Network domain

Branch Office 1

In a Network Domain, one or more WSSs acts as a seed device. A Network Domain seed stores information about all of

the VLANs on the Network Domain members. The Network Domain seeds share this information among themselves, so

that every seed has an identical database. In the example above, one WSS at each site is a Network Domain seed.

Each Network Domain member maintains a TCP connection to one of the seeds. When a Network Domain member

needs information about a VLAN in a remote Mobility Domain, it consults the Network Domain seed to which it is

connected. If the seed has information about the remote VLAN, it responds with the IP address of a WSS where the

VLAN exists. A VLAN tunnel is then created between the WSS and the remote WSS.

illustrates how user Bob, who is based at Sales Office C gets connectivity and is placed in a VLAN when he

visits the Corporate Office.
