Intermec 6710 manual Figuration, since multicast ARPs are never

SECTION 4 " Configuration

Setting	Description
Disabled	No special action is taken when an ARP is
(default)	received. Multicast ARP requests are
	subject to the Ethernet filters and the flood-
	ing settings. The Disabled setting is useful
	when a system has no IP radio traffic or has
	stations that do not register IP addresses.
No Flooding	ARP server converts ARPs from multicast to
	the unicast address of the destination sta-
	tion. No Flooding is the most efficient con-
	figuration, since multicast ARPs are never
	forwarded. Use of this setting requires sta-
	tions to register IP addresses with the access
	point. Use No Flooding or Disabled if wire-
	less stations do not need to respond to ARPs.
Delay Flooding	ARP server converts ARPs from multicast to
	the unicast address of the destination sta-
	tion. If the destination address is unknown,
	the initial ARP request is not forwarded. If
	the requesting device retries the ARP
	request, second and subsequent ARP re-
	quests are forwarded. ARP requests from
	wireless stations are flooded inbound.
	Delay Flooding is the preferred option when
	wireless stations should respond to ARPs,
	but are not capable of registering their IP
	addresses with the access point.
Normal Flooding	ARP server converts ARPs from multicast to
	the unicast address of destination station. If
	the destination address is unknown, the
	ARP request is flooded according to the mul-
	ticast flood level settings. ARP requests
	from wireless stations are flooded inbound.
	Normal Flooding is useful when wireless
	stations need to respond to ARP requests,
	but are not capable of registering IP address-
	es with the access point. Normal Flooding
	sends more unnecessary ARPs over wireless
	links then delay flooding. Normal Flooding
	does not introduce occasional delays in ARP
	responses as Delay Flooding does.
