Walt,
Can you elaborate on how you disabled broadcast and multicast packets on
your wireless VLANS.
Thanks,
David

With our Cisco WiSM we run a 21 bit mask VLAN for students and a second
21 bit mask VLAN for faculty/staff using VLAN assignment.
In our setup, multicast and broadcast packets are disabled on the
wireless VLANS so the large size is not an issue.
This was actually a nice feature of the controller. Broadcast traffic
that needs to work (ARP, etc) gets answered by the controller and
everything else (windows file sharing, etc) gets dropped. We don't have
any applications that we support on wireless that require broadcast or
multicast so this was an easy choice.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Question on layer 3 size
Greetings,
Cisco 4402 and 4404 Wireless Lan Controllers with a mixer of Cisco
light
weight access points. Currently running a 22 bit mask for the 1022 hosts
on
one SSID/VLAN. Would welcome any real world experience about increasing
to a
21 bit mask for the 2046 hosts or larger on one SSID/VLAN with Cisco
WLCs
and lwaps.
Thanks!
jim
