Block/Limited broadcast forwarding with ACL on WLAN w/ multiples SSIDs

ANTONIO DEUS

Hello,

 

In a WLC we have several SSIDs, with different addresses and different types of authentication (PSK and 802.1x).

 

A sound system has been purchased (it has two components of communication: part of the network cable and other one of wireless), which requires that the communication between the two parts (cable: system; wireless: remote control) requires that the broadcast forwarding is active (enabled).

 

Since this feature is global but only needed for a specific SSID (WLAN), since I have more SSIDs, I do not want other SSIDs to be able to do Broadcast Forwarding.

 

Is it possible to limit broadcast forwarding with ACL on each WLAN? If possible, does anyone know how to limit by ACL in WLC 5520 Broadcast Forwarding?

 

Thank you in advance,
Antonio

This feature should not be enabled as it will significantly impact wireless performance. As it is a global setting, you do not have any control over to limit it to one WLAN.

 

Look for any workaround to make it wired
