Viewing Associated Client Distributed Tunneling Status
The WLAN > Monitoring > Client > Associated Clients > Distributed Tunneling page for the associated client status
shows information about access points that the client detects. The AP-AP tunneling mode is used to support L3 roaming for
wireless clients without forwarding any data traffic to the wireless switch.
In the AP-AP tunneling mode, when a client first associates with an AP in the wireless system, the AP forwards the wireless
client's data using VLAN forwarding mode. The AP the client initially associates with is called the Home AP . The AP the client
roams to is called the Association AP .
Use the menu above the table to select the MAC address of the client with the information to view.
Table 301
describes the information available on the Distributed Tunneling page for the associated client status.
