Checking The Flooding Levels; Checking The Filtering Levels - Intermec 6400 User Manual

SECTION 3
" NOTE:
You can verify the LAN ID by creating a Telnet session with
each access point and using the access point configuration
menus to view the LAN ID, or by using a tool such as HP
OpenView or the OWLView application (or both) to view
this information.
The SNMP MIB object for the LAN ID is:
norand.manage.norandNET.nBridge.brgState.bsLanId

Checking the Flooding Levels

The access point can be configured to flood packets through
the radio. This is often used when traffic from
non Enterprise Wireless LAN devices needs to be moved
through the wireless LAN. If network traffic is heavy,
flooding decreases the throughput and response time of the
radio network. In these cases it is best to decrease flooding
if possible.
If the Enterprise Wireless LAN is being used only for 6400
computer client server applications, access point flooding
can be disabled. For information about flooding levels and
how to set them, refer to the 21XX Universal Access Point
Technical Reference Manual (P/N
Access Point User's Guide (P/N 961 047 081).

Checking the Filtering Levels

If it is necessary to enable access point flooding, you can use
filters to decrease the amount of data being flooded. The
access point's filtering menus allow for setting filters by
packet type. By allowing only the needed packet types to
be flooded through the radio network, performance can be
improved. For information about filtering levels and how to
set them, refer to the 21XX Universal Access Point
Technical Reference Manual (P/N
Access Point User's Guide.
