Table 47. Global Flooding Parameter Descriptions (Continued)

Parameter	Explanation
Allow Multicast	Appears only if Multicast Flooding is enabled.
Outbound to	Determines if outbound multicast frames with
Terminals
	unknown destination addresses are flooded
	toward end devices. Typically, this parameter is
	checked. However, if your wired devices do not
	need to initiate communication with wireless end
	devices, you may want to clear this check box.
Unicast Flooding	Determines the flooding structure when this
	access point receives inbound unicast frames on
	non-root ports with unknown destination
	addresses:
	Disabled: You do not want the access point to
	flood any inbound unicast frames.
	Universal: The access point forwards the unicast
	frame to every port. This option uses more
	bandwidth.
	Hierarchical: The access point forwards the
	unicast frame only to the port to which the root
	access point is attached.
Unicast Outbound	Appears only if Unicast Flooding is enabled.
to Secondary LANs	Specifies if outbound unicast 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.
Allow Unicast	Appears only if Unicast Flooding is enabled.
Outbound to	Determines if outbound unicast frames with
Terminals
	unknown destination addresses are flooded
	toward end devices.
