Hotspot 2.0, developed based on 802.11u, implements automatic network discovery, automatic

authentication, and seamless roaming for wireless clients.
The AC supports the following functions in Hotspot 2.0:

Automatic network discovery—The AC and clients exchange Hotspot 2.0 capabilities by using
active or passive scanning. If both of them support Hotspot 2.0, the clients can get external network

information by exchanging Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) frames with the AC before being

associated with an AP.

Security—When the Downstream Group-Addressed Forwarding (DGAF) function is enabled for an

AP, the AP forwards all downstream wireless broadcast ARP packets and wireless multicast packets.
To prevent spoofing attacks by using downstream multicasts, you can disable the DGAF function for

the AP.

Network management—Controls frame transmission between clients and the AC.
