Flood Register
As the designated bridge for this secondary Ethernet LAN,
the access point can register the type of frames it expects to
flood — unicast, multicast, or both. This information is
registered with other access points. Setting [Global
Flooding] settings in the super root overrides individual
Flood Register settings in designated bridges.
Flood Register settings are:
Disabled
Multicast
Unicast
Enabled
