Hi Folks,
A list of all the wireless clients on my WCS shows among other details the protocol in use. I have a mix of 802.11g, 802.11a, some 802.11n clients and another called "Mobile", does anyone know what the Mobile protocol refers to?
Thanks in advance,
S.

Mobile clients are clients that are anchored to another WLC. Typically you will see this in a foreign to anchor WLC setup when the anchor is in the DMZ. However, depending on how you setup your wireless, it might also be layer 3 roaming that has to anchor back to the WLC the user was initially on.

Hi Shane,
1) Do you have multiple WLCs and does the client do L3 roaming ?
2) How do you see the same client on the WLC
show client summary
show client detail advanced

Shane,
Out of curiosity.... were you seeing this on a guest anchor?
Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
How can I tell which is the anchor controller, I have a mobility group but don't predefine which controller is the anchor?
Regarding my original question, a little more information that I should have spotted originally. With the clients that are listed as using "Mobile" protocol, they also exist in the list of clients as using 802.11/a/g/n as their protocol which would indicate that they have indeed roamed to a new controller.
Thanks again, S.

Scott, please see below; there is no entries under Mobility Anchor List, perhaps because Auto Anchor is disabled. This raises another question for me. Without auto anchor and without statically defining mobility anchors (I can't see where these would be configured) what will happen in the event of a controller failure?

How about your show mobility summary... if you have multiple WLC's and no guest anchor, then maybe the users is roaming to the other WLC. What WLC and code?
Thanks,
Scott
