Viewing Distributed Tunneling Information

The AP-AP tunneling mode is used to support L3 roaming for wireless clients without forwarding any data
traffic to the wireless switch.
In the AP-AP tunneling mode, when a client first associates with an AP in the wireless system, the AP forwards
the wireless client's data using VLAN forwarding mode. The AP the client initially associates with is called the
Home AP. The AP the client roams to is called the Association AP.
Use the menu above the table to select the AP with the distributed tunneling information to view. The AP is
identified by its MAC address and location.
Table 278 describes the fields you see on the Managed Access Point Distributed Tunneling Status page for the
managed access point status.
