Hi,
I would like to build wireless network, how to implement client roaming between two or more CAPsMAN?

Make sure that the CAP interfaces are in the same data-path bridge and the client roaming should be working ok.

Hi,
Your diagram is a little ambiguous. are you using one or more CAPsMANs (CAP Managers)…?

Thanks a lot! but my two CAPsMANs connected with a link from each Layer3 switches ( not the same vlan). how to use same data-path bridge? create a eoip tunnel between CAPsMANs and add it to CAP interfaces bridge? I want to use capsman to implement the Huawei White Paper function( http://enterprise.huawei.com/ilink/enenterprise/download/HW_338471). eg: Figure 4-1 Core-layer inter-AC roaming solution (P32).

I’m designing a campus wireless network solutions. The campus has two Layer 3 subnets, I want to use two CAPsMANs manage about 50 CAPs , like the Huawei White Paper (Page 32: Figure 4-1 Core-layer inter-AC roaming solution http://enterprise.huawei.com/ilink/enenterprise/download/HW_338471 ).

Both CAPsMAN CAP devices will be located in the same area or one CAPsMAN per area?
You want to provide the same IP address for the clients that roams from one CAPsMAN to another CAPsMAN or use the IP address that are provided in each area (the IP addresses will be from different layer3 network)?

One CAPsMAN per area, and provide the same IP address for the clients that roams from one CAPsMAN to another CAPsMAN.

Assume for simplicity, CAPsMAN used only as controller and L2 forwarder, but not as router.
Then bridges from datapath must be L2 connected.

If CAPsMAN used also as router, then VRRP and primary/backup DHCP configuration can be used to ensure router fail-over
