Table 47. Global Flooding Parameter Descriptions

Parameter	Explanation
Multicast Flooding	Determines the flooding structure when this
	access point receives inbound multicast frames
	on non-root ports with unknown destination
	addresses:
	Disabled: You do not want the access point to
	flood any inbound multicast frames.
	Universal: The access point forwards the
	multicast frame to every port. This option uses
	more bandwidth. Use this option if the root
	access point is supporting more than one
	wireless hop to ensure that ARP requests and
	multicast traffic are distributed.
	Hierarchical: The access point forwards the
	multicast frame only to the port to which the root
	access point is attached.
Multicast Outbound	Appears only if Multicast Flooding is enabled.
to Secondary LANs	Specifies if outbound multicast frames with
	unknown destination addresses are flooded
	toward secondary LANs:
	Enabled: The root access point controls flooding
	for all the designated bridges on secondary
	LANs. Enabling this parameter makes managing
	secondary LANs easier because you do not need
	to set secondary LAN flooding parameters.
	Set Locally: The designated bridges control
	flooding on their LANs.
