Root/No-Root: broadcast-key rotation and radio-channel#

[o-ziltener]

Is it right, that I could configure only on the root the broadcast-key and not on the Non-Root?

The same story with the radio-channel?

Could anybody confirm this?

any input is very welcome

Yes, you can configure broadcast key rotation and radio channel on AP or root bridge.

Non-root bridge is an infrastructure client. It is no different than a normal wireless clients, in terms of broadcast key rotation and radio channel. Non-root bridge listens to the beacons from the root bridge and determine the radio channel.

The supplicant in the non-root bridge use LEAP or WPA-PSK to authenticate against the root bridge. The root bridge determines the broadcast key rotation settings.
