2500 series support mobility groups?

[srgaskill1]

Do you know if the new 2500 series controller supports things like mobility groups?  Could I use 2 of these and do inter-controller roaming.

Also do you know if this would work with a 2106 controller and a 2505 controller or are they 2 completely independent controllers only knowing about their own APs??

To answer your questions more specifically -- yes, the 2500 WLC supports mobility groups, and you can have mobility groups combined with the various controller platforms (2100,2500,4400,5500).

Is mobility and roaming the same?

What if I have one 2500 WLC and 25 APs. Will roaming work or do I need WCS for that?

[paulheilmeier]

Hi smailmilak,

no mobility and roaming is not the same. You need for roaming between controllers a mobility configuration.

If you have only one 2500 WLC and 25 or more or less AP roaming between the AP on the one WLC will work well.

This calls Intra-Controller roaming

If you have 2 or more WLCs you need a proper mobility config for roaming between APs located on differen WLC.

This Calls Inter-Controller roaming.

Thank you for fast reply.

I will check the guide.

One more question please. Wireless Control System is not needed for roaming and Voice over WLAN?

WCS is for multiple WLC and some advanced features?

[paulheilmeier]

No, WCS is only a management software. It doesn't have any impact for roaming or else. Only for configuration.

Meantime it is replaced by NCS Prime.

You are welcome ;-)
