MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

A number of configuration settings on the controller can affect how user traffic is routed. Some of
these settings may override the choices you make to assign user traffic to a home network. See
“Traffic flow for wireless users” (page 221).
NOTE: At least one controller must be assigned to each home network defined in the mobility
domain. See “Local networks” (page 289).
Defining local networks on a controller
Local networks on a controller are composed of the following interfaces:
• The network connected to the LAN port. Identified by the network profile Access network on
the MSM720, and LAN port network on other controllers.
• The network connected to the Internet port. Identified by the network profile Internet network
on the MSM720, and Internet port network on other controllers.
• Any network profile that has a VLAN ID and is mapped to a port on the Controller >> Network
> VLANs page.
Assigning local networks to an AP
Each AP can be configured to support one (or more) local networks. By comparing the home
network assigned to a user with the list of local networks associated with an AP, MTM can determine
if the user is at home or roaming.
Local networks can be assigned by selecting one of the following (depending on whether you want
to define local networks for all APs, a group of APs, or a single AP):
• Controller > Controlled APs >> Configuration > Local networks
• Controller > Controlled APs > [ group ] >> Configuration > Local networks
• Controller > Controlled APs > [ AP ] >> Configuration > Local networks
In all cases you will see the Home networks configuration page.
