Turning Group Mobility On or Off
The gmstat command turns group mobility on or off for a Group that you specify. Essentially,
you can change a non-mobile group into a mobile group and a mobile group back into a
non-mobile group through gmstat. The group you specify must previously have been created
through the crgp command.
Use the following syntax for the gmstat command:
gmstat <group number>
For example, if you wanted to change the group mobility status of group 2, you would enter:
gmstat 2
Mobile Group to Non-Mobile Group
If this group is already a mobile group, the following would display:
Group Mobility is ON for Group 2
Change Group Mobility Status for Group 2 to OFF ? [y/n] (y):
If you wanted to change this mobile group back to a non-mobile group, you would press
<enter> and the group would lose its mobile status. All AutoTracker policies you set up for
the Group would no longer be valid.
If you decided not to turn off group mobility, enter n and the following prompt displays:
Group Mobility Status unchanged
Non-Mobile Group to Mobile Group
If this group is currently a non-mobile group, the following would display:
Group Mobility is OFF for Group 8
Change Group Mobility Status for Group 8 to ON ? [y/n] (y):
If you wanted to turn on Group Mobility, you would press <enter> and would then be asked
if you want to configure AutoTracker policies. If you answer yes, then the AutoTracker poli-
cies menu would display as follows:
Select rule type:
1. Port Rule
2. MAC Address Rule
21) MAC Address Range Rule
3. Protocol Rule
4. Network Address Rule
5. User Defined Rule
6. Binding Rule
7. DHCP PORT Rule
8. DHCP MAC Rule
81) DHCP MAC Range Rule
Enter rule type (1):
You define policies for a mobile Group. Non-mobile groups do not require policies.
However, mobile Groups use policies to define membership. Instructions for specifying
AutoTracker policies may be found in Chapter 22.
♦ Note ♦
As of the current release, the MAC Address Range Rule
and DHCP MAC Range are not supported for
AutoTracker VLANs
