Choose Enabled if the root access point controls flooding for all
the designated bridges on secondary LANs. Enabling this
parameter makes managing secondary LANs easier because you
do not need to set secondary LAN flooding parameters.

Choose Set Locally if the designated bridges control flooding on
their LANs.

Allow Multicast Outbound to Terminals

(Multicast Flood Mode enabled)

Determines if outbound multicast frames with unknown
destination addresses are flooded toward end devices. Typically,
this parameter is checked. However, if your wired devices do not
need to initiate communication with wireless end devices, you
may want to clear this check box.

Unicast Flooding

Determines the flooding structure when this access point receives
inbound unicast frames on non-root ports with unknown
destination addresses. Choose Disabled if you do not want the
access point to flood any inbound unicast frames.

Choose Universal if the access point forwards the unicast frame to
every port. This option uses more bandwidth.

Choose Hierarchical if the access point forwards the unicast frame
only to the port to which the root access point is attached.

Unicast Outbound to Secondary LANs

(Unicast Flood Mode enabled)

Specifies if outbound unicast frames with unknown destination
addresses are flooded toward secondary LANs.

Choose Enabled if the root access point controls flooding for all
the designated bridges on secondary LANs. Enabling this
parameter makes managing secondary LANs easier because you
do not need to set secondary LAN flooding parameters.

Choose Set Locally if the designated bridges control flooding on
their LANs.
