The following requirements must be met in order for wireless stations to roam between the coverage areas.
1.All the access points must be on the same subnet and configured with the same ESSID.
2.If IEEE 802.1x user authentication is enabled and to be done locally on the access point, the new access point must have the user profile for the wireless station.
3.The adjacent access points should use different radio channels when their coverage areas overlap.
4.All access points must use the same port number to relay roaming information.
5.The access points must be connected to the Ethernet and be able to get IP addresses from a DHCP server if using dynamic IP address assignment.
