Aruba's VLAN pooling ROCKS!!!! We use 4 VLANs/controller (all /24's) and pool
them. Users are load-balanced across the 4 VLANs/subnets automagically.

Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Meru and Broadcast Suppression
At the moment: /20 but with a lot of controls on Broadcast and Multicast
(I would advise against it!)
We lived well with a /21 though
Our new Aruba install is planned with a bunch of /23 and /24,
using VLAN pooling.

Hello,
Anyone that is using Meru know how well Meru does broadcast suppression to WLAN
clients. Looking at some of my packet captures the broadcast traffic seems to
be limited but I do see some broadcasted DHCP packets. I know they claim to do
some suppression according to the config guide. It doesn't seem as cut and dry
though as compared to how Cisco's WLC's do it.
We are looking to possibly expand the size of our subnets for wireless and this
plays into that. What are some of the subnet sizes that some of you are using
for WLAN?
Thanks!
