Extended Capabilities IE

- The extended capabilities IE carries information about the capabilities of an IEEE

802.11 station.

Beacon Report Requests and Probe Responses

The beacon request frame is sent by an AP to request a client to report the list of beacons heard by the client on all

channels.

l The beacon request is sent using the radio measurement request action frame.

l It is sent only to those clients that have the capability to generate beacon reports. The clients indicate their

capabilities through the

RRM enabled capabilities IE

sent in the association request frames.

l By default, the beacon request frames are sent at a periodicity of 60 seconds.

(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# dot11k

(Instant AP)(config)# end

(Instant AP)# commit apply

To view the beacon report details:

show ap dot11k-beacon-report <mac>

To view the neighbor details:

show ap dot11k-nbrs

BSS Transition Management (802.11v)

The 802.11v standard provides Wireless Network Management enhancements to the IEEE 802.11 MAC and PHY. It

extends radio measurements to define mechanisms for wireless network management of stations including BSS

transition management.

W-IAPs support the generation of the BSS transition management request frames to the 802.11k clients when a

suitable AP is identified for a client through client match.
