the RF Management section.
3. Select Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) Profile.
