Abstract: An example system includes a plurality of AP devices configured to provide a wireless network at a site, the plurality of AP devices including a first AP device configured to determine a set of roaming candidates within the site for client devices connected to the first AP device, wherein the set of roaming candidates includes one or more AP devices of the plurality of AP selected according to a selection criteria; in response to establishing a connection with a client device, cache a key associated with the client device in the memory of the first AP device; generate a packet with the key associated with the client device, and a list of APs that includes one or more identifiers of the one or more AP devices within the set of roaming candidates for the first AP device; and transmit the packet to the plurality of AP devices at the site.

Abstract: Techniques are described that enable onboarding of a plurality of heterogeneous client devices with secure access to a wireless network using a network management system (NMS). The NMS has a memory to store a plurality of private pre-shared keys (PPSKs), where each PPSK is provisioned for a particular client device or a particular group of client devices. In response to a key lookup request from an access point (AP) device for a client device, the NMS performs a key lookup and, in response to identifying a PPSK provisioned for the client device, authenticates the client device to access the wireless network via the AP device. The NMS then manages one or more of tracking the client device, policy application to the client device, or handling of network traffic from the client device while connected to the wireless network using the PPSK as an identifier of the client device.
