ry group.
Default Group 1
Primary Group 3
Helpful Hints:
• Reduces broadcasts to the default group.
• Best used when only one device is
attached to each port.
If move_from_def is disabled....
Default/Pri
Device on port matches poli-
cy in another mobile group

group. Group 3 is now a
“secondary” group for this
port.

Why disable move_from_def?
• When multiple devices are attached to
the switch port, the port must support
multiple traffic in the default group as
well as traffic in the secondary mobile
groups.
