CCKM with 802.1x authentication

Hi,

Can we use CCKM authentication with 802.1x layer 2 authentication method. I read it one cisco article that we can't use CCKM with 802.1x authentication. Please find the url below, its says that is you choose layer 2 authentication method is 802.1x, then we can't use cckm. Kindly suggest

Yes, You can.

Refer this document which clearly state it

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/8-0/configuration-guide/b_cg80/b_cg80_chapter_01001110.html#ID963

802.1X+CCKM—During normal operation, 802.1X-enabled clients mutually authenticate with a new access point by performing a complete 802.1X authentication, including communication with the main RADIUS server. However, when you configure your WLAN for 802.1X and CCKM fast secure roaming, CCKM-enabled clients securely roam from one access point to another without the need to reauthenticate to the RADIUS server. 802.1X+CCKM is considered optional CCKM because both CCKM and non-CCKM clients are supported when this option is selected.

When roaming, is it normal for connections to drop and the user would have to manually re-connect the network?

That is not normal. You should open a new thread and have all the information you can provide to help us understand what equipment you have, what testing have you done and the issues that you are seeing.
