Known Issues:
- Multicast-to-unicast conversion does not work for a client that is connected to a Dynamic VLAN SSID even though IGMP snooping is enabled. This does not impact the connectivity or the data path of the client.
- An iPhone cannot connect when the authentication is configured as WPA2/WPA3 personal (mixed authentication), and multi-link operation (MLO) is enabled.
Workaround: Change the authentication to WPA3 personal. - The ARP proxy feature does not work if you add a rule that denies (drops) ARP packets in the MAC IP Traffic Filter.
