Hi list,

We moved to a single WPA2-Enterprise SSID with RADIUS responses dropping
users into a particular VLAN at the start of the year. However,
multicast and broadcast traffic is seen by all clients, regardless of
VLAN. After some thought, this makes sense because the SSID has a common
group temporal key for broadcast/multicast. However I was wondering if
all clients had to have the same GTK, or if it's possible (or if some
vendor even implements) having a different one for clients on different
VLANs.

We are probably going to split up the clients across multiple SSIDs
again, as we're seeing Bonjour instability (you try telling a teacher to
plug into a cable after using AirPlay last year), which may be caused by
too much broadcast/multicast traffic or possibly just Bonjour not
handlins seeing queries from devices on different VLANs.
