DETAILED STEPS
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1wireless mobility controller


    Example:
    Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller
     

    Enables the mobility controller functionality on the device. This command is applicable only to the switch. The controller is by default a mobility controller.

     
    Step 2wireless mobility controller peer-group SPG1


    Example:
    Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller peer-group SPG1
     

    Creates a peer group named SPG1.

     
    Step 3wireless mobility controller peer-group SPG1 member ip member-ip-addr public-ip public-ip-addr


    Example:
    Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller peer-group
     SPG1 member ip 10.10.20.2 public-ip 10.10.20.2
     
    Adds a mobility agent to the peer group.
    Note    The 10.10.20.2 is the mobility agent's direct IP address. When NAT is used, use the optional public IP address to enter the mobility agent's NATed address. When NAT is not used, the public IP address is not used and the device displays the mobility agent's direct IP address.
     
    Step 4wireless mobility controller peer-group SPG1 member ip member-ip-addr public-ip public-ip-addr


    Example:
    Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller peer-group 
    SPG1 member ip 10.10.20.6 public-ip 10.10.20.6
     

    Adds another member to the peer group SPG1.

     
    Step 5wireless mobility controller peer-group SPG2


    Example:
    Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller peer-group SPG2
     

    Creates another peer group SPG2.

     
    Step 6wireless mobility controller peer-group SPG2 member ip member-ip-addr public-ip public-ip-addr


    Example:
    Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller peer-group 
    SPG2 member ip 10.10.10.20 public-ip 10.10.10.20
     

    Adds a member to peer group SPG2.

     
    Step 7wireless mobility controller peer-group SPG1 bridge-domain-id id


    Example:
    Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller peer-group 
    SPG1 bridge-domain-id 54
     

    (Optional) Adds a bridge domain to SPG1 used for defining the subnet-VLAN mapping with other SPGs.

     

    This example shows how to create peer group and add members to it:

    Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller 
    Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller peer-group SPG1

                    Configuring Guest Controller

                    A guest controller is used when the client traffic is tunneled to a guest anchor controller in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). The guest client goes through a web authentication process. The web authentication process is optional, and the guest is allowed to pass traffic without authentication too.

                    Enable the WLAN on the mobility agent on which the guest client connects with the mobility anchor address of the guest controller.

                    On the guest controller WLAN, which can be Cisco 5500 Series WLC, Cisco WiSM2, or Cisco 5700 Series WLC, configure the IP address of the mobility anchor as its own IP address. This allows the traffic to be tunneled to the guest controller from the mobility agent.

                    Note


                    With Cisco 5700 Series WLC as the guest anchor controller and Cisco 5500 Series WLC or Cisco WiSM2 as export foreign controller, the guest user role per user is not supported on the Cisco 5700 Series WLC.

                        Configuring Mobility Agent by Pointing to Mobility Controller (CLI)

                        Before You Begin
                        • By default, the switches are configured as mobility agents.
                        • Your network must have at least one mobility controller and the network connectivity with the mobility controller must be operational.
                        • You cannot configure mobility from the mobility agent. On the mobility agent, you can configure only the IP address of the mobility controller to download the SPG configuration.
                        • On the mobility agent, you can either configure the mobility controller address to point to an external mobility agent, or enable the mobility controller function.

                          Switch(config)# wireless management interface vlan 21
                          
                          

                          Configuring Mobility Agent by Pointing to Mobility Controller (GUI)

                          Before You Begin
                          • By default, the switches are configured as mobility agents.
                          • Your network must have at least one mobility controller and the network connectivity with the mobility controller must be operational.
                          • You cannot configure mobility from the mobility agent. On the mobility agent, you can configure only the IP address of the mobility controller to download the SPG configuration.
                          • On the mobility agent, you can either configure the mobility controller address to point to an external mobility agent, or enable the mobility controller function.

                            Step 1   Choose Configuration > Controller > Mobility Management > Mobility Global Config

                            The Mobility Controller Configuration page is displayed.

                            Step 2   From the Mobility Role drop-down list, choose Mobility Agent.
                            Step 3   In the Mobility Controller IP Address, enter the IP address of the mobility controller.
                            Step 4   Click Apply.
                            Step 5   Click Save Configuration.
                            Step 6   Reboot the device.

                              Specifies the mobility controller to which the mobility agent relates.

                              Note    If a mobility agent is configured and the mobility controller exists on a different device, configure the SPG on the mobility controller to ensure the mobility agent functions properly.
                               
                              What to Do Next

                              After you add a mobility controller role to the mobility agent, you can configure optional parameters on the mobility agent.

                              • By default, the load-balancing is enabled and it cannot be disabled.

                              • The switch supports a maximum of 2000 clients and the default threshold value is fifty percent of client max load.

                              • When the switch reaches its threshold, it redistributes the new clients load to other mobility agents in the same SPG, if their client load is lower.

                                Mobility Controller Managing Mobility Agent

                                Overview

                                A mobility controller (MC) can support up to 16 MAs. Most of the wireless and common configurations such as AAA, ACL, and so on are generally the same across all the switches. However, in the earlier Cisco IOS XE releases, these configurations were required to be done explicitly on all the MAs, which constituted the distributed mode. The Mobility Controller managing Mobility Agent feature addresses this issue using which you can push these wireless and common configurations from the MC to the MAs. This helps you to easily configure, monitor, and troubleshoot all the MAs from the MC. This constitutes the centralized mode.

                                An MC can have both centrally managed and non-centrally managed MAs at the same time. A centrally managed MA receives a set of configurations that are configured on the MC. A non-centrally managed MA does not receive any configuration from the MC. While an MA is being centrally managed, it is not possible for you to modify any of the configurations that are pushed from the MC to the MA.

                                The mobility controller (MC) pushes all the relevant configurations over the existing CAPWAP tunnels to all the centrally managed MAs. The MC also pushes any incremental configurations that might get added on the MC to the MAs.


                                Note


                                Before you can use this feature, you must have the day 0 configuration that is required to bring up the CAPWAP tunnel between the MC and the MA.
                                The following sections of the configuration are sent to the MAs:
                                • Common configuration—This is the configuration, which is shared between wired and wireless such as the security configuration namely authentication, authorization, and accounting.

                                • Wireless configuration—All wireless configuration.

                                For a complete list of commands that synchronized between MC and MA, see MC Managing MA - List of Commands Synchronized Between MC and MA at http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​c/​en/​us/​td/​docs/​wireless/​controller/​mc-ma/​mc-ma-sync.html.

                                Cisco IOS XE Release 3.7.0E

                                This feature was introduced on the Catalyst 3850 and Catalyst 3650 Series Switches.

                                Cisco IOS XE Release 3.7.1E

                                Support for this feature was added to Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 8-E.

                                Restrictions

                                • The centralized mode is supported only with the converged access solution platforms and not with the Cisco Wireless AireOS platforms such as Cisco 5500 or 8500 Series Wireless Controllers.

                                • Once the MA is in centralized mode, the globally managed configuration is disabled and the rest of the configuration and monitoring are available on the Web GUI.

                                • This feature is not supported on Cisco Prime Infrastructure.

                                • Out-of-sync Reload: When the MC detects the MA to be out of sync, the MA is forced to reload and then resync the entire configuration from the MC after coming up.

                                • Following are some of the scenarios when the MC and the MA can go out of sync:
                                  • A new MA joins the MC and the MA is centrally managed

                                  • When an MA is moved from one MC to another MC

                                • QoS config is not pushed from the MC to the MA.

                                • The MC pushes all the configurations to all the centrally managed MAs. It is not possible to select a subset of the configurations and then push to a particular group of MAs instead of all the MAs.

                                • L3 roaming cannot be done because WLAN configuration is pushed from the MC.

                                Configuring MC Managing MA (GUI)


                                  Step 1   On the Mobility Controller, choose Configuration > Controller > Mobility Management > Switch Peer Group.
                                  Step 2   Create a new switch peer group member or edit a switch group member.
                                  Step 3   On the Switch Peer Group > New/Switch Peer Group > Modify page, select the Centralized mode check box to set a member MA as centrally managed from the MC.
                                  Step 4   Save the configuration.
                                  Step 5   On the Mobility Agent’s GUI’s home page, you can verify that the status is shown as Centrally Managed.

                                  Example

                                  This example shows how to create a WLAN on an MC and synchronize the WLAN configuration with centrally managed MCs.


                                    Step 1   On the MC, create a WLAN named MCMA_Demo.
                                    Step 2   Click Apply.

                                    WLAN is created but disabled by default.

                                    Step 3   Enable the WLAN–On the WLAN > Edit page, uncheck the Status check box.
                                    Step 4   Change the Interface/Interface Group (G) to VLAN0022.
                                    Step 5   In the Security tab, set the Layer 2 Security to None.
                                    Step 6   Click Apply and then click Save Configuration.

                                    This synchronizes the configuration with the centrally managed MAs.

                                    Step 7   On the MA, navigate to the WLANs page.

                                    The MCMA_Demo WLAN created on the MC and synchronized with the MA is displayed.


                                    Configuring MC Managing MA (CLI)


                                      Step 1   On the MC:
                                      1. Configure the wireless management interface by entering this command:
                                        Switch(config)# wireless management interface vlan vlan-id
                                      2. Configure a switch peer group (SPG) by entering this command:
                                        Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller peer-group spg-name
                                      3. Add an MA to the SPG and configure it to be centrally managed by entering this command: (Use only centralized option)
                                        Switch# wireless mobility controller peer-group spg-name member ip ip-addr mode centralized
                                      Step 2   On the MA:
                                      1. Specify the IP address of the MC by entering this command:
                                        Switch(config)# wireless mobility controller ip mc-ip-addr
                                      2. Configure the wireless management interface by entering this command:
                                        Switch(config)# wireless management interface vlan vlan-id
                                      Step 3   Centralized monitoring:
                                      1. From the MC, you can see the status of MA by entering this command:
                                        Switch# show wireless mobility summary

                                        The above example output shows that the MA is operational and has received the configuration from the MC.

                                      3. To see the configurations that were executed on the MC and buffered in the CMM agent because they are interesting and need to be synced, enter this command:
                                        Switch# show cmm config
                                        
                                        Current version number: 17
                                        To sync and save configuration to Mobility Agents execute: "wr memory" 
                                        
                                        Config commands present in the buffer:

                                      This example shows how to create a WLAN on an MC and synchronize the WLAN configuration with centrally managed MCs.


                                        Step 1   On the MC, create a WLAN named MCMA_Demo by entering this command:
                                        Switch(config)# wlan MCMA_Demo 1 MCMA_Demo
                                        Switch(config-wlan)# exit
                                        Switch(config)# exit
                                        
                                        
                                        Step 2   Enter this command to check the configuration:
                                        Switch# sh cmm config
                                        
                                        Current version number: 3
                                        To sync and save configuration to Mobility Agents execute: "wr memory"
                                        
                                        Config commands present in the buffer:
                                        wlan MCMA_Demo 1 MCMA_Demo
                                        exit
                                        
                                        Step 3   Enter this command to check the number of MAs that are configured to be centrally managed:
                                        Switch# sh cmm member-table
