Mobility Anchor , extened anchor

[Craig Le-Butt]

I have a query.

If there are 3 companies all using cisco wlc and 2 of the companies have a mobility anchor between them.(Company A and B), is it possible to for Company C to connect to companie A wireless lan via the mobility anchor on Company B?  Kind of extending the anchor?

Cheers in advance.

Mobility group name is just for roaming purposes. You can still anchor to another WLC WLAN if you want. It's like having a guest anchor WLC. The guest anchors should have a different mobility group name than the foreign WLC's.

thanks for that,

So A and B can ping each other, no routing between A and C but if use a guest anchor we can connect to the WLAN from Company A via Company B.

Yes you can. That's what it was designed for. You just need to make sure certain ports are open for this to work.
