Unleashed 200.16.7 and "Enable 802.11r FT Roaming"

Hello All,

I can see "Enable 802.11r FT Roaming" on Unleashed 200.14 but not on 200.16. Was this feature removed?

Thank you.

Hi,

I a AP running on 200.16 and I can still see the 802.11r FT Roaming in SSID settings.

Please ensure Encryptions Method is not set to None in the SSID settings.

Thank you so much. This worked. I just don't understand why fast roaming only works when encryption is enabled.

Because fast roaming is sharing the secure keys that are agreed upon by the client and access point to all the APs on the network. If you have no encryption, there are no keys to share.
