5.9.2. Layer 3 IP Forward Connectivity Considerations

When using Layer 3 IP forward in an enterprise network, such as a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, the
connectivity may be reduced.
The cause may be:
• Multiple devices sharing a single wireless interface is not typically supported without special configuration.
• The network cannot enforce a 1-to-1 mapping of IP to MAC addresses and must allow propagation of
broadcasted ARP messages over the wireless segment in order to route traffic to the bridged devices.
If this for security or performance reasons is not acceptable, a setup with a single Ethernet node connected to
the Wireless Bridge is recommended.
