This MIB provides information about WLAN roaming configuration.

GLOSSARY

IEEE 802.11
Standard to encourage interoperability among
wireless networking equipment.

Access point (AP)
Transmitter/receiver (transceiver) device
that commonly connects and transports data
between a wireless network and a wired network.

Access control (AC)
To control and manage multi-APs, it will bridge
wireless and wired network.

BSS
IEEE 802.11 Basic Service Set (Radio Cell).  The
BSS of an AP comprises of the stations directly
associating with the AP.

Radio
The chip set to receive and send wireless signal.

HA
The AC to which a wireless station is connected by
associating with an AP for the first time is the
HA of the station.

FA
An AC that is other than the HA and to which a
station is currently connected is an FA of the
station.

Fast-roam capable station
A wireless station which directly associates to
a fast-roam service (rsn+dot1X) with one AC for
the first time.

Roam-out station
A wireless station which has associated with an
AC other than the HA in the mobility-group is
referred to as a roam-out station at its HA.

Roam-in station
A wireless station which has associated with an
AC other than the HA in the mobility-group is
referred to as a roam-in station at the FA.

Intra-AC roaming
A procedure where a wireless station roams from
one AP to another AP, which are connected to the
same AC.

Inter-AC roaming
A procedure where a wireless station roams from
one AP to another AP, which are connected to
different ACs.

Inter-AC fast roaming capability
If a station uses 802.1x (RSN) authentication
through negotiation, this station has inter-AC
fast roaming capability.

WLAN-tunnel
One type of layer 2 interface which is bound with
an IACTP data tunnel and used to tunnel
unicast/broadcast frames between ACs.
