What is the auto-anchor mobility feature in Unified Wireless Networks?
A. Auto-anchor mobility (or guest WLAN mobility) is used to improve load balancing and security for roaming clients on your wireless LANs (WLANs). Under normal roaming conditions, client devices join a WLAN and are anchored to the first controller that they contact. If a client roams to a different subnet, the controller to which the client roams sets up a foreign session for the client with the anchor controller. With the use of the auto-anchor mobility feature, you can specify a controller or set of controllers as the anchor points for clients on a WLAN. In order to configure the auto-anchor feature, refer to Configuring Auto-Anchor Mobility for more information. Note: Mobility anchor must not be configured for Layer 3 mobility. The mobility anchor is used only for guest tunneling.
