6.8 Passpoint Policy
Wireless Configuration
A Passpoint Policy provides a mechanism by which devices can select the correct network by querying for information from the
available networks and then deciding which network to associate with. A Passpoint policy is associated to a WLAN to enable
the WLAN to provide hotspot services.
A Passpoint policy contains configuration that enables a client to query a network for information such as WAN metric, domain
names and other relevant information. Only relevant information is presented to the client which enables it to decide with
network to join.
To define a Passpoint Policy:
1. Select Configuration.
2. Select Wireless.
3. Select Passpoint Policy to display existing Passpoint policies.
