Figure 9-6 WLC Forwarding the ARP Toward the Gateway

As switches receive the ARP request, they read the destination MAC address, which is a

broadcast, and flood the frame out all ports except the one it came in on. The exception

to this rule is if VLANs are in use, in which case the frame would be flooded to all ports

that are members of the same VLAN. Assuming that VLANs are not in use, the frame, as

stated, is flooded out all ports except the one it came in on.
