HPE6-A71 Exam - Question 22


An administrator troubleshoots a roaming problem where a user loses connectivity to the network during the roaming process. To help troubleshoot this problem, which device or devices in a wireless network initiates the roaming process?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

In a wireless network, the client device is responsible for initiating the roaming process. When a device moves out of the range of one access point (AP) and into the range of another, it is the client device that decides when to scan for and connect to a different AP. This decision is typically based on signal strength and quality metrics. Therefore, the correct answer is that the client initiates the roaming process.
