mobility-Anchor

[Anjana A]

Please clarify:

I have multiple access points (BLR) location and two wlc's in Singapore wlc.

One is the foreign wlc and the other is the Anchor wlc for the guest ssid.

The access points  registered with the wlc-01 in singapore over internet(throught DMVPN tunnel)

The BLR location have 2 ssid, one ssid is flexconnect and the other one  ssid are guest ssid.

IN the Singapore-wlc02 (anchor WLC)the guest ssid is configured and we have the internal DHCP /DNS server configured on the wlc.

Please confirm whether the guest users connected to singapore wlc will be accessing the singapore internet and there is no dependency on the BLR internet?

Regards,

Anjana.

From the view of the client, it would be as if it was plugged into the same switchport as the anchor WLC. The mac address will show up in the mac table coming from the port the anchor WLC is connected to. From the view of the network, the client traffic would be sent from the AP to the foreign WLC in a CAPWAP tunnel. Then, the foreign WLC will send it to the anchor WLC in an EoIP tunnel(old mobility). That said, client traffic is still dependant on the whole network but the client's point of presence is seen where the anchor is. All client traffic, including DHCP and DNS, will leave from the anchor controller.
