I believe that this prevents users on an SSID from talking to other
users on that same SSID within the mobility group.

*Subject:* [WIRELESS-LAN] iPad Syncing over Wireless
Hello All,
We like many of you are seeing iPads on our wireless network. One
user currently and I suspect more to come is having trouble syncing
with their laptop over the wireless network.
We are a Cisco LWAPP shop and I believe the default behavior is to not
allow hosts in the same subnet/SSID talk to each other. This sound
like good practice but would explain the behavior that the user is
experiencing.
Has anyone else seen this? If so how did you deal with it?
I suppose it depends what your network connection and/or information
security policy says about "clients", and whether they're allowed to
provide services to each other. Allowing wireless clients to infest each
other with viruses and clog your APs up with music transfers isn't a
great idea if you're trying to provide a service IMHO.
