Select Ignore broadcast probe request to enable Extreme Networks devices hosting this SSID to ignore probe requests from wireless clients.
Select Hide SSID (Stealth mode) to enable a simple but ineffective method to secure a wireless network; it hides the SSID (Service Set Identifier).

Note
This method provides very little protection against anything but the most casual intrusion efforts.
Select FTM(11mc) Responder Support to enable client devices to determine how far they are from the AP.
If the civic address or latitude/longitude/altitude of the AP is configured, the AP advertises it in the beacon.
Note
Enabling FTM (Fine Timing Measurement) 11mc causes a radio reset.
Select SAVE OPTIONAL SETTINGS to save your changes.

Finish configuring the network policy.
