Apple Macbook client connectivity issue

[vijay kumar]

Hi Experts ,

We are having 5508 WLC with code of 7.0.98.218 . We are facing reauthentication issue for Apple MAC clients during roaming. They are prompting for credentials again. Wheras remaining clients and all roaming without any issues.

Kindly suggest on this

George and Scott,

Maybe a little off-topic, but what are your experiences with enabling 802.11k (in conjunction with IOS devices)?

[George Stefanick]

I havent enabled it yet. You ?

I have tested it at a client because he read soooo much about it and wanted it:)  In the end we removed it because of the trap that were being generated and the user experience never changed.  I guess if you were to run Lync/Jabber/softphone on your Apple device, then you might want to try each out to see if it helps, but I would see how things work traditionally first so you have a baseline.

Thanks gentlemen!

@George, no I have not. But I have read some things about it as well and was wondering if there are any real test results out there. I have a customer who runs a lot of Apple iPhones on there network, but all with only 2.4Ghz radios and with the intension to give Lync a try.

My idea was to test it there because I have the feeling that the could probably benefit, but I really want to see numbers :-) So if I get the opportunity to test, I can get a report out of PI and see if there are any differents a week later.
