Configuring Auto-Anchor Mobility
WLAN and creates a foreign session for the client on the local switch. Packets from the client are
encapsulated through a mobility tunnel using EtherIP and sent to the anchor controller, where they are
decapsulated and delivered to the wired network. Packets to the client are received by the anchor
controller and forwarded to the foreign controller through a mobility tunnel using EtherIP. The foreign
controller decapsulates the packets and forwards them to the client.
A 2000 series controller cannot be designated as an anchor for a WLAN. However, a WLAN created on

a 2000 series controller can have a 4100 series controller or a 4400 series controller as its anchor.

Controllers must be added to the mobility group member list before you can designate them as
mobility anchors for a WLAN.
You can configure multiple controllers as mobility anchors for a WLAN.
You must disable the WLAN before configuring mobility anchors for it.
Auto-anchor mobility supports web authorization but does not support other Layer 3 security types.
The WLANs on both the foreign controller and the anchor controller must be configured with
mobility anchors. On the anchor controller, configure the anchor controller itself as a mobility
anchor. On the foreign controller, configure the anchor as a mobility anchor.
