Maintaining ARP Entries For Wireless Bridge Clients

Maintaining ARP Entries For Wireless Bridge Clients

The wireless disabled clients residing behind a wireless bridge might get disconnected when roaming. With this release, the IP address of such clients is retained for a configured cache timeout period and if the reconnection occurs within this period, the client connectivity is not impacted. This ensures that wireless bridge clients are not disconnected from the controller even if the wireless bridge is disconnected and connected back.

You can configure the IP Address Cache Timeout for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the ESS profile.

Navigate to Configuration > Wireless > ESS
