ARP Server Mode

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Server Mode converts
multicast ARP requests to unicast ARP requests for
stations in the forwarding database, which can significantly
improve wireless network performance in busy IP
networks.
By default, ARP Server Mode is disabled in the access
point. For 6400 TCP/IP client communications, ARP Server
Mode must be enabled. The enabled setting of No Flooding
is recommended for almost all installations.
Page 3-20 in Section 3 contains information about troubleshooting
ARP Server Mode.

Flooding

To allow performance tuning, the access point provides
separate flooding control options for unicast and multicast
frames. Access points serving as designated bridges
connecting wired LAN segments may be configured to use
different flooding settings than access points serving only
6400 computers.
For 6400 TCP/IP client communications, it is recommended
that you use the access point's default settings for multicast
and unicast frames types, as shown in the following charts.
