Introduction
Introducing the MSM7xx Controllers
1-9
APs, including newly discovered APs. It also displays status information for all team
members and their APs, as well as APs directly connected to the manager.
The team manager is responsible for enforcing and updating the firmware of team
members. An update to the team manager firmware triggers an update of all members
and their controlled APs, ensuring that the entire network is running the same firmware.
The synchronization of firmware between controllers and APs alleviates any potential
issue regarding software compatibility between deployed devices.
Seamless mobility
The Mobility traffic manager (MTM) feature provides for seamless roaming of wireless users,
while at the same time giving you complete control over how wireless user traffic is
distributed onto the wired networking infrastructure. MTM enables you to implement a
wireless networking solution using both centralized and distributed strategies. Some of the
deployment strategies that you can use with MTM include:
 Centralized wireless traffic: All traffic from wireless users is tunneled back to a
central controller where it is egressed onto the wired infrastructure. Wireless users can
be connected to any AP within the layer 3 network serviced by MTM.
The following diagram shows a deployment where all wireless traffic is egressed onto a
specific network segment (192.168.30.0).
MTM can also be used to send traffic to different networks or VLANs based on criteria
such as username, network location, VSC, or AP group.
 Traffic distribution using home networks: A home network can be assigned to each
wireless user (via RADIUS, local user accounts, or through a VSC egress). MTM can then
be used to tunnel the user’s traffic to their home network, regardless of the AP to which a
user connects within the mobility domain.
