Wireless and Wired Users on Same Vlan

So whats the official verdict on this in 2020?

I’ve seen it go either way depending on who you ask. Historically, best practice was separate vlans to prevent half-duplex wireless clients getting flooded by broadcast/multicast traffic. But now with BCMC suppression and other features on Wireless Controllers is that a factor any more?

  • Would be nice to have a single vlan/subnet instead of duplicates.

  • Is there any official best practice to check on Aruba WLCs to make sure BCMC is suppressed? I’ve seen a few different knobs but not entirely sure which combination works well
