Summit WM, Getting Started Guide
The agent:
•
Uses SLP or a statically configured IP address to locate the manager.
•
Uses the information from every heartbeat message received to update its
own tables and updates the manager with the information on the wireless
device users and data tunnels it is managing.
If a connection to a manager is lost:
•
Agent to agent connections still remain active, allowing seamless roaming to
continue.
•
The data link between the agents remains active after the loss of the
manager. The agents continue to use the last set of mobility location list to
service known users.
•
Existing users – Remain in mobility scenario and if the users are known
to mobility domain, they are able to continue roaming between the agents.
•
New users – Become local at the attaching agent. Roaming to another
agents resets the session.
•
Any user that roamed away from their home Altitude AP is terminated and
must reconnect, re-authenticate and obtain a new IP address.
To configure mobility feature, you must define one Summit WM Switch as the
mobility manager and other Summit WM Switches as mobility agents.
