Description

This command configures Layer-3 mobility on an IAP.

Syntax

Parameter

Description

Range

Default

l3-mobility Enables Layer-3 mobility configuration sub-mode.
home-agent-load-balancing

Enables home agent load balancing.

When enabled, the Virtual Controller assigns the home AP for roamed clients by using a round robin policy. With this policy, the load for the APs acting as Home Agents for roamed clients is uniformly distributed across the IAP cluster.

Disabled
virtual-controller <IP-address>

Adds the IP address of a Virtual Controller to the mobility domain.

In the typical deployment scenario, all the APs are configured in one subnet and all the clients in another subnet.

You can also deploy APs across different subnets, in which case the APs in each subnet will form a cluster with its own Virtual Controller IP address. To allow clients to roam seamlessly among all the APs, the Virtual Controller IP for each of the foreign subnets must be configured for each IAP cluster.

<IP-address> Configures the IP address for the subnets support in an IAP cluster.
subnet <subnet-mask> Specifies the subnet mask.
<vlan> Assigns the VLAN applicable to the IAP cluster. 1-4093
<virtual-controller IP> Specifies the IP address of the Virtual Controller in an IAP cluster.
no… Removes the configuration.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure layer-3 mobility domains on an IAP.

Example

The following example configures L3-mobility:

(Instant AP)(config)# l3-mobility

(Instant AP)(L3-mobility)# home-agent-load-balancing

(Instant AP)(L3-mobility)# virtual-controller 192.0.2.1

(Instant AP)(L3-mobility)# subnet 192.0.2.2 255.255.255.0 1 192.0.2.1

(Instant AP)(L3-mobility)# end

(Instant AP)# commit apply
