Viewing specific client information using the CLI
show ip mobile trace <ip-address>|<mac-address>
Mobile Client Roaming Locations
You can view information about where a mobile user has been in the mobility domain. This information can only
be viewed on the client’s home agent.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Monitoring > controller > Clients page.
2. Click Status. The mobility state section contains information about the user locations.
In the CLI
show ip mobile trail <ip-address>|<mac-address>
HA Discovery on Association
In normal circumstances a controller performs an HA discovery only when it is aware of the client’s IP address
which it learns through the ARP or any L3 packet from the client. This limitation of learning the client’s IP and
then performing the HA discovery is not effective when the client performs an inter switch move silently (does
not send any data packet when in power save mode). This behavior is commonly seen with various handheld
devices, Wi-Fi phones, etc. This delays HA discovery and eventually resulting in loss of downstream traffic if any
meant for the mobile client.
With HA discovery on association, a controller can perform a HA discovery as soon as the client is associated.
This feature can be enabled using the ha-disc-onassoc parameter in the wlan virtual <ap-
profile> command. By default, this feature is disabled. You can enable this on virtual APs with devices in
power-save mode and requiring mobility. This option will also poll for all potential HAs.
Setting up Mobility Association Using CLI
wlan virtual-ap default ha-disc-onassoc
Advanced Mobility Functions
