Status Type
Description
Home Switch/Home
VLAN
This controller 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 controller is not the home agent for a client.
Mobile IP Binding (away) This controller is the home agent for a client that is currently away.
Home Switch/Foreign
VLAN
This controller 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 controller has received a
disassociation message for a client but has not received an association or registration request
for the client from another controller, or a home agent binding for the station has expired before
being refreshed by a foreign agent.
No Mobility Service The controller 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.
