BreezeNET PRO.11 Series 3-10 User’s Guide
This procedure prevents packets destined for stations behind the bridge
from getting lost. The value of this parameter is the length of time in
seconds that the AP will remain in special mode.
• IP Filtering – Whether IP filtering is enabled for the unit. Enable IP
Filtering to filter out any other protocol (such as IPX) if you want that
only IP traffic will pass through the WLAN.
• Tunneling – Whether the unit performs Apletalk or IPX tunneling.
• Disable Appletalk Tunneling. This parameter allows to disable or
enable (default) Appletalk tunneling; if the network contains a mix of
Ethertalk1 (ET1) and Ethertalk2 (ET2) stations to ensure smooth
communications. Be sure to set all units to the same tunneling
setting.
• Disable IPX Tunneling. This parameter allows to disable or enable
(default) IPX tunneling; if the IPX protocol is running over your
network. Be sure to set all units to the same tunneling setting.
• Broadcast Relaying (AP Only) – When Broadcast Relaying is enabled,
Broadcast packets originated in WLAN devices are transmitted by the
AP back to the WLAN devices, as well as to the LAN. If it is disabled,
these packets are sent only to the local wired LAN and are not sent back
to the WLAN. Disable Broadcast Relaying only if you know that all
Broadcast messages from the WLAN will be destined to the wired LAN.
• Unicast Relaying – When Unicast Relaying is enabled, Unicast packets
originated in WLAN devices can be transmitted back to the WLAN
devices. If this parameter is disabled, these packets are not sent to the
WLAN even if they are intended for devices on the WLAN. Disable
Unicast Relaying only if you know that all Unicast messages from the
WLAN will be destined to the local wired LAN.
Note: Notice that some of the most common internet applications use peer-to-peer traffic, such
as “chat”, ICQ and even internet browsing between a client and a server which are connected
wirelessly on the same subnet. Disabling Broadcast or Unicast relaying will cause such
applications to become unavailable.
