Primary/Backup Manager Mobility Tunnel Matrix

This report displays a cross-connection view of the state of inter-controller tunnels, as well as relative loading for user distribution across the mobility domain.

The following report illustrates a mobility setup with three controllers:
  • Mobility Manager (M) (10.105.0.5)
  • Mobility Agent/Backup Manager (BM) 10.105.0.9
  • Mobility Agent (10.105.0.7)
In the following illustration, there is one client on the Primary Manager (M) and 0 clients on the other controllers. As the client moves through the Mobility group, the number of clients will change from 0 to 1 depending on which tunnel the client moves through. This report graphically displays the number of data tunnels, number of active mobility clients, and the number of clients on each controller.

Downed tunnels are represented in brown. No tunnels: 0 indicates that all tunnels are up.

This report provides the following information:
  • Provides connectivity matrix of mobility state.
  • Provides a view of:
    • Tunnel state
    • If a tunnel between controllers is reported down, it is highlighted in red.
    • If only a control tunnel is present, it is highlighted in yellow.
    • If data and control tunnels are fully established, it is highlighted in green.
    • Tunnel Uptime
    • Number of clients roamed (Mobility loading)
    • Local controller loading
    • Mobility membership list

A controller is only removed from the mobility matrix if an administrator explicitly removes it from the by Mobility permission list. If there is a link between controllers, or the controller is down, the corresponding matrix connections are identified in red to identify the link.

The Active Clients by VNS report for the controller on which the user is home (home controller) will display the known user characteristics (IP, statistics, etc.). On the foreign controller, the Clients by VNS report does not show users that have roamed from other controllers, since the users remain associated with the home controller's VNS.

The Active Clients by AP report on each controller will show both the loading of local and foreign users (users roamed from other controllers) that are taking resources on the AP.
