Q. What is a Mobility Group?
A. A Mobility Group is a group of Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) in a network with the
same Mobility Group name. These WLCs can dynamically share context and state of client
devices, WLC loading information, and can also forward data traffic among them, which
enables inter−controller wireless LAN roaming and controller redundancy. Refer to the
Configuring Mobility Groups section of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration
Guide, Release 7.0 for more information.

Q. What are the prerequisites for a Mobility Group?
A. Before you add controllers to a mobility group, you must verify that certain requirements
are met for all controllers that are to be included in the group. Refer to the Prerequisites
section of Configuring Mobility Groups for a list of these requirements.
