5.5.3 Reviewing Layer 3 Peer List Statistics

When a MU roams to a current switch on the same layer 3 network, it sends a L2-ROAM message to the home
switch to indicate the MU has roamed within the same VLAN. The old home switch forwards the information
to all its peers. The MU is basically re-synchronized to the new current switch, but keeps its old IP address.
The same procedure is followed, even if the new current switch is on a different layer 3 subnet, but uses the
same VLAN ID (overlapping VLAN scenario).
Tracking these message counts is important to gauge the behavior within the mobility domain.The Layer 3
Mobility screen contains a tab dedicated to tracking the message sent between the current switch, home
switch and MU.
