Flooding Level Checklist
You can use the following list of questions to determine the
required flooding levels for the Inbound and Outbound to
Secondaries options. The list is structured so that you
should skip later questions as soon as you determine
the appropriate flood level settings.
If your answer is “I do not know,” go to the next question. If
you cannot determine the appropriate flooding levels, use
the higher (multicast) flooding levels.
" NOTE: If extensive flooding is enabled, it will be more important to set
Ethernet filters to reduce unnecessary traffic in the radio network. In
general, the need for filters increases with the amount of traffic on
the distribution LAN and the flooding levels. Filtering starts on page
4-43.
1. Is the open wireless LAN used only with NORAND R
emulation terminals?
Answer Settings
Yes Inbound/Unicast/Disabled
Inbound/Multicast/Enabled
Outbound to Secondaries/Unicast/Disabled
Outbound to Secondaries/Multicast/Disabled
Comments:
Unicast flooding is not required to support NORAND
terminal emulation because the NORAND transport
layer (used for terminal emulation) periodically
generates traffic. Inbound multicast flooding is
required. Outbound multicast flooding is not required
because NORAND terminal emulation stations do not
need to receive multicast frames.
