Description

BROADCAST

Select any of the following values:

FILTERING

• All — The AP drops all broadcast and multicast frames except DHCP and ARP.

 

• ARP — The AP converts ARP requests to unicast and sends frames directly to

 

the associated client.

 

• Disabled — The AP forwards all broadcast and multicast traffic.

 

 

DTIM INTERVAL

The DTIM INTERVAL indicates the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM)

 

period in beacons, which can be configured for every WLAN SSID profile. The

 

DTIM interval determines how often the AP delivers the buffered broadcast and mul-

 

ticast frames to associated clients in the powersave mode. The default value is 1,

 

which means the client checks for buffered data on the AP at every beacon. You

 

can also configure a higher DTIM value for power saving.

 

 

MULTICAST

Select Enabled if you want the AP to select the optimal rate for sending broadcast

TRANSMISSION

and multicast frames based on the lowest of unicast rates across all associated cli-

OPTIMIZATION

ents. When this option is enabled, multicast traffic can be sent up to 24 Mbps. The

 

default rate for sending frames for 2.4 GHz is 1 Mbps and 5.0 GHz is 6 Mbps. This

 

option is disabled by default.

 

 

DYNAMIC

Select Enabled to allow AP to convert multicast streams into unicast streams over
