Broadcast forwarding WLC 9800

Jeremy Dubrulle — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 19:38:53 GMT

Hello,

I have a need to enable broadcast on a specific SSID with 9800 WLC.

I know it's impossible with old WLC but is it possible with 9800 ?

Is there a way to enable this only on specific AP with flexconnect for example ?

My goal is to avoid enabling that on the whole WLC.

Thanks,

Jérémy

Hi Jeremy,

Pls check the below post on FlexConnect broadcast traffic behavior

https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless-and-mobility/flexconnect-and-broadcasts/td-p/2044077

I do not think you can configure it for specific flex profile. It is a global config

Hello Rasika,

Thanks for your help.

For flexconnect that's a good piece of information.

Anyway I've found since I created the topic this doc : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/9800/cmd-ref/b_wl_16_10_cr/configuration-commands-g-to-z.html#wp7625205920

It explains that To enable broadcast support on a VLAN, use the wireless broadcast vlan command in global configuration mode. To disable Ethernet broadcast support, use the no form of the command.
