156CHAPTER 8: CONFIGURING AND MANAGING MOBILITY DOMAIN ROAMING

Configuring Mobility You can optionally specify a secondary seed in a Mobility Domain. The Domain Seed secondary seed provides redundancy for the primary seed switch in the Redundancy Mobility Domain. If the primary seed becomes unavailable, the secondary

seed assumes the role of the seed switch. This allows the Mobility Domain to continue functioning if the primary seed becomes unavailable.

Specifying a secondary seed for a Mobility Domain is useful since it eliminates the single point of failure that can occur if connectivity to the seed switch is lost.

When the primary seed switch fails, the remaining members form a Mobility Domain, with the secondary seed taking over as the primary seed switch.

„If countermeasures had been in effect on the primary seed, they are stopped while the secondary seed gathers RF data from the member switches. Once the secondary seed has rebuilt the RF database, countermeasures can be restored.

„VLAN tunnels (other than those between the member switches and the primary seed) continue to operate normally.

„Roaming and session statistics continue to be gathered, providing that the primary seed is uninvolved with roaming.

When the primary seed is restored, it resumes its role as the primary seed switch in the Mobility Domain. The secondary seed returns to its role as a regular member of the Mobility Domain.

Use the following commands to configure a Mobility Domain consisting of a primary seed, secondary seed, and one or more member switches:

On the primary seed:

set mobility-domain mode seed domain-name mob-domain-nameset mobility-domain member ip-addr(for each member switch)

On the secondary seed:

set mobility-domain mode secondary-seed domain-namemob-domain-nameseed-ip primary-seed-ip-addr

set mobility-domain member ip-addr(for each member switch)

On the other member switches in the Mobility Domain:

set mobility-domain mode member seed-ip primary-seed-ip-addrset mobility-domain mode member secondary-seed-ip secondary-seed-ip-addr
