Figure 170: Layer-3 Mobility - Mobility Agents and Sub-Agents

The wired network AP that is selected as an MA must be attached to one of the following:

• Ethernet switch that supports jumbo frames (>1518 bytes). The switches must pass through

tagged VLAN packets.

• VLAN enabled Ethernet switch that supports switching of VLAN tagged frames. Such VLAN

switches do require configuration to support Layer-3 Mobility.

The following restrictions apply to Layer-3 Mobility using tunneling:

• Redundancy: There can be only one AP per subnet designated as the MA. If the designated MA

is not operational, it is necessary to manually configure another MA.

• Maximum number of IP subnets: Layer-3 mobility can be configured with a maximum of 16

subnets.

• Management: All APs involved in a Layer-3 mobility configuration must be managed by the

same network management solution (NM Portal or NMS Pro).

• SSID: All the APs in a Layer-3 mobility configuration must be configured with the same SSID.
