118 CHAPTER 5: VLAN COMMANDS

set vlan tunnel-affinity

Changes a wireless LAN switch’s preferability within a mobility domain

for tunneling user traffic for a VLAN. When a user roams to a WX switch

that is not a member of the user’s VLAN, the WX can forward the user

traffic by tunneling to another WX switch that is a member of the VLAN.

Syntax — set vlan vlan-id tunnel-affinity num

vlan-id — VLAN name or number.

num — Preference of this switch for forwarding user traffic for the

VLAN. You can specify a value from 1 through 10. A higher number

indicates a greater preference.

Defaults — Each VLAN on a WX switch’s network ports has an affinity

value of 5 by default.

Access — Enabled.

History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.

Usage — Increasing a WX switch’s affinity value increases the WX’s

preferability for forwarding user traffic for the VLAN.

If more than one WX switch has the highest affinity value, MSS randomly

selects one of the WX switches for the tunnel.

Examples — The following command changes the VLAN affinity for

VLAN beige to 10:

WX4400# set vlan beige tunnel-affinity 10

success: change accepted.
