(ARP) suppression. ARP suppression decreases the management
traffic that the wireless controller must handle. ARP suppression is
enabled by default and applies to the wired interface only.
With ARP suppression enabled, if the IP addresses of all WiFi clients
that are associated with an access point are known, the wireless
controller handles ARP requests in the following ways:
• A packet with a known IP address is forwarded to its destination.
• A packet with an unknown IP address is dropped.
With ARP suppression enabled, if the IP address of at least one WiFi
client that is associated with an access point is not known, the wireless
controller broadcasts (that is, floods) the ARP requests into the WiFi
network.
Select the disable radio button to disable ARP suppression.
