Filtering Multicast Addresses (Multicast)
The multicast menu allows you to control the filtering of multicasts
based on the actual multicast address. When you select the Multicast
option the Filter Multicast Menu appears.
Setting the Default Action (Default)
The default option controls the filtering of multicasts whose address is
not in the table. You may pick one of the following actions:
n Discard: Multicasts with no table entries will not be forwarded out
the radio network.
n Forward: Multicasts with no table entries will be forwarded out the
radio network.
n Accesspt: Multicasts with no table entry will only be forwarded to
other Access Points and Bridges, not to the client nodes.
n Nonpsp: Multicasts with no table entries will be forwarded out the
radio network to non-power saving end nodes, not to any nodes
using the PSP.
Displaying The Filters (Show)
Use the show option to display the multicast filters. When you select the
show option the Multicast Filters screen appears.
The filters are stored in the association table. The display of the multi-
cast filters follows the format of the normal association display. At the
end of each line the filter action for each address will be displayed.
