Wi-Fi Word of the Day (WOTD)

This is a sample definition for a sample word. Words of the Day are selected from the Words of the Day section.

CCKM support for EAP-types

- a protocol that enables fast 802.1X reauthentication whereby the AP does not have to interact with an 802.1X authentication server in order to reauthenticate a client that previously was authenticated. In addition to CCKM-based re-authentication being fast, it also provides a survivability benefit in that it works even when the network link between the APs and the centralized authentication server is down. This feature provides CCKM support with all the relevant authentication types available, such as LEAP, EAP-FAST, EAP-PEAP-GTC, EAP-PEAP-MSCHAP, and EAP-TLS. See also AP-assisted Roaming.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.
-Darren

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
