ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600 Setting ARP Suppression 8. Click the Apply button. Description Select the enable radio button to enable Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) suppression. ARP suppression decreases the management traffic that the wireless controller must handle. ARP suppression is enabled by default and applies to the wired interface only. With ARP suppression enabled, if the IP addresses of all wireless clients that are associated with an access point are known, the wireless controller handles ARP requests in the following ways: • A packet with a known IP address is forwarded to its destination. • A packet with an unknown IP address is dropped. With ARP suppression enabled, if the IP address of at least one wireless client that is associated with an access point is not known, the wireless controller broadcasts (that is, floods) the ARP requests into the wireless network. Select the disable radio button to disable ARP suppression. Override Channel and Transmission Power in the Basic Profile Group The table on the Basic Wireless Settings screen shows the access points that are managed in the profiles of the basic profile group and to which the channel allocation and basic RF management settings apply. After you have configured the wireless settings for the basic profile group (see the previous section), you can change the channel, the transmission power, or both for individual access points in the basic profile group. For you to be able to configure these settings in the table, two requirements exist: • Channel. To enable the Access Point Channel menu in the table, you must disable automatic channel allocation on the Channel Allocation screen (see Configure Channels on page 177). • Transmission power. To enable the Tx Power menu in the table, you must disable automatic Tx power control on the basic RF Management screen (see Configure Radio Frequency Management for the Basic Profile Group on page 181). To override the channel and transmission power for individual access points in a security profile of the basic profile group: 1. Open a web browser. In the browser's address field, type the http:// followed by the IP address that you assigned to the wireless controller. By default, the IP address is 192.168.0.250. If you have not yet assigned another IP address to the wireless controller, type http://192.168.0.250. The wireless controller's login screen displays. 2. Enter your user name and password.
