Name

As a part of client management, the names of the roaming targets for this access point are entered here after an environment scan. This is a part of the standard IEEE 802.11k. This standard describes a way to inform WLAN clients about potential roaming targets, i.e. additional access points of the same SSID that are within range. This information is sent to the WLAN client in the "Neighbor Report" as defined for the standard.

Client management makes these entries automatically. In some cases or in special scenarios, it may be necessary to dispense with automatic client management and to use the sub-feature 802.11k separately. In this case, you enter the device names of the potential roaming targets here, i.e. other access points of the same SSID.

The device name is used so that further required information about the potential roaming target (e.g. the channel number) can be communicated via IAAP. For this reason it is necessary for the participating access points to communicate with one another via IAPP.

Note: Depending on the scenario, it may be desirable for a dual-radio access point to communicate its own, second WLAN module as a potential roaming target. In this case, the device’s own name can also be entered into the table.
