Correct Answer
C. Option 3Explanation
A mobility group refers to a group of controllers that are configured in the same mobility group. This means that these controllers are configured to share information and work together to provide seamless roaming for wireless clients. By being in the same mobility group, the controllers can share client information and maintain connectivity as clients move between access points controlled by different controllers within the group. This allows for a smooth handoff of clients between access points and ensures uninterrupted wireless connectivity.Rate this question:

- a. True
- b. False
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
A client cannot roam between two controllers in different mobility domains. Roaming refers to the ability of a client device to maintain network connectivity as it moves between different access points or controllers within the same mobility domain. If the controllers are in different mobility domains, the client would need to re-authenticate and establish a new connection with the new controller, which is not considered roaming. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

Option 2
- C.
Option 3
- D.
Option 4
Correct Answer
A. Option 1Explanation
When client traffic is tunneled back to the anchor controller before being sent to its destination, it is called symmetric tunneling. In this type of tunneling, the client's traffic is first sent to the anchor controller, which then forwards it to the intended destination. This approach ensures that all client traffic passes through the anchor controller, allowing for centralized control and management of the traffic flow.Rate this question:
