Roaming
Status Type
Description
Home Switch/Home
VLAN
This switch is the home agent for a station, and the client is on the VLAN on which it
has an IP address.
Mobile IP Visitor This switch is not the home agent for a client.
Mobile IP Binding
(away)
This switch is the home agent for a client that is currently away.
Home Switch/Foreign
VLAN
This switch is the home agent for a client, but the client is currently on a different
VLAN than its home VLAN (the VLAN from which it acquired its IP address).
Stale The client does not have connectivity in the mobility domain. Either the switch has
received a disassociation message for a client, but has not received an association
or registration request for the client from another switch, or a home agent binding
for the station has expired before being refreshed by a foreign agent.
No Mobility Service The switch cannot provide mobility service to this client. The mobile client may lose
its IP address if it obtains the address via DHCP and has limited connectivity. The
mobile client may be using an IP address that cannot be served, or there may be a
roaming hole due to improper configuration.

an IP address.

Away This client is currently away from its home agent switch.
Foreign VLAN This client is on its home agent switch but the client is currently on a different VLAN
