where the mobility state is “anchor,” and the access point name is the switch/wireless management IP address of
the foreign switch (MC1): 20.1.3.2. (See Figure 25.)
Figure 25. Client Roams Across SPG in Converged Access
In the preceding scenario the endpoints roam from the mobility controller to another mobility agent in SPG2. The
thing to note here is that this is an L3 roam, since the client wireless VLAN 500 is not spanned across to this
mobility agent. The client retains the IP address it received at initial client join at MA1. Its traffic is back-hauled from
the new mobility agent (MA3), to its mobility controller (MC1), to the anchor mobility agent switch (MA1), where it is
forwarded into the wired portion of the network as an Ethernet frame.
Starting off with the relevant outputs on the switch to which the clients roamed:
