The ARP FILTER enables IP ARP broadcast filtering. When this filter is enabled, ARP broadcasts
will be forwarded from Ethernet to RangeLAN2 only if the destination IP address is on the IP
network defined by the IP Network Address and Subnet Mask fields.
BROADCAST BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION allows you to specify the maximum percentage of
broadcast packets that will be sent from the Ethernet network to the wireless clients. There may be
cases when you want to limit broadcast traffic. For example, if you know there are more broadcast
packets than the 1.6 Mbps speed of the RangeLAN2 interface can handle, you might want to limit
the broadcasts. As another example, to prioritize directed packets, you might want to free some of
the buffers used for broadcast packets by setting this limit.
Spanning Tree Enabled/Disabled
One of the <Configure Bridge> parameters is the ability to enable or disable spanning tree support.
If you have no other bridges on the network, or you have some method other than the IEEE 802.1d
Spanning Tree Protocol to prevent loops on the network, you can choose to Disable this feature.
