Mobility Anchor Definition: Mobility Anchor: In wireless networks, a Mobility Anchor is a point of attachment for a mobile device that helps maintain its connection while moving between different access points.
A Mobility Anchor is a concept in wireless networking, commonly used with Cisco wireless LAN controllers, in which a designated controller acts as a centralized point of attachment for mobile clients. It helps ensure secure and seamless mobility for users as they switch between different access points while maintaining a continuous connection, often by tunneling client traffic back to the anchor controller. The Mobility Anchor plays a key role in managing the handoff of a user's connection from one access point to another without interruption or compromising security.
