6.4 Configuring Roaming

A wireless station is a device with an IEEE 802.11b or an IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless

inteface. An access point (AP) acts as a bridge between the wireless and wired networks. An

AP creates its own wireless coverage area. A wireless station can associate with a particular

access point only if it is within the access point’s coverage area.

In a network environment with multiple access points, wireless stations are able to switch from

one access point to another as they move between the coverage areas. This is roaming. As the

wireless station moves from place to place, it is responsible for choosing the most appropriate

access point depending on the signal strength, network utilization or other factors.
