166 Configuring and managing Mobility Domain roaming
When users access a WSS in a Mobility Domain, they become members of the VLAN designated through their autho-
rized identity. If a user's native VLAN is not present on the WSS that he or she accesses, the accessed WSS forms a
tunnel to a WSS in the Mobility Domain that includes the native VLAN.
In a Mobility Domain, one WSS acts as a seed device, which distributes information to the WSSs defined in the Mobility
Domain. Otherwise, the seed WSS operates like any other Mobility Domain member.

Configuring a Mobility Domain

The WSSs in a Mobility Domain use their system IP address for Mobility Domain communication. To support the
services of the Mobility Domain, the system IP address of every WSS requires basic IP connectivity to the system IP
address of every other WSS. (For information about setting the system IP address for the WSS, see
system IP address" (page
To create a Mobility Domain:
1
Designate a seed WSS. (See
2
Create a list of the member WSSs. (See
3
Configure each member WSS to point to the seed. (See
You can view the status and configuration of a Mobility Domain, clear members, and clear all Mobility Domain config-
uration from a WSS.

Configuring the seed

You must explicitly configure only one WSS per domain as the seed. All other WSSs in the domain receive their
Mobility Domain information from the seed.
Use the following command to set the current WSS as the seed device and name the Mobility Domain:
set mobility-domain mode seed domain-name mob-domain-name
For example, the following command sets the current WSS as the seed and names the Mobility Domain Pleasanton:
WSS# set mobility-domain mode seed domain-name Santa Clara
success: change accepted.
The Mobility Domain name is assigned to the seed WSS only. The WSS system IP address is used as the source IP
address for all Mobility Domain communications. If the system IP address is not set, WSS Software issues a warning
when you enter the set mobility-domain mode seed domain-name command, to inform you that the Mobility Domain is
not operational until the system IP is set.

Configuring member WSSs on the seed

To configure the list of members on the Mobility Domain seed for distribution to other member WSSs, use the following
command on the seed WSS:
set mobility-domain member ip-addr
