# Cisco Compatible Extensions Options

Cisco Options: Use to enable or disable Radio Management and Mixed Cells Mode or Allow Fast Roaming (CCKM).

NOTE: Cisco Compatible Extensions are automatically enabled for CKIP, LEAP or EAP-FAST profiles. To override this behavior, select or clear options on this page.

- Allow Fast Roaming (CCKM): Select to enable the client WiFi adapter for fast-secure roaming. When a wireless LAN is configured for fast reconnection, an EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, PEAP-GTC, PEAP-MS-CHAP-V2 or LEAP-enabled client device can roam from one access point to another without involving the main server. Use Cisco Centralized Key Management (CCKM), an access point configured to provide Wireless Domain Services (WDS), to take the place of the RADIUS server and authenticate the client without perceptible delay in voice or other time-sensitive applications.

Enable Cisco Compatible Extensions: Select to enable Cisco Compatible Extensions for this WiFi connection profile.

- Enable Radio Management Support: Select to have your WiFi adapter provide radio management to the Cisco infrastructure. If the Cisco Radio Management utility is used on the infrastructure, it configures radio parameters, detects interference and rogue access points. The default setting is off.
- Enable Mixed Cells Mode: Select to allow the WiFi adapter to communicate with mixed cells. A mixed cell is a WiFi network in which there are both devices that use WEP and devices that do not. See Mixed Cells Mode for more information. The default setting is cleared.
