Identify WiFi clients connected using Protected Management Frames PMF

Model: EAP615-Wall

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.5.0

I have an Omada network with 3 EAP615-wall face plate access points and 1 EAP655-wall.

I have created and configured an SSID with the PMF mode set to "Capable", and I would like to be able to see which clients have connected with PMF, and so find out which clients do not support PMF.

This would be easy with a column in the "Clients" list, or perhaps as an item in each client details, but I don't see PMF mentioned in either of those places.

Is there a command line that I can run on the APs to list which clients are using Protected Management Frames or another way to capture this info?

Hi @RockPaper

WPA3 mandates PMF, so clients connected via WPA3 must use PMF.

For WPA2, PMF is optional (if set to "Capable" in your SSID configuration). Clients may or may not use PMF depending on their support.

We can't identify this for now. You may check it from the clients spec of datasheet or other kinds of documents.
