Two AP vendors in a merged city network each offer proprietary OKC-like fast-roam helpers that do not interoperate for mixed clients. What should the WLAN technician recommend for roaming assists?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Proprietary OKC cousins from Vendor A and Vendor B often refuse to shake hands. Standards-based assists are the common language in a merged city network. That’s how mixed clients actually roam together.
Full Explanation
Proprietary fast-roam or key-caching extensions frequently fail across vendors. In multi-vendor municipal deployments, standards-based roaming features provide broader interoperability for mixed clients. Technicians should not rely on incompatible proprietary pairs, remove encryption to dodge key management, or mandate a single proprietary client stack contrary to the device inventory.
