A computer-implemented method by a mobility agent entity distributed over a first mobility switch and a second mobility switch, comprising: the the establishing a first mobility tunnel between the first mobility switch and the second mobility switch within a mobility domain, the mobility domain providing wireless network connectivity for mobile units, the first mobility switch and the second mobility switch being network switches that process data traffic from one or more mobile units, the first mobility tunnel providing a connection for control messaging between the mobility switches; exchanging advertisements between the first mobility switch and the second mobility switch via the first mobility tunnel, the advertisements identifying mobility Virtual Local Area Networks, VLANs, for which each respective mobility switch acts as a mobility VLAN server, the first mobility switch acting as a first mobility VLAN server for a first mobility VLAN; receiving a request to add the second mobility switch as a member of the first mobility VLAN, the request received via the first mobility tunnel in response to a first mobile unit attempting to connect to the first mobility VLAN via the second mobility switch, the first mobile unit being a member of the first mobility VLAN; adding the first mobility tunnel as a member of the first mobility VLAN to enable the second mobility switch to access the first mobility VLAN; establishing a first access tunnel between the first mobility switch and a first access point device, the first access point device having a network connection to the first mobility switch, the first access point device providing wireless network connectivity to one or more mobile units within the mobility domain; establishing a second access tunnel between the second mobility switch and a second access point device, the second access point device having a network connection to the second mobility switch, the second access point device providing wireless network connectivity to one or more mobile unit within the mobility domain; and receiving a request to add the second access point device as a member of the first mobility VLAN, the request received via the second access tunnel in response to the first mobile unit attempting to connect to the first mobility VLAN via the second access point device. the the establishing a first mobility tunnel between the first mobility switch and the second mobility switch within a mobility domain, the mobility domain providing wireless network connectivity for mobile units, the first mobility switch and the second mobility switch being network switches that process data traffic from one or more mobile units, the first mobility tunnel providing a connection for control messaging between the mobility switches; exchanging advertisements between the first mobility switch and the second mobility switch via the first mobility tunnel, the advertisements identifying mobility Virtual Local Area Networks, VLANs, for which each respective mobility switch acts as a mobility VLAN server, the first mobility switch acting as a first mobility VLAN server for a first mobility VLAN; receiving a request to add the second mobility switch as a member of the first mobility VLAN, the request received via the first mobility tunnel in response to a first mobile unit attempting to connect to the first mobility VLAN via the second mobility switch, the first mobile unit being a member of the first mobility VLAN; adding the first mobility tunnel as a member of the first mobility VLAN to enable the second mobility switch to access the first mobility VLAN; establishing a first access tunnel between the first mobility switch and a first access point device, the first access point device having a network connection to the first mobility switch, the first access point device providing wireless network connectivity to one or more mobile units within the mobility domain; establishing a second access tunnel between the second mobility switch and a second access point device, the second access point device having a network connection to the second mobility switch, the second access point device providing wireless network connectivity to one or more mobile unit within the mobility domain; and receiving a request to add the second access point device as a member of the first mobility VLAN, the request received via the second access tunnel in response to the first mobile unit attempting to connect to the first mobility VLAN via the second access point device.
