Always look closely at the physical topology no matter how much of a rats nest it may be.

Odd issue i ran into. There are several pc's hardwired to a switch but for some reason the mac address of those pc's shows up being learned from the ap hanging off of that same switch. The ap uses the same vlan as the switch for access and only has one ip associated with it via the bvi. The bvi ip is in the same subnet as the rest of the small network. There is not a physical loop in the topology either. Also those pc's are not somehow multi-homing with wired and wireless. Any ideas what may cause this behavior?

Mac address learned through AP when connected via wired

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
