Configuring Mobility
Domain Seed
Redundancy
You can optionally specify a secondary seed in a Mobility Domain. The
secondary seed provides redundancy for the primary seed switch in the
Mobility Domain. If the primary seed becomes unavailable, the secondary
seed assumes the role of the seed switch. This allows the Mobility
Domain to continue functioning if the primary seed becomes unavailable.

Specifying a secondary seed for a Mobility Domain is useful since it
eliminates the single point of failure that can occur if connectivity to the
seed switch is lost.

If countermeasures had been in effect on the primary seed, they are
stopped while the secondary seed gathers RF data from the member
switches. Once the secondary seed has rebuilt the RF database,
countermeasures can be restored.

Use the following commands to configure a Mobility Domain consisting
of a primary seed, secondary seed, and one or more member switches:
of a primary seed, secondary seed, and one or more member switches:
On the primary seed:
set mobility-domain mode seed domain-name mob-domain-name
set mobility-domain member ip-addr
set mobility-domain member ip-addr
(for each member switch)
On the secondary seed:
set mobility-domain mode secondary-seed domain-name
mob-domain-name seed-ip primary-seed-ip-addr
set mobility-domain member ip-addr
mob-domain-name seed-ip primary-seed-ip-addr
set mobility-domain member ip-addr
(for each member switch)
On the other member switches in the Mobility Domain:
set mobility-domain mode member seed-ip primary-seed-ip-addr
set mobility-domain mode member secondary-seed-ip

set mobility-domain mode member secondary-seed-ip
