According to Cisco's "Best Practices" site, they do recommend enabling
802.11r, with the following very important caveat:
*Note*<http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/i/templates/blank.gif>Non
802.11r clients will *not *be able to connect to this WLAN. Ensure that
the clients are 802.11r capable, for example, Apple devices on version 6
and above.

I know Cisco has added 802.11r so devices can optional use 802.11r if
supported starting with version 8.0.
I have been looking forward to using version 8.0, but the number of
caveats has kept us away.
With version 7.6 802.11r is an all or nothing feature requiring you to
create an extra SSID, which we have not done and will not do.
I am also curious about the experience of others.

To ALL:
I was just wondering if anyone has taken the plunge and enabled
802.11r on their WLAN and if they had any fall out? I know some
vendors recommend putting up a second ssid but no one wants to
maintain two SSID's. I has been a couple years so maybe the client
turnover has solved the issue? I had the same question about 802.11d
and 802.11h. I am running an Aruba environment but would be
interested in the Cisco side of the house also.
