●
Mobility agent (MA): This is the default mode in which the Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch ships. In this mode
the switch is capable of terminating the CAPWAP tunnels from the access points and providing wireless
connectivity to wireless clients. Maintaining wireless client databases and configuring and enforcing
security and QoS policies for wireless clients and access points can be enforced in this mode. No
additional license on top of IP Base is required to operate in the mobility agent mode.
●
Mobility controller (MC): In this mode, the Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch can perform all the mobility agent
tasks in addition to mobility coordination, radio resource management (RRM), and Cisco CleanAir
®
coordination within a mobility subdomain. The mobility controller mode can be enabled on the switch CLI.
IP Base license level is required when the Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch is acting as the mobility controller.
A centrally located Cisco 5508 Wireless LAN Controller (WLC 5508), Cisco Wireless Services Module 2
(WiSM2) (when running AireOS Version 7.3), and Wireless LAN Controller 5760 can also perform this role
for larger deployments.
With mobility agents located in the wiring closets providing 40 Gbps of wireless per switch (n x 40 Gbps for
a stack of n switches) and mobility controllers managing some of the central wireless functions, the
converged access-based wireless deployment provides best-in-class scalability for wireless and
significantly improved wireless throughput.
