Wireless Requirements
• Design Criteria
– Mobility
• Mobile device don’t disconnect and do not understand VLANs
• User are not physically constraint to space
– RF coverage
• Boundaries are less obvious
– Decisions, Decisions
• Single VLAN or VLAN Pool?
• How large should the broadcast domain be?
• L2 Mobility
• IP Mobility
– IPv6 Clients

Broadcast Domain
• “Controlling broadcast
propagation… is important
to reduce the amount of
overhead”
• Wired Network
– Broadcast Control with VLAN
segmentation
– Physically Constraint (per floor)
– Finite number of ports

“broadcast-filter arp”
• ARP will be flooded on the wired side
and sent as 802.11 unicast frame if
there is a match in the user table
• DHCP converted to unicast
• IPv6 NS is treated in a similar fashion
“broadcast-filter all”
• Packets allowed if:

ARP Packet Flow Example (with broadcast control)
Unicast Frame
Broadcast /
Multicast Frame
• Unicast frames encrypted with
PTK
VLAN
– Unique for each client
• Broadcast / Multicast frames
are not flooded
ARP • ARP packet sent only to
matching client entry in user
table
– ARP packet from Client A is sent to
Client B as 802.11 unicast
– Client C does not get ARP packet
