An administrator troubleshoots a roaming problem where a user loses connectivity to the network during the roaming process. To help troubleshooting this problem, which device or devices in a wireless network initiates the roaming process?
A. Both the client and the controller
B. The AP
C. The Client
D. The Controller
“Remember, the decision of whether and when to roam is made solely by the client device.”
Correct C
But the client will be the one to decide if it has to roam or not. The controller then provides additional functionalities to help the client roam like client match.
Because one of the main purpose of having client match is to help sticky clients. Clients which are no good at roaminh
Strange question.
In traditional WLAN – the client (C).
Aruba provides Client Match where controller can initiate (D).
But in fact we don’t prohibit client to do so, maybe (A) then.
But how do we understand (A) – do both have to agree? or either can initiate?
Certainly not B.
I bet A.
I think you are right. Traditionally it’s just the client. But with current Aruba architecture both can do it.
Correct C, no enable client match
In summary, the decision to roam is not on the client anymore, the controller will take the decision if it should roam to a better AP or not
