General Configuration Procedure
Follow these high-level steps to configure a multiple-BSC Secure Mobility MatriX:
1.
Configure the BSC Secure Mobility feature to enable seamless secure user roaming
across subnets in your network.
•
•
Configure the BSC replication feature to enable the BSCs comprising your network to
2.
share configuration data.
•
•
Optional. Configure the BSC load sharing feature on groups of up to six BSCs within
3.
in your network. All BSCs configured to support the BSC load sharing feature must
first have the BSC replication feature configured.

Secure Mobility
When wireless network users cross a subnet boundary, they are usually forced to get a
new IP address and re-authenticate to the network. This is analogous to re-dialing a cell
phone call every time you connect to a new cell tower. In a truly mobile workplace, this
approach is impractical. Bluesocket's patent-pending Secure Mobility
users of mobile devices to connect securely to any wireless network that uses a BSC,
moving freely between offices, buildings, and floors without the need to re-authenticate as
they roam from subnet to subnet.
Bluesocket's Secure Mobility is unique because it does not require any end-user software
to enable roaming and maintain a secure IPSec tunnel, even when the user crosses subnet
boundaries.
