wnc: Controller Commands
Roaming Using Shared Virtual MAC Address
To enable the Meru wireless network to easily handle roaming mobile stations, all
access points managed by a single controller use the same virtual MAC address.
Therefore, all access points look like essentially the same access point, so that a
mobile station’s transfer from one access point to the next is quick and seamless.

virtualip This value, when masked by the virtual netmask, specifies the virtual IP
subnet for mobile clients. You must reboot the controller for this to take
effect.
virtualnetmask This value is used to mask the virtual IP subnet address to specify the
virtual IP subnet for mobile clients.You must reboot the controller for this
to take effect.
dhcp IP address of the DHCP server.You must reboot the controller for this to
take effect.
virtualmac The one virtual MAC address for all access points (ATSs) managed by
this controller.You must reboot the controller for this to take effect. The
default is For more information, see “Roaming Using Shared Virtual
MAC Address” on page 65. Because all controllers use the same default
value, if you have more than one Meru wireless network with overlapping
ranges and you do not want mobile stations to roam transparently
between the networks, you can prevent it by changing this value for one
of the controllers.
essid The Extended Service Set ID for the network You must reboot the con-
troller for this to take effect.
atsscript Default access point initialzation script. See ats scripts for more
information.
polling Statistics polling period, in seconds (0 = no polling). How often the con-
troller updates information about the number of packets passed or
dropped and so on.
audit Audit polling period, in seconds (0 = no audit). How often the controller
updates information about
