Rotation

Select the

checkbox to enable or disable

the broadcasting of encryption-key changes to MUs. Only
broadcast key changes when required by associated MUs to reduce
the transmissions of sensitive key information. This value is
disabled by default.

Update broadcast
keys every (300-
604800 seconds)

Specify a time period in seconds for broadcasting encryption-key
changes to MUs. Set key broadcasts to a shorter time interval (at
least 30 seconds) for tighter security on the WLAN's wireless
connections. Set key broadcasts to a longer time interval (at most,
80000 seconds) to extend the key times for wireless connections.
Default is 86,400 seconds.
