In a WLAN network, for sticky terminals, which have poor roaming initiative, the roaming problem can be solved by configuring the smart roaming function in which of the following templates?

Question

Options

• ARRM template
• BSSID template
• CVAP template
• DCertification Template

• A
  11% (5)
• B
  80% (35)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  7% (3)

Explanation

Smart roaming is configured in the SSID template because it is a per-SSID client behavior policy - it defines rules that govern how clients associated with a given SSID are handled when they become "sticky" (clinging to a weak AP signal instead of roaming to a stronger one). When enabled here, the AC (Access Controller) can forcibly disconnect underperforming clients, nudging them to re-associate with a better AP.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (RRM template): Radio Resource Management handles radio-layer optimization like channel selection and transmit power control - it manages the AP's radio environment, not individual client roaming behavior.
• C (VAP template): The VAP (Virtual Access Point) template configures virtual interface parameters for APs, but smart roaming policy is not applied at this level.
• D (Certification/Authentication template): This template manages security and authentication methods (e.g., WPA2, 802.1X) and has no role in roaming decisions.

Memory tip: Think "SSID = Service policy for clients." Since smart roaming is a service behavior applied to clients on a specific wireless network, it lives in the template that defines that network - the SSID template. If it affects what the radio does, it's RRM; if it affects what the client does on a network, it's SSID.
