Hello, I'm using FreeRADIUS with Coova Chilli in proxy mode with IEEE 802.1Xauthentication (PEAP auth. method to be more specific). In my network there are 6 Access Point that use TKIP as security protocol. Now I need that the Supplicants can do "roaming" between the Access Points. The IEEE 802.1X asserts that can be used two mechanisms to obtain roaming : - PMK Caching - Pre Authentication I would to know how I could implement this mechanisms in my system. Are requested special configuration of FreeRADIUS or to implement roaming I must only configure the Access Point (If so, how I can do this)? Note that Access Point are all on the same subnet. Thanks for all Josh

No. Both systems rely on the supplicant to do almost all the work. The RADIUS server isn't involved. See also http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg0505.mspx for a reasonable introduction to the topic.
