Using the CLI to Configure Mobility Groups

Follow these steps to configure mobility groups using the CLI.
Enter show mobility summary to check the current mobility settings.
Step 1
Enter config mobility group name group_name to create a mobility group.
Step 2
Note
Enter config mobility group member add mac-address ip-addr to add a group member.
Step 3
Note
Enter show mobility summary to verify the mobility configuration.
Step 4
Enter save config to save your settings.
Step 5
Repeat this procedure on every controller to be included in the mobility group. All controllers in the
Step 6
mobility group must be configured with the MAC address and IP address of all other mobility group
members.

Configuring Auto-Anchor Mobility

You can use auto-anchor mobility (or guest WLAN mobility) to improve load balancing and security for
roaming clients on your wireless LANs. Under normal roaming conditions, client devices join a wireless
LAN and are anchored to the first controller that they contact. If a client roams to a different subnet, the
controller to which the client roamed sets up a foreign session for the client with the anchor controller.
However, using the auto-anchor mobility feature, you can specify a controller or set of controllers as the
anchor points for clients on a wireless LAN.
In auto-anchor mobility mode, a subset of a mobility group is specified as the anchor controllers for a
WLAN. You can use this feature to restrict a WLAN to a single subnet, regardless of a client's entry
point into the network. Clients can then access a guest WLAN throughout an enterprise but still be
restricted to a specific subnet. Auto-anchor mobility can also provide geographic load balancing because
the WLANs can represent a particular section of a building (such as a lobby, a restaurant, and so on),
effectively creating a set of home controllers for a WLAN. Instead of being anchored to the first
controller that they happen to contact, mobile clients can be anchored to controllers that control access
points in a particular vicinity.
