Bridge networks with ASA5506

I was not even sure how to title this thread. Here is what's going on.

 

I have a 5506-X ASA with 3 isolated inside networks.

 

1: 10.10.1.0/24 on gi 1/2, let's call this LAN A

2: 10.10.2.0/24 on gi 1/3, let's call this LAN B

3: 10.10.3.0/24 on gi 1/4, let's call this LAN C

 

We plan to provide wireless access to all 3 subnets. Instead of getting one AP per subnet, can I connect just one to say Gi1/8 and allow wired A hosts to talk to wireless A hosts, wired B to wireless B, etc?

 

I know how to do this on a switch using trunks and vlans, but how do I accomplish this with an ASA? I have little to no experience with firewalls.

 

Hopefully I explained that right. Thanks in advance!

I do not think a BVI interface would be helpful in you particular case.

The BVI interface in routed mode allows the combination of routed ports into one L3 interface to function like a switch, but you would need more than one network configured on this BVI interface which is not possible as far as I know in the 5506X.

If you have the interfaces of the ASA connected to a switch that you could use trunk ports to the APs.
