Viewing and Configuring VLANs 207

Roaming and VLANs

WX switches in a Mobility Domain contain a user’s traffic within the VLAN the user is assigned to. For example, if you assign a user to VLAN red, the WX switches in the Mobility Domain contain the user’s traffic within VLAN red configured on the switches.

The WX switch through which a user is authenticated must be a member of the Mobility Domain the user is assigned to. However, you are not required to configure the VLAN on all WX switches in the Mobility Domain. When a user roams to a switch that is not a member of the VLAN the user is assigned to, the switch can tunnel traffic for the user through another switch that is a member of the VLAN. (For more information about Mobility Domains, see “Defining a Mobility Domain” on page 60.)

Because the default VLAN might not be in the same subnet on each switch, 3Com recommends that you do not rename the default VLAN or use it for user traffic. Instead, configure other VLANs for user traffic.
