You may also need to adjust the flooding parameters. Here are some
recommendations:
If there are no end devices on the secondary LAN, the bridge on the
secondary LAN can use the default flooding settings. The Secondary
LAN Flooding parameter is disabled.
If there are end devices on the secondary LAN, the bridge on the
secondary LAN should have Secondary LAN Flooding parameter set
to Multicast. If you also want unicast flooding, you can set this
parameter to Enabled.
If there are end devices on the secondary LAN and the end devices
communicate with end devices on another secondary LAN, the root
access point should have its Multicast Flooding parameter set to
Universal. This setting ensures that all ARP requests and multicast
traffic is distributed through a second or third hop.
