SECTION 4 " Configuration

S-UHF Flooding Level

Because of its low bandwidth, S-UHF is vulnerable to excess traffic from busy backbones. The recommended settings for S-UHF is Inbound/Disabled and Outbound to Secondaries/Disabled (for the multicast and unicast options). These settings prevent excessive traffic from being forwarded onto the RF medium.

Flood Register

You can use the Inbound option and Outbound to Secondaries option in combination with the Flood Register setting for the Ethernet port. You can configure the network so that unicast or multicast frames are flooded only to secondary Ethernet LANs that have unicast or multicast flooding (or both) enabled. Unicast and multicast flooding options for secondary Ethernet LANs start on page 4-59.

ARP Server Mode

ARP Server Mode can convert multicast ARP requests to unicast ARP requests for stations in the forwarding database. ARP Server Mode can significantly improve wireless network performance in busy IP networks. Settings are:

Disabled

No Flooding

Delay Flooding

Normal Flooding

When ARP Server Mode is enabled, the IP addresses are included in the forwarding database entry for the station. The ARP server learns the IP addresses of wireless stations by monitoring ARP packets. Additionally, some stations may have the capability of explicitly registering IP addresses with the ARP server.
