Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard

(NMS) Release 6 or later to override the mesh paths selected by particular 
BelAir nodes to optimize performance.

Client Association 

Records

In HCI environments, client associations are often of short duration and the 
connection data is discarded rapidly to support newer clients. This causes some 
associations to be missed by the polling cycle of the NMS.
To increase the measurability of the network, BelAir nodes maintain a circular 
buffer containing information, such as client MAC and IP address, RSSI, and 
connection duration, about current and recently associated clients. These client 
records can be used to assist the NMS.

CTS-to-Self 

Control

Normally, an 802.11g AP uses CTS-to-self to interact with 802.11b APs. The 
transmitted packet is small, but in HCI environments the accumulated effect is a 
substantial performance penalty. This feature disables 802.11b protection for 
the radio, maximizing the throughput for wireless clients that operate in the 
2.4 GHz range. 
This feature improves performance if there are only a few 802.11b clients 
present and they are not generating large amounts of traffic. If not, the 802.11b 
clients may generate substantial numbers of collisions and actually impair traffic.
For details, see 

“802.11b Protection” on page 98

. 

DHCP to 

Attached Clients 

Only

This feature prevents the radio from forwarding DHCP responses for MAC 
addresses that are not used by an associated client, thus reducing the number 
of transmitted packets and improving bandwidth use. This feature is always 
enabled. 

ARP to Attached 

Clients Only

This feature prevents the radio from forwarding ARP requests for IP addresses 
that are not used by an associated client, thus reducing the number of 
transmitted packets and improving bandwidth use.
For details, see 

“ARP Filtering” on page 97

. 

Upstream 

Broadcast Filter

When enabled, this feature limits the types of multicast and broadcast packets 
passed through the AP:

• In the upstream direction (from the client), only ARP requests, DHCP 

requests and DHCP discover messages are allowed.
