Filtering occurs regardless of whether the destination
address is in the forwarding database. Using filters can
improve the performance of the access point and prevent
undesired frames from being forwarded to wireless stations
attached to the access point.
Flooding decisions are made after frames have been
received on a port and filtered. Flooding settings determine
how the access point forwards frames to destination
addresses not in the forwarding database.
Radio Ports
Each of the two radio ports in the access point are a
connection into a LAN segment consisting of all wireless
stations and access points that use the same wireless
technology, are within wireless communications range of
the access point, and are configured to communicate
together.
The two
PC card slots are intended for wireless NICs and
are designated as NIC1 and NIC2. Internally, they are
configured as Port 3 and Port 2, respectively. The following
wireless options are currently supported:
"
WLIF (2.4 GHz).
"
900 MHz.
"
450 MHz S-UHF.
The different media options provide alternative coverage
and throughput tradeoffs. Radio media options are
described in more detail in Appendixes B, C, and D.
The access point also supports combinations of two adapters
for operation in mixed media systems; or, for WLIF radios,
a wireless access point capability. The following dual radio
configurations are supported:
"
WLIF and 900 MHz.
"
WLIF and S-UHF.
"
WLIF and WLIF (limited to Master/Slave
configuration for wireless access points).
