7. Does the radio network contain WLIF nodes that do
not periodically generate traffic?
Answer Setting
Yes Inbound/Unicast/Primary
Outbound to Secondaries/Unicast/Registered*
or
Inbound/Unicast/Enabled**
* Support communications with a distribution LAN.
** Supports general peer-to-peer communications.
"
NOTE: WLIF nodes using NORAND terminal emulation periodically
generate traffic, and do not require flooding.
Comments:
You may need to enable unicast flooding if the radio
network contains WLIF terminal nodes or nodes on a
secondary Ethernet LAN that do not periodically
generate traffic. Occasional traffic is needed to
maintain information in the forwarding database.
You can also do the following:
" Use the Outbound to Secondaries/Unicast/
Enabled setting to force unicast flooding to WLIF
nodes.
" Use the Inbound/Unicast/Primary or Outbound
to Secondaries/Unicast/Registered setting in
combination with the Flood Register/Unicast
setting for selected secondary Ethernet LANs.
These settings avoid network-wide universal
flooding if nodes that do not periodically generate
traffic are restricted to those secondary Ethernet
LANs.
