CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 850

Which 802.11 management frame type is sent when a client roams between access points on the same SSID?

Answer options

• A. Reassociation Request
• B. Authentication Request
• C. Association Request
• D. Probe Request

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Reassociation Request, which is specifically used when a client transitions from one access point to another within the same network.
