Mobility anchors are used to restrict a WLAN to a single subnet, irrespective of the client’s entry point

into the network. It can also be used to provide geographic load balancing, since WLANs can be used to

represent a particular section of the building like engineering, marketing and so on.

To create a new mobility anchor for a WLAN, perform these steps:

Step 1 Use WLANs > Mobility Anchors to navigate to the mobility anchor page.

Step 2 Select a controller IP address from the list of controllers.

Step 3 Click Mobility Anchor Create button.

The selected controller now becomes an anchor for the WLAN.

Note A Cisco 2000 Series Wireless LAN Controller cannot be designated as an anchor for a WLAN. However,

a WLAN created on a Cisco 2000 Series Wireless LAN Controller can have a Cisco 4100 Series Wireless

LAN Controller and Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controller as its anchor.

To remove a mobility anchor for a WLAN, perform these steps:

Step 1 Click on Mobility Anchors link for a WLAN.

Step 2 Under the controller IP address, click Remove to delete the mobility anchor.
