An ARP request is a multicast packet, which means the packet is sent to
all devices on the network. If the access point is acting as an ARP server,
it translates the multicast packet into a unicast packet, which means that
the packet is only sent to the destination end device. Thus, all wireless
end devices do not need to wake up to listen to the ARP request, which
saves battery life.
To configure the access point as an ARP server:
1. From the menu, click TCP/IP Settings. The TCP/IP Settings screen
appears, as shown in Figure 21.

2. Click the down arrow on the right side of the ARP Server Mode field
and choose No Flooding or Normal Flooding.
3. To disable the ARP server, choose Disabled.
4. Click Submit Changes to save your changes. To activate your changes,
click the Save/Discard Changes link in the menu bar and then click
Save Changes and Reboot. For help, see Saving Your Configuration
