Addressing Limitations and
Flooding Restrictions
Wireless stations using IP must be assigned addresses on
the home subnet. The ARP server capability can be enabled
to reduce propagation of ARPs through tunnels. IP servers
can be located on any subnet; however, it is desirable to
choose the subnet containing servers used extensively by
client wireless stations as the home subnet if possible.
For stations or servers using protocols other than IP, there
are no restrictions on location of servers or address
assignments. Routing is minimized if servers are located on
the home subnet.
OWL/IP does not flood outbound unicast frames. Multicast
IP frames are forwarded outbound from the home subnet.
Designated bridges forward unicast and multicast frames
inbound to the home subnet if the IP address belongs to the
home subnet. (See “Subnet Filtering,” page E-6.) Global
Flooding settings and Flood Register settings do not apply
to OWL/IP tunnels.
Permanent Filters
Certain frame types are never forwarded through tunnels.
These include those IP protocols used for coordinating
routers, or MAC frames used for coordinating bridges.
These frames are not forwarded:
"
802.1d bridge frames.
"
IP frames with a broadcast or multicast Ethernet
address.
"
IP frames with the following (router) protocol types
and decimal values:
