flooding
A frame is flooded when the destination location is unknown. The
destination location of a multicast frame is never known. Unicast and
multicast flooding parameters determine how a flooded frame is
forwarded.
home IP subnet
The IP subnet that contains the wired primary LAN and any wireless
extensions of the subnet.
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)
IGMP is a protocol that allows the access point to have more than eight
IP tunnels. IGMP allows an access point to participate in an IP multicast
group without any special router configuration.
inbound frames
Frames moving toward the primary LAN.
IP subnet
A single member of the collection of hardware networks that composes
an IP network. Host addresses on a given subnet share an IP network
number with hosts on all other subnets of the IP network. The local
address is divided into subnet-number and host-number fields to
indicate which subnet a host is on.
MAC address
There are 2 types of MAC addresses: unicast and broadcast. Unicast
specifies a single Ethernet interface, while multicast specifies a group of
Ethernet addresses. Broadcast is a variation of multicast in which a
multicast is received by all interfaces.
MIB (Management Information Base)
This repository stores network traffic information that SNMP
management programs collect. Your network administrator can use
management software interacting with the MIB to obtain information
about network activity. Contact your local Allied Telesyn representative
to learn how to obtain a copy of the MIB for the access point.
