6710 Access Point User’s Guide 4-81

Select primary and fallback super root access points

on the home subnet. IP addresses for wireless

stations used with OWL/IP must belong to the home

subnet. See OWL/IP limitations in Appendix E.

2. Select access points on each remote subnet to serve as

designated bridges for those subnets. Configure

primary and fallback bridge priorities under the

[Bridging] menu, described on page 4-57.
Configure and record the IP addresses of all

designated bridges. Designated bridge candidates

must have permanent IP addresses. (DHCP should

not be used to assign IP addresses to OWL/IP

designated bridges unless a permanent lease is

specified, and the access points are rebooted prior to

configuring OWL/IP.)
It is not necessary to configure Global Flooding or

Flood Register settings for OWL/IP designated

bridges. These do not apply to OWL/IP designated

bridges.

3. Use the [OWL/IP] menu to configure super root

candidates to Originate if Root (described on page

4-82). Configure the IP Addresses Table (page 4-83)

using the appropriate addressing for designated

bridges on each subnet. All super root candidates

should be configured identically.

4. Configure OWL/IP [TX Filter] settings in all super

root and designated bridge candidates. A discussion of

[TX Filter] starts on page 4-84.

5. For networks using IP networking on wireless

stations, use of the ARP server capability in the access

point is strongly recommended. A discussion of ARP

server starts on page 4-36.
